As society seems to become more accepting of marijuana, the laws around this drug have changed as well. Some states have decriminalized marijuana, while others have actually legalized marijuana (within certain parameters, of course). For example, California recently introduced new cannabis rules and regulations.
Trying to Help Their Daughter
Due to her autism, Zara is not able to speak and began hitting herself when she was 4 years old. In fact, she would hit herself so severely that it caused her bones to break and brain damage. While her parents, Mark and Christy, tried to calm their daughter with anti-psychotic drugs, these drugs only put her in a zombie-like state. Upon the suggestion of a neighbor, they gave her a pot brownie, which stopped Zara from hitting herself while also taking an interest in her surroundings.
As a result, Mark and Christy tried to persuade lawmakers in Texas to legalize the use of medical marijuana for autistic patients (low-THC medical marijuana is currently available for “intractable epilepsy”).
