Use of CBD for aggression in Autism
My autistic daughter’s health is changing due to the weight gain caused by her psych med Abilify. I am exploring other options of treatment and came across CDB . Any thoughts or experiences regarding use of CBD to wean and or eventually replace psych meds?

Hello, my daughter is 25 years old with autism. I have tried everything. CBD helps a little. But I still have to use her xanax on really bad days.

I'm a grand father. My very first grandchildren (girl and boy) have autism and ADHD, respectively .
It's running us cold. Any idea how such could happen?

CBD is a medicinal cannabinoid in the Hemp plant. (Cannabis Sativa)
My 6 year old granddaughter is mostly non verbal ASD.
I read several research studies regarding ‘full spectrum CBD’ for mitigation of acute aggressive or non responding children. It helps calm them down and focus for a bit.
I shared the studies, with my son and daughter in law and sent them a bottle of ‘full spectrum CBD’ and $100 for more.
That was over a year ago.
She’s now more calm longer, and saying a few more words and playing with her 10 month old baby brother pretty calmly.
and Just finished Kindergarten
But, it only helps if taken daily.
Google the ‘human endocannabinoid system’ to understand more!
In almost every study,
Full spectrum CBD was superior to Isolate or Broad Spectrum CBD.
All the cannabinoids, all the terpenes and all the flavonoids working together.
(CBD, CBG, CBC, CBN very small amounts of THC as well)
Read about the terpenes and flavonoids in the cannabis sativa plant as well.
The Israeli’s are ahead of the world in research of understanding the benefits of the cannabinoids, terpenes and flavonoids of the cannabis sativa plant.
