I’ve learned that often, experimentation with dosing and strength is the key to feeling the effects of this natural treatment. My friend with epilepsy began a nightly dose of one dropper of 500 mg full spectrum Green Compass CBD oil as a means to help her with seizure control. She eventually realized that doing this twice a day was much more effective and significantly helped with her seizure management.

“I counsel my patients on the effects of CBD,” said Dr. Frank. “We discuss what their expectations are, and if they have taken CBD before. It is important to find out why the patient wants to take it, and if it is appropriate for them. Managing expectations is so important.”

While bright, the future of CBD is in flux. It’s an exciting time in that so many people are discovering potential benefits, but what is expected to be a $20 billion industry by 2024, still faces few federal regulations. But, I believe with the right companies, like Green Compass, forging ahead and spending time and money on research and quality, the industry will thrive.
