Hi -

I hope you won't mind my putting in an opinion, or rather just sharing some

experience.

Very often, the people coping with the extremes of mood, depression, absence of

self-worth are at an extremely high risk of addiction, and it can be badly set

off by starting w/marijuana.  Also, if your son has anxiety, it will

significantly increase on mj.  Paranoia is also common - most people just

overlook it, but in a teen, especially with low self-esteem, social paranoia can

be intense.  Our kids usually have allergies - you then deal with molds and

bronchitis, which makes asperger's worse.

Our large family has a high incidence of addiction.  I would be very cautious

before going that route.  I used to believe strongly in the legalization, but

being involved in the recovery side of family addiction and the universal

feelings that you hear from addicts - it sounds just like our kids struggling

w/asperger and isolation, and I'm starting to have to believe a lot

differently. 

If there is any history of alcoholism in your family, and it doesn't have to be

immediate - even grandparents can qualify him if any of you grew up under

alcoholism, your son could qualify for Alateen groups, where many of these kids

suffer the same feelings, and the acceptance in those groups can be very

supportive to a child going thru what ours go thru, and could give a young teen

a lot of hope, and a lot of tools for coping, and can even help develop some

social networks where you otherwise wouldn't find one. 

If that kind of history isn't available as a qualifier, there are some

church-based programs called Celebrate Recovery at various kinds of churches

(more than one religion I mean) that are more christian based (12-steps are not

religious even though they focus on a higher power) but not denominational, but

they have small groups that address pretty much most issues, including mental

illnesses and depression.   I have not tried them myself, but I've talked to a

few people, and this could be a great area to find really good mentors who will

take time to try to help your child and your family.  No one is more driven to

serving and meeting needs, but not everyone will understand aspergers ... but

you could give them tools that may help, and they may even be willing to expand

and open a group for social dysfunction.  That's something I've considered

investigating.

HTH-

I am assuming you mean pills you swallow from Cannabis? Is this correct?

If it is... I would hesitate. Marijuana is a psychologically addictive drug

and

can very well be physically addictive, too. The body depends on it over time

and then when you stop you find yourself in a state of severe depression,

anxiety worsens, and many other issues can transpire. I know this firsthand

and would be willing to discuss my experience.

I know there are people out there who are more susceptible to addiction. We

are individuals with an addictive personality and somehow that does relate to

our illness(es) of auto/neuro immune dysunction.

My two cents: Dr. G is VERY against this and once showed me SPECT scans of the

effects of long-term marijuana use on the brain. VERY scary. There were

multiple dark (dead) areas. It might help with some symptoms in the short term,

but in the long term, the damage to the brain is irreversable. Our kids already

have brain dysfunction that we are trying to heal; I certainly wouldn't want to

do anything to make it permanent.
