Any one have experience with CBD to help manage anxiety and agitation in your loved ones?

    Hi Jez, I give my LO one CBD/THC + melatonin gummy at night to help him sleep. So far they are working and he sleeps through the night, at least most of the time.

    We tried 20cbd+1thc gummies at around 4-6 hour intervals during day for agitation, it helped some but often short lasting like 2-3 hours. At night 2.5cbn+2.5thc helped with sleep through I am seeing some recommendations that cbn alone is better. This was under supervision of naturopathic doctor with experience prescribing MMJ, would not have undertaken experiments on my own due to multiple other meds in play. I was also advised to monitor for low blood pressure which did happen.
