Mistakes and lessons learnt

Wow, what a tough two weeks. We changed from Hempture to Charlottes Web everyday plus and it was very rocky. I had high hopes as it was a stronger concentration but after a few days I wasn't so sure it was better.
We finished up on .5ml twice a day on the hempture bottle but I decided to drop it a little in case it was too much.  He's not a fan of the taste even though its mint chocolate, he said it tastes like gas. I'm not sure what that means but if I have a drink ready he'll still take it.  After two or three days on the everyday plus I wasn't seeing any real effects.  This bottle comes with a dropper, really easy to use and I misread on a support group that one full dropper is 1ml. It seemed to be a common dose so I stupidly gave him 1dropper. HUGE MISTAKE. It definitely wasn't 1ml and it was way to big of a jump for him to handle. Plus it was the first day of Easter holidays. He was bouncing off the walls, aggression was extreme and there was no settling him for hours.

I wont make that mistake again. He was put straight back down to .25ml twice a day and I am slowly increasing it to .5ml again. Very slowly! He has had two weeks off school for Easter and it was a really tough two weeks. Between no routine, no school and too much chocolate it was a disaster. So I was really wary of increasing it too much too fast. If he was bad I wouldn't know if it was the oil or the actual midterm.

He seems to be settling again and  I think we are finding our rhythm with it. Hes up to .4ml and has had three great days. Shockingly hes had two days back to school with no incidents.  On Monday morning after dropping him off I wasn't even going to bother driving home as I was expecting a call almost immediately.

On the plus side I was completely wrong about the prices. I think I said in the first blog the hempture was 40euro and this was 80euro with delivery. It is but the Hempture is 10ml and this is 30ml so it actually worked out alot better.

I'm hoping to see a bigger improvement with him, Id love him to relax a little to reduce anxiety, especially as the summer is coming up. These two weeks were long, two months is terrifying.  But I'm not sure if he needs the advances plus bottle. I hope not, its a big price jump.
Fingers crossed for now things stay as they are. And I will be making sure I don't give him too much ever again!

  1. Hi. I think you need to get a bit better acquainted with how you know for sure whats in the bottle you buy, I know its a bit difficult due to so many misleading sales techniques. ml mg and % but its not that hard when you get to understand what it all means. I always recommend that people go by mg as that's the most important aspect. The ml is for determining how strong the oil is.
    A strong CBD oil, max strength in my opinion, is 1500mg in 10 ml carrier oil. The best is hemp oil.
    That same oil in 30 ml bottle will be 500mg.

  4. Hi asim, I haven't continued with the blog as I stopped giving the oil. After a few months, a few different brands and strengths and alot of money it made no difference to my son sadly.
