Joann Fouquette was desperate to find help -- that's when she saw a story on the local news about a clinical trial involving children with autism and CBD at the Center for Medicinal Cannabis Research at UC-San Diego.

"It's devastating," she told CNN Chief Medical Correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta.
How this Texas family uses marijuana to help their daughter 02:47Ezra was mostly nonverbal going into the trial, she said. But in the first few weeks, something remarkable happened."One day, I was at the grocery store, and my husband sent me a video. And it's Ezra laying on the floor wrapped in a blanket, and he's singing," she said."He had never sung before ... and he's singing the entire song."Fouquette told Gupta what was going through her mind at the time.
It's not clear what role the treatment may have played in Ezra's progress. The study hasn't been published, and it wasn't looking at whether cannabis or CBD could be neuroregenerative to the brain. More research is needed in this area."Some of the kids who've shown an effect ... show it for several weeks after the study drug is taken away. And some seem to maintain some improvement," Trauner said."But I don't know why that would be.
