I checked the link to see if this happened in the United States or some other country but saw no text, weird. If this is happening in the you you you.S. My first question is, "WHAT"?

Marijuana is illegal and even if the medical stuff is legal, the kid is only 9! His brain is still developing. Treating a child with a brain disfunction with a drug that can seriously hamper the function of brain development seems like a bad idea to me.
