One of my twins was born helplessly disabled due to severe hydrocephalus, which led to severe cerebral palsy. It starts with you from all the brain surgery resulted in pretty bad epilepsy. He's so far off the charts that he can't really be tested but we know he's also very autistic. Not like on the Spectrum as people say these days I mean like he is the Spectrum . he covers every bit of it. It's evident in his severe sensitivity issues.. I mean severe.

It just so happens that his mom is dying of stage 4 lung and brain cancer. I would really like for him to look his best at her imminent funeral and hopefully before that I'd like her to see him looking his best also at least once before she goes

Due to his severe sensitivity issues, you will not let people touch his head or get anywhere near it with Clippers or scissors or anything like that. We have to cut little bits and pieces here and there when we can while he's asleep. It's a never-ending haircut.

My barber of the last 20-something years has wholeheartedly agreed to teach me what I need to know in order to give my son the first decent haircut he's ever had in his life of 24 years, that wasn't done by a brain surgeon in pre-op. Although, I do have to give his old dentist a big shout out. He used to have to sedate him for those same sensitivity issues in order to clean his teeth. The man was a saint. He would bring his own personal Clippers to the clinic the days my son would show up for his appointment and while he was sedated (my son 😉), and would give him a complete GI Joe Buzz cut, free of charge.

Okay, here's where I need the help. Im considering getting my son stoned a little bit before taking him to the barber. I've got a decarboxylator and some decent wedding cake, like a half pound of it , LOL don't ask, and if you don't think he's special enough yet, my son is also fed 100" of his nutrients through a G-tube that we've been feeding him through since he was 5 years old. So getting it into him is not going to be a problem. I'm just struggling with the ethics of it all. What are your opinions of me slipping a finite amount of Narcotics into my son without his knowledge or any experience with such a narcotic in the past. Although that Risperdal he was on for a good part of his life probably makes the little bit of weed I'm suggesting seem like a couple drops of lavender in the essential oil diffuser in comparison. But I'm still torn.

I've got almost 50 years of experience smoking weed. It's not the drug I'm worried about. Like I said, it really is the ethics. His whole life I've been his protector . I feel like I might be to betraying him a little bit. On the other hand, this could be what he's been needing to dial down these sensitivity issues.

I read an article on it years ago about a man who gave his young Autistic daughter marijuana and it was very beneficial to her. I think I recall the only downside being public opinion since she was like 8 years old or something like that but it really calmed her down without droning her out, making her much more functional

Also. Does anyone have any advice on making tea from decarbed weed? I'm not sure if this wedding cake will grind into a fine enough powder to make it through the little check valve in his button (connection point for the g-tube). ..and oral delivery hasn't been an option for over 19 years and was a long shot faint option the 5 years it ever was an option, hence the G-tube.

I'm really hoping we can all come together and regardless of our perspectives, we only make constructive, forward progress on this post. Let's at least try?

@V00doo thank you so much for replying and participating the way I was hoping everybody was going to participate either for or against. I didn't think civil was going to be too difficult on this one but apparently... for some people... I probably embarrassed myself on a couple of my replies but I really don't care I'm not sorry for the things I said to some people who needed to hear them. Anyway thanks for your idea I've never heard of such a thing. But it makes sense that there might be. However, the goal is that I want to learn how to do it myself. It's something I've been someone working on since I took over at Sole caretaker when my wife fell I'll.

He tolerates me running my fingers through his hair as long as i stay away from the shunt. I think theres an approach to success, but i know for sure its a narrow one with cliffs on both sides. And if anyone goes over the cliff, they will wreck it for any further attempts for a long time. I know that was a week analogy but I hope it makes sense. I think one of the other factors is I got catch him when he's sleepy. Also, everybody tries to use Clippers on him. I don't think that's the right tool, considering that's what's what the brain surgeons used on him and even though they were ultimately relieving paying for him I think it might remind him of painful times either way. I don't know if any of the stuff is right but I want to work it all into my advantage just in case it is. One of the reasons I thought about including marijuana is that I recall how good it feels to have my scalp lightly scratched when I'm stoned. And how I'm like I said, Mr j, not Sergeant j. I'm way more mellow. I think I decided that it's going to happen. I think it's for the better and I think he's going to enjoy it. I'm not planning on getting him baked out of his mind. I'm experimenting with a very light dose for myself and when I find it I plan on giving him maybe a quarter of that since he's about half my weight and I only want to take the slightest bit of an edge off for him I can always add more if it's not enough but I can never take back a bad trip LOL

Thanks again for your kind comment. I hope you can ignore any juvenile or overstated replies I may have replied to some other people in this post. But if not , I at least hope you are entertained.. and I don't mean that in a snarky way
