Cannabidiol, or CBD, is the second most common active component in marijuana (marijuana). While CBD is a crucial component of medicinal marijuana, it is either produced in a lab or is taken straight from the hemp plant, a relative of the marijuana plant. CBD, one of marijuana's many ingredients, does not by itself produce a "high." A World Health Organization report claims that "CBD doesn't have any impacts on people that would suggest abuse or dependence. There is currently no proof that using pure CBD causes any issues with public health."
The best scientific evidence supports the use of CBD for treating some of the cruelest childhood epileptic syndromes, such as Dravet syndrome and Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS), which often don't react to anti-seizure drugs. CBD has been promoted for a wide range of health conditions. Numerous studies have shown that CBD can both lessen and, in some circumstances, completely halt seizures. The first cannabis-derived medication approved by the FDA for these diseases is Epidiolex, which contains CBD.
