CNN Special Report Weed and Autism

The 6th Installment in the Award-winning Series by Dr. Sanjay Gupta will Air on Sunday, December 19th at 8pm ET/PT

Nearly ten years ago, CNN chief medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta set out on a journey and traveled the globe to investigate the medical benefits of medical marijuana. WEED, the original award-winning documentary in the series that premiered in 2015, highlighted the remarkable benefits of CBD in treating seizure disorders in kids. The documentary led to dozens of state legislatures changing laws granting parents and doctors the ability to use CBD in treating children.

In WEED 6: Marijuana and Autism, which airs on Sunday, December 19th at 8 pm ET/PT, Dr. Gupta takes viewers on a similar journey. Medical marijuana is known to treat dozens of disorders. In this documentary, Gupta follows several families who have seen the miraculous benefits of the plant on their children struggling with autism.

But it's never more than a temporary patch. I would still be in the dumps 2 days later. I didn't really beat depression until I was in my 30s and found out taking a mushroom trip one or two times a year really scraped all the barnacles off my hull.

I have a friend that has Afib and he smokes massive amounts. Large doses trigger AFib and it's killing him.
I use 2 puffs before bed to help me sleep. If I smoke more than that, I have a hard time falling asleep.
Of course CBD is much safer.
