California Doctors now Recommending Medical Marijuana for Minors with ADHD

3 12 2009

Since legalizing medical marijuana in 2004, California has issued over 36,000 cards to California patients, and the number is growing in young adults and children.

Doctors are not just signing off on medical marijuana use for teens and children, but they’re now recommending the use of it for children with ADHD.

“For some kids, it appears to be more effective than traditional treatments. And marijuana certainly has fewer potential dangers than Ritalin.”

The use of medical marijuana in children is still a growing “hot topic” but it would appear that many doctors have given it the thumbs up.
