Particular report: How hashish might form future autism therapies | Spectrum

Anecdotal reports from some doctors, parents, and autistic adults have long suggested that cannabis and cannabis-derived products can alleviate certain common autism characteristics, including anxiety and aggression. Although many of these claims are untested, research over the past five years shows that cannabis can relieve seizures in people with autism-associated syndromes and benefit other autistic people as well.

As drug regulators ease restrictions on cannabis use, a new era of research has opened. This special report examines the growing evidence on cannabis’ therapeutic potential for autism, as well as Spectrum’s coverage of the evolving regulatory environment.
