Summary

This study tests whether a cannabis oil containing CBD, terpenes, and a small amount of THC can reduce challenging behaviors and social difficulties in children with autism. About 78 children aged 4 to 12 will take either the cannabis oil or a placebo for 2 months, then all may receive the active treatment. The goal is to see if the oil is safe and helps improve symptoms like irritability and social skills.
