CBD For Kids

by Neil Mumby / 09 October 2020 / Published in CBD Explained
CBD For Kids

CBD Gummies for Kids, and CBD Oil for Kids. Should these Products Be Given to Children?

Cannabidiol’s growing popularity has opened the door to some interesting conversations. Cannabis discussions are quickly becoming mainstream again, and now, parents are looking for guidance on administering CBD for kids.

Parents are contemplating giving out CBD for kids with ADHD, CBD for kids with anxiety, and more. As cannabidiol can help support our communities’ wellness and well-being if used responsibly, this conversation is essential.  

We highly recommend that you talk about the addition of cannabidiol to your child’s routine with an appropriate physician. This is particularly important when administering CBD to recipients who have been diagnosed with a pre-existing condition.

Non-Psychoactive Hemp Compounds

Cannabidiol is just one of the 100+ cannabinoid compounds produced by the cannabis sativa plant species. This species contains non-psychoactive hemp, as well as the popular indica and sativa marijuana variants. 

All of these cannabis varieties create CBD. However, the WHO states that all CBD products for open sale must contain under 0.02% THC per dry weight of the selected product. This minimal THC minimal amount creates intoxication. Authentic CBD distributors typically rely on hemp flowers with minimal THC to produce compliant products.

A wide variety of cannabis compounds can be beneficial for children. Two high-profile cases of children needing cannabis medicine in the UK actually led to the revolutionary medical marijuana program that is now in place across the nation.

Cannabinoid compounds are simply an excellent fit for the human endocannabinoid system. This network is integral in our development, and it helps maintain healthy functioning in various crucial networks (such as the immune, endocrine, nervous, and vanilloid pain systems). However, you must ensure that these products are THC-free before use unless working under strict guidance from a qualified medical professional. 

All CBD Guru products are guaranteed to contain 0% THC. This is proven via third-party lab testing, which also displays consistent levels of the included non-psychoactive cannabinoids (CBD, CBC, CBN, CBG, etc.).

CBD for Kids Anxiety, Depression Sleep, and More

Parents frequently ask about the use of cannabidiol for anxiety. The honest response is that the FSA has not confirmed any restrictions on CBD use by children. That does not mean that we can recommend this use.

At this time, there are specific CBD products that can be prescribed for children under the guidance of a qualified medical practitioner. For example, children with epilepsy in some regions can qualify for GW Pharmaceuticals’ Epidiolex.

There are no known side effects when using CBD for childhood epilepsy. Research has also not determined any adverse side effects connected to over the counter CBD use. Still, a considerable amount of study regarding the use of cannabidiol in childhood is needed before anyone has conclusive results.

We know that the endocannabinoid system is integral in regulating healthy levels of anxiety and depression. Balanced expression of the two central cannabinoid receptors expressed by human cells (CB1 and CB2) promotes neuroprotection, healthy consolidation of fearful memories, and mood support. Both serotonin and dopamine are partially regulated by these cellular targets, making them an excellent way to boost mood and motivation.

Sleep is also intimately connected to the endocannabinoid system. Endocannabinoid activation has been shown to modify sleep stability and duration. Caring for the endocannabinoid system, via the ingestion of healthy foods, the integration of positive movements, and the use of organic compounds will lead to incredible support surrounding various imbalances.

What Types of CBD are Available?

CBD can be purchased online via various manufacturers and bought in person at different health shops, including big-name distributors. 

These outlets carry CBD capsules, gummies, topicals, oils, candies, and more. While children may be more drawn to CBD gummies, snacks, and sweets, adding CBD oil to a selected beverage is also an effortless way for kids to take cannabidiol.

When it comes to the medical application of cannabis and CBD for kids, the form is not of paramount concern. These children need pharmaceutically prescribed cannabis products to function, develop, and live. The option to provide both psychoactive and non-psychoactive cannabis medications to children, when the need arises, is a beautiful gift that will help bring comfort to families around the UK.

Are There Age Restrictions On the Use of CBD Products?

At this time, there is no FSA guidance on the use of CBD with children. They have stated that we should set a daily allowance of 70mg per day, which is easy to avoid exceeding. As it currently stands there is no age restriction surrounding the use or purchase of cannabidiol products.
Always reference lab testing, and speak with your family doctor before administering CBD to your kids. When the product is shown to be safe, non-toxic, and THC-free, it can do wonders for your family’s support. Check out our catalogue and select your premium CBD Guru products without delay.
