Cannabidiol (CBD) is an increasingly popular natural remedy that many parents are considering for their children. With the rising popularity of CBD, it’s essential to understand how it works and whether or not it is safe for kids to take.

This blog post will provide helpful information about CBD gummies, their potential medical benefits, possible side effects, and legal considerations that parents should be aware of when considering them for their children.

What Are CBD Gummies?

CBD Gummies are edible treats infused with cannabidiol extract. They come in various shapes and sizes and can be flavored with different ingredients, like fruit.

Unlike marijuana edibles that contain THC – the compound responsible for making users high – CBD gummies come in two types:

1. THC- Free gummies that have all the cannabinoids in them except to THC
2. Full Spectrum CBD Gummies that contain only trace amounts of THC (less than 0.3%), so they won’t get you high. Stirling has a couple options of full-spectrum gummies, including CBD Energy Gummies and CBD Immunity Gummies.

Are They Safe For Kids?

YES! But with some caveats. First, CBD is not a cure for all; it should be used as part of an overall healthcare plan and not as a substitute for traditional medical advice.

Some evidence suggests that taking small doses of CBD may benefit children with certain conditions, such as improving brain function, cardiovascular health, and overall wellness.

Additionally, there have been anecdotal reports from parents of children with certain conditions who have seen improvements in their child’s behavior after giving them small doses of CBD-infused products like gummies.

Possible Side Effects Of Taking CBD Gummies For Kids

Although no serious side effects have been reported from taking CBD gummies for kids, there are still possible risks associated with ingesting any type of cannabis product. Of course, you never want to give children any high-dose THC products.

Some minor side effects may include changes in appetite, but these are rare. It’s also important to note that these products aren’t regulated by the FDA Rules yet (although they are working on regulations).

There is always a risk of contamination from heavy metals or pesticides if you buy inferior products from shady sources online or at dispensaries not correctly inspected by government agencies. The good news is that all Stirling CBD products are 3rd party tested by independent laboratories to ensure they are organic, pesticide-free, and contain no heavy metals or mycotoxins.  

Therefore, buying from reliable sources with proper lab testing results available upon request is always recommended.

Conclusion

The decision whether or not to give your child CBD products should only be made after consulting with a qualified pediatrician who can advise on dosage amounts and potential interaction with other medications your child may be taking.

If a doctor recommends giving your child CBD gummies as part of their treatment plan, then make sure to only purchase products from reputable companies that offer third-party lab testing results, so you know exactly what you’re getting and how much THC is present in each dose.

Additionally, ensure the product uses organically grown hemp without adding artificial colors or flavors. So you can ensure your child gets all-natural ingredients without any added preservatives or chemicals they could be allergic to!

Finally, remember that laws regarding cannabis-derived products vary widely depending on where you live, so make sure you know what the rules are in your state before purchasing anything containing cannabinoids.
