Remember when we were younger, and our parents might help cure a little toothache with a little whiskey, or perhaps help us get to sleep on Christmas Eve with some Benadryl?

There are a lot of ways parents help settle their kids down, and all parents know any little tips are appreciated.


Well that's the focus of our Dr. Miles Intervention this morning.

This woman likes to partake in a little marijuana use from time to time (it's legal in her state), and she'll sometimes make brownies laced with CBD.

One night, her normally wild son ate one of the brownies unknowingly, and was calm all evening and slept like a baby. He didn't even have any his normal problems waking up for school the next day.

When this woman figured out what happened, she wondered, since her son didn't show any negative effects, that if she could possibly give him more brownies in the future to help keep him calm and help him sleep.

She posed the question on Facebook, and got blasted by her friends for even suggesting such a thing.

What are some of the other things parents do for the children, like whiskey on sore gums, or a little Benadryl to help them sleep? CBD is legal in so many states now, what's the difference between using CBD and whiskey or Benadryl?
