California Doctor Gives Weed Cookies to a Hyper Four-Year-Old Boy

A California doctor has been stripped of his license after giving a four-year-old boy some marijuana cookies in order to control the child’s temper tantrums. According to the BBC, Dr. William Eidelman, a natural medicine physician, misdiagnosed the boy with having bipolar disorder and attention deficit disorder (ADD). . .

However, Dr. Eidelman did not have his license revoked due to giving the four-year-old boy marijuana, which is legal in California for medicinal purposes. It was instead due to his being “negligent in his care and treatment” for not consulting a psychiatrist or communicating with the boy’s school.

Dr. Eidelman’s “treatment” of the boy began at the request of his father in 2012, who suffered from ADHD and bipolar disorder himself as a child.

“The boy’s father consulted Dr. Eidelman in September 2012 because his son was misbehaving at school,” reports BBC. “As a child, the boy’s father had ADHD and bipolar disorder himself and had a negative experience with prescribed medications at the time, saying he felt like a ‘human guinea pig.’ He started using marijuana later in life, saying it helped ‘calm him’ and changed his behavior towards his wife, towards whom he had previously ‘exhibited anger.'” . . .

Dr. Eidelman prescribed tiny amounts of cannabis to the boy via weed cookies. A school nurse later discovered the secret ingredient when she was asked to administer it to the boy at lunchtime. (Read more from “California Doctor Gives Weed Cookies to a Hyper Four-Year-Old Boy” HERE)
