Here's Something Different

A USC pediatrician said she has seen good results using ingested - not smoked - cannabis for the treatment of children with ADD and ADHD (attention problems), primarily because it does not offer anywhere near the side effects of what she called heavier duty drugs such as Ritalin.

I found this a little interesting because years ago, I happened to overhear a conversation between 2 or 3 doctors at Yale (I was there attending a cancer conference) who were discussing a similar study being done in Canada or England or some such place related to children for whom Ritalin either didn't work or had miserable effects. Never heard a peep about it after that, until the spot on "Countdown" on MSNBC tonight.
