Can anyone provide any information on cbd oil dosage for a autistic child?
There does not seem to be much publically available info out there on this subject as the lack of medical trials on children means there is not much to go on.
With little professional verification that CBD is safe for children (there is a serious lack of studies involving under 18s), if you do decide to give CBD to a child, make sure you are aware of any potential risks, consult a doctor and are vigilant about dosages.
They recommend working with a medical professional rather than a DIY approach.
Also looking at the Great Ormond Street Hospital site:
We have no real information on the side-effect profile of cannabinoid oils, especially in young children, who may be extremely sensitive to small doses. In addition, young children are often unable to accurately describe adverse effects meaning toxicity may be under reported.
There is no information on the long-term effects of cannabinoids.
Cetailny looking at the long term mental effects of marijuana use (which have caniboids as their main active ingredient) there are enough serious adverse effects to make considering long term caniboid use in children a very dubious plan.
I would recommend starting with your GP and seeing if they can recommend a specialist before considering what is potentially a path with long term mental detriments for your child.
