CBD OIL

Has anyone tried CBD OIL to help with calming Autistic children?

Parents
  • CBD itself does not seem to have particularly harmful adverse effects, diarrhoea being the most common, but large-scale clinical trials are few in number and the exact constituents of CBD products vary between producer companies.  See here:

    The typical low dosage of CBD gummies - 10-30 mg a day - are unlikely to cause problems. Particularly, as one test subject was given 160 mg in one dose, before a stressful public speaking event.

  • I'd have loved to have it to help with presentations in some of the jobs I was in.  Even now, after escaping from such roles, I find it helpful when I'm getting too keyed up.  

    Mind you, I'd probably not give it to a young child without medical advice and, as an adult, I take tolerance breaks so's I don't have to keep upping the dose.
