Can Kids or Teenagers Safely Eat CBD Gummies?

CBD gummies have become a popular way for adults to get CBD. But what about kids and teens - is it safe for them to eat CBD gummies too?

What is CBD?

CBD stands for cannabidiol. It is a chemical compound found in cannabis plants like hemp. CBD products are made from hemp extract and contain little to no THC. THC is what makes people feel "high". Most CBD gummies don't cause psychoactive effects.

Why do adults take CBD gummies?

Research shows CBD may help relieve stress, anxiety, sleep issues, and mild pain. However, most CBD benefit studies look at adults. So there is limited formal research on how CBD affects young people.

Are CBD gummies safe for kids & teens?

Currently, doctors caution against children or teens using CBD regularly. Kids' brains and bodies are still developing, so CBD may interfere with growth in unpredictable ways. However, some parents still give CBD to kids for severe forms of anxiety, ADHD, or behavioral issues. This should only be done under medical guidance.

Dosing concerns

Proper dosing is very difficult with kids. Adult doses may be too high. And gummy flavors & colors could encourage overeating. Without oversight, too much CBD may be unsafe for youth. Caregivers should consult pediatricians and only give child-sized doses.

The verdict is still out on CBD gummies for kids and teenagers as research continues. Parents are advised to exercise great caution - and get doctor approval - before giving CBD to young people.
