For families

You found us. Here's what to do next.

Take it in the order that feels right. We led with the hard questions on purpose.

Start here

The two questions parents ask first

Before any steps. Because feeling understood comes before being ready to act.

"Is this actually okay to give my child?"

I asked myself that question approximately nine thousand times.

Here is what I want you to know. When I finally gave Abby cannabis oil, it was not because I threw my hands up and quit. It was because I had spent months questioning every specialist, every medication, every therapy, every rabbit hole the internet had to offer at 2 in the morning, and I was still watching my daughter hurt herself every single day.

This was not giving up. This was the most researched, most prayed over, most agonized over decision I had ever made for her. And I made it with the same fierce, relentless love that drove every other decision before it.

So if you are sitting there feeling guilty for even reading this page right now, I need you to hear me.

That guilt is not yours to carry.

You are not here because you failed. You are here because you never stopped trying. That is not failure. That is what loving your child looks like.

"Does this get my child high?"

At this ratio, with consistent dosing, what we see is not a high. It is a calm. A settling that lets Abby engage with the day instead of fighting it.

The CBD is doing most of the work. The THC is there in a low dose because it makes the CBD work better. That combination is very different from recreational cannabis or high-THC products.

I was scared of this question too. The honest answer is the best answer I can give you.

If you are in Georgia

Georgia families. Here is where to start.

Abby's Hope is available now to qualifying patients through Georgia's medical cannabis program at Botanical Sciences dispensaries.

1

Talk to your child's physician

Ask about the Georgia Medical Cannabis program. Autism spectrum disorder is a qualifying condition. Be specific about the behaviors that most affect your child's safety and daily life. Bring documentation if you have it.

2

Get registered

If your physician recommends the program, they will register your child through the Georgia Department of Public Health. You can also become registered at any of the Botanical Sciences locations.

3

Visit Botanical Sciences

Once registered, you can access Abby's Hope at Botanical Sciences dispensaries. Their team will walk you through the rest.

If you are not in Georgia

Not in Georgia? We're working on it.

We are expanding Abby's Hope into states where autism is a qualifying condition for medical cannabis access — Pennsylvania, Michigan, Louisiana, Minnesota, Colorado, Florida, Texas, Massachusetts, and more.

If you are in one of these states, something is coming. If you are somewhere else, your state matters too. Families asking is exactly how we decide where to go next.

Thank you. We'll reach out the moment Abby's Hope reaches your state.
