After 2 Days Of Cannabis Treatment, This Autistic 9-Year-Old Spoke For The First Time

“While he was in the hospital, we noticed he didn’t speak at all and had some behavior that wasn’t right, like hand flapping, and walking on his toes,” said Abiel Santiago. “But we waited until he was 3 and cancer-free to look at his behavior.”

Abiel and his wife, Gladys, began researching Kalel’s autism trying to better understand it and learn about therapies for it. One of the treatments they found was using cannabis oil, specifically the compound cannabidiol, or CBD.
