Without sufficient high-quality evidence in human studies, we can’t pinpoint effective doses, and because CBD currently is typically available as an unregulated supplement, it’s hard to know exactly what you are getting.
Key Messages:
- CBD and THC are cousins but serve vastly different purposes. CBD is not intoxicating. Marijuana contains THC and is psychoactive. Legally, CBD products can only contain .03% THC.
- If you decide to try CBD, talk with your doctor to make sure that it won’t affect any other medicines you take.
- In numerous studies, CBD was able to reduce or stop seizures. Epidiolex, which contains CBD, is the first cannabis-derived medicine approved by the FDA.
- Buyer beware, since CBD is not regulated so purchase from a reputable source and request a certificate of analysis.
- According to a report from the World Health Organization, "In humans, CBD exhibits no effects indicative of any abuse or dependence potential” and is considered safe.
- CBD is a plant that contains over 100 ingredients including health promoting terpines, cannabinoids, hemp, flavonoids and more.
