Primarily the inability to communicate and cognitive impairments in autistic population. This is very complex. However, there are similarities among self injurious person in general. For instance, the frustration of being held captive to what is often a behavior that has evolved into a compuslive behavior. A behavior that is triggered by a plethora of antecedents, due to autistic person’s inability to respond to conventional methods used in non autistic populations to thwart or otherwise reduce the tendencies to self abuse. Marijuana advocates don’t seem to understand the complexities involved in dealing with autistic who present with chronic intraccable SIB. If they want to be taken seriously, they need to do their research. They need to explain WHY marijuana would HELP autistic who self abuse. What does marijuana DO to brain that would help? Does it elevate dopamine? Or other neurotransmitters that would reduce tendency to self abuse? What are adverse reactions? What about autistics with seizure issues? Or who have complex issues? You can’t just take one or two examples of people who CLAIM dope helped their autistic kid without examining WHY or HOW this worked? see kgaccount on you tube for better understanding of how complex treatment is with autistic population who self abuse. Hit and Run STORIES about how weed helped a self abusing autistic are not enought. If U all want to be taken seriously than SHOW us the EVIDENCE and science as to WHY this could stop self injurious behavior among autistics. These ISOLATED reports of POT helping autistic kids is highly suspect in abscene of EVIDENCE and research SHOWING us WHY it helps. DOesn’t marijuana carry adverse side effects? How would this affect the alreadly fragile minds of autistic who self abuse? While there is NO doubt that psychotropic meds or otherwise conventional prescriptions used in treating SIB among autistics carries risk, if you want medical pot to have a serious consideration, you all need to explain why it helps. Don't use this population to further your PRO POT agenda without showing us why it would help Please note that self injurious behavior among autistic populations who are non verbal is rooted in multiple antecedents that fluctuate daily and are rooted in autistic disorder.

People die of brain aneurysm because of use of marijuana. Marijuana makes the blood rush to the head. An aneurysm is a dilation of a blood vessel (similar to a balloon) which as it expands has the potential for rupture. So when blood rushes suddenly to the head of a person with brain aneurysm, that blood vessel can rupture. If a person dies of aneurysm, that person should be tested for marijuana in the system or prior use of marijuana. “Research also suggests that people who use marijuana are at higher risk for developing aneurysms and other health issues than those who do not.”
