“The Echols researched Oregon’s medical marijuana program, and in 2010, a doctor approved Alex for medical marijuana use. Alex is now one of 58 minors currently protected under the Oregon Medical Marijuana Act. While autism is not a qualifying medical condition like cancer or severe pain, in Alex’s case, his seizures were. And after a few months of treatment, the Echols said they saw a dramatic improvement. Echols said Alex’s group home will not administer the marijuana, so, about three times a week off-site, his parents give Alex a liquid form of the drug by mouth.”
