Can I Give My Child CBD Oil?

Many parents ask, “Can I give my child CBD oil?” The answer is surprisingly murky. Social media is bursting with stories of children who have been helped by cannabis products. Childhood epilepsies have had parents asking, “Can I give my child CBD oil?” for years. As a result, seizures have been calmed, anxieties soothed, inflammation reduced, and the list goes on.

While cannabis research regularly shows the benefits of CBD treatments, very few trials have been conducted using children as participants. For that reason, most physicians are hesitant to recommend such products for children — even those suffering from harsh and intractable conditions. But, desperate for help of any kind, parents have turned to social media, where supportive communities share a willingness to defy the medical establishment in pursuit of helping children.

There simply hasn’t been enough time for science to uncover the long-term consequences (good or bad) of giving CBD to children.
