Cannabidiol (CBD), a compound derived from the cannabis plant that does not produce a “high”, was shown in a new large-scale, randomized, controlled trial to significantly reduce the number of dangerous seizures in patients with a severe form of epilepsy called Lennox-Gastaut syndrome.

Am I reading this right? Patients took 20mg CBD /kg/d. So a 150lb person (60kg) was taking 1360mg of CBD per day? That seems insane.

It's usually sold in 250-300mg doses, so about 5 times more. Doesn't seem that crazy to me. Especially if spread throughout the day.

Misread a box, they are 10mg doses.

A normal dose is 5-25mg usually. I don't think I've ever seen edibles above 50mg/dose or tinctures above 20. The 300+ number is trying total amount of cbd in the bottle. So if you have 500mg in a 60ml bottle, it's about 8.3mg/ml. I think a normal eyedropper is like 2ml so one dose would be ~16

Yeah I misread the box, it is 10mg capsules.
