Antipsychotic medications such as clozapine (Clozaril®), risperidone (Risperdal®), olanzapine (Zyprexa®), and quetiapine (Seroquel®) may decrease hyperactivity, behavioral problems, withdrawal, and aggression in autistic patients.

Marijuana does have a few legitimate uses in medicine., though not as many as advocates claim. I have no problem with it for legitimate medical use, and recreationally it is safer than alcohol. I have never heard of it being studied or used to treat Autism. I think ethically there would be some concerns giving children marijuana.
