A lot of research is currently being done to show that cannabinoids can be used in the treatment of ADHD and autism.
A paper written by Pavlovic, published in 2017 in Global Journey of Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, argued that if autism is a neuro-immunological disorder, then modifying CB1 and CB2 receptors could help us in treating autism. Another study by Cooper, published in 2017 in European Neuropsychopharmacology, provided some proof that cannabinoids do help in the treatment of ADHD, and more research needs to be done on endocannabinoid system in people suffering from ADHD.

Canna Oils BCP is 100% Beta Caryophyllene and is extracted from either the clove or black pepper plant.
……..And unlike CBD oil, there’s no risk of THC being mixed ……. Since both contain the same cannabinoid, both of them can be used in the treatment of ADHD and autism.

Another study states:
Beta-caryophyllene is also a terpene that is commonly found in black pepper.
The sharp nature of this terpene is thought to enhance concentration and promote a sense of calmness and ease.
In early laboratory experiments, researchers discovered that beta-caryophyllene has anti-anxiety and immune-modulating effects, which may be helpful in relieving some of the auxiliary side effects in those with ADHD and Autism.

Just to clear up, Beta Caryophyllene is known as both a terpene and dietary cannabinoid (as stated above), so both of these above reports are talking about the same compound.
Again, the activation of the CB2 receptors has the potential for such amazing benefit in our bodies. Keeping our endocannabinoid system functioning optimally is of the upmost importance to help keep us balanced, calm and focused! So in my opinion, this is great news for those with ADHD or Autsim. As I say, it’s always worth a try!!
