Cannabis cure for ADHD

Mother of two and pediatrician Claudia Jensen of California [the surprises keep coming] wants to prescribe marijuana to children with Attention deficit / Hyperactivity Disorder. She claims that it's a lot better than going out and actually buying the expensive drugs when one can just go in the backyard and pick off a leaf to calm the nerves. In addition to prescribing marijuana for her own patients, she is actually a first year professor to medical students at the University of Southern California. I bet they're proud of the message the med students are getting.

This could he all for naught, though. Dr. Jensen would probably be relieved to realize that a lot of the work has been done for her. Teenagers with ADHD have been self-prescribing pot for years.
