A new study indicates cannabis treatment may improve the quality of life for patients with autism spectrum disorder. In a detailed report from A.J. Herrington writing in Cannabis Now, we learn the results showed patients with autism who took the cannabis treatment improved dramatically. “Patients were given either CBD oil, THC oil or a combination of the two,“ Herrington writes.
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurological and developmental disorder that affects how people communicate, learn, interact and behave according to the National Institute of Mental Health.
“The cannabis treatments appeared to result in improvements in participants’ verbal communication skills, with 85% of caregivers reporting their family member was more receptive to direct verbal communication,” A.J. Herrington writes. “Additionally, 75% of caregivers reported improvements in eye contact and attention to conversation, while verbal communication improved for half of the study participants.”
