Cannabidiol
Cannabidiol ( CBD ) is a cannabinoid found in cannabis . It is a major constituent of the plant, representing up to 40% in its extracts. [ 2 ] Compared to THC, cannabidiol, though psychoactive, is non-intoxicating, and is considered to have a wider scope of medical applications than THC, including to epilepsy, [ 3 ] multiple sclerosis spasms, [ 4 ] anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, [ 5 ] and nausea. Cannabidiol has displayed sedative effects in animal tests. [ 6 ] Some research, however, indicates that CBD can increase alertness. [ 7 ] It may decrease the rate of THC clearance from the body, perhaps by interfering with the metabolism of THC in the liver . Medically, it has been shown to relieve convulsion , inflammation , anxiety , and nausea , as well as inhibit cancer cell growth.

Fred Gardner: Cannabidiol Now!
Two plants strains relatively rich in cannabidiol (CBD) have been identified by an analytic test lab recently established to serve the medical cannabis industry in California. That’s two major stories in one sentence. Let’s take it from the bottom… In December a lab in the East Bay started testing samples of cannabis for pathogenic mold and the presence of three cannabinoids –THC, CBD and CBN (cannabinol). THC is the main psychoactive compound in the cannabis plant. CBD is a cannabinoid with intriguing medical potential that gets bred out of cannabis when the breeder’s goal is high THC content (as it has been in California for generations).
