Pot brownies 'saved life' of autistic child

A California mother's decision to treat her autistic son with marijuana is coming under fire from some in the medical community, who believe the treatment is unproven and could be harmful.

Mieko Hester-Perez says her son Joey was malnourished and out of control before the Brea, Calif. mother began feeding him marijuana brownies.

"He was 48 pounds and 10 years old," Hester-Perez told Fox & Friends Monday morning. "You could see all his bones … His arms, legs, chest and torso were all the same size. He had extremely aggressive behavior. He was running out of our home. … He was unstable."

"parents, remember this information if your child got all their h1n1 shots..."

You know, I'm not a big fan of vaccinations, and I worry about the stress being placed upon the immune system from the exponential growth in the number of vaccines given to children.

Having said this, there is no good scientific evidence linking vaccinations to autism, and, oh, by the way, don't you think it's a bit fishy that the scientist who first raised the issue just happened to have a patent on mercury-free vaccinations that he was trying to productize at the time?

real scientists would appreciate the fact that no, there has not been enough research done, but this woman is willing to let her son be a guinea pig anyway. Learn from this. This is the research.
