So this is insane and ridiculous. I Toddler only 2 and a half years old has a Medical Marijuana card. Granted this kid has been through a lot, brain tumour, but Weed contains Tetrahydrocannabinol (also known as THC). THC is not safe for toddler consumption, due to the fact that it can make a baby's heart stop. Another risk is loss of short term memory, something children need to be able to learn.
Before people say I'm attacking the doctor that prescribed this, NO. I'm attacking the father, first of all it is not a good idea to give this to your kid, in fact the fathers probably stealing the prescription. Also the family didn't try hard enough to get the child to eat. I know he states it had been 40 days since the baby ate but that clearly is a lie.
As you can see I am against this but I wanna see a fair debate about this topic.

I don't think we're at liberty to call facts of the case to be false. It's easy to call something false when its not something we normally encounter. Similarly it's so easy to pass judgement on other people's decision when we're not in the same position they are. I think the parents were simply trying to do what they think is best given what options they have.

There have been studies to prove that children require their short term memory to learn and studies that prove THC has short term memory loss. As for the stoping a heart beat, I have yet to find a good source of proof.
Another point that I should have brought up before is Cannabis can be consumed in several forms none of which would be safe for a minor let alone a baby.

Are those effects permanent? Do we know all facts surrounding the case? We only know what very little info made it onto the article. This isn't really something for us to judge one way or the other.

technically ESX it isnt but at the same time it is. I mean a woman went to jail for giving her 4 year old weed, nonprescribed but still. Why on earth should it be alright for a 2 year old to take it? I've seen first hand hat weed does to a two year old((horrible mistake involving brownies....)) . Granted not every child is the same but thats still a bunch of bullshit

I really think the doctor that prescribed it didn't check with other medical professionals about giving a baby weed. Any harm done to the child could mean that the said doctor would loose his license.

He probably perscribed it out of greed. Not to sound cynical, but it results in an addiction which means a permenant patient for life.

I don't think thats possible unless he runs a weed store which I highly doubt.

Well, I am a bit of a cynic, so this is my guess, but perhapse he actually thought it would be good for the little kid.

I have no problem with this. Every drug has a side effect. I mean, do we really have stats on what effect, for example, Morphine use on babies have, short or long term? Theres always a possibility for some adverse side effect. But being scared and avoiding usage does nothing.
