Maybe it is just me but the article states in its opening paragraph that CBD has an affinity for both CB1 and CB2 receptors, with greater affinity for CB2 receptors. Then further down in the pharmacology section, it says that CBD has no affinity for CB receptors and acts as an antagonist of cannabinoid agonists...??? That makes no sense. Not only is it contradictory but if something is an antagonist then it is still "acting" on a receptor (so affinity exists) -- and the fact that it would be antagonizing a cannabinoid agonist (i.e. THC, anandamide) makes absolutely no sense either since CBD is known to enhance THC effects.
The more likely scenario here is mentioned in the article -- CBD and THC both compete for the same CYT P450 liver enzyme and therefore CBD concentration affects THC clearance. Since I don't know enough about CBD pharmacology to delete one or the other with 100% certainty, need someone to take a look at this who does.

I have removed the following text from the article. Cacycle 09:18, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
Cannabidiol has exhibited antipsychotic effects in recent studies. If CBD has an antipsychotic effect, how can it not be considered psychoactive? -- Thoric 22:01, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
it only exhibits it's antipsychotic effect when THC is present so it is not pshchoactive on it's own. ( 82.47.164.103 05:30, 11 October 2007 (UTC))
I was popping in just to say the same thing. The article currently reads: "Medically, it appears to relieve convulsion, inflammation, anxiety, and nausea, and to inhibit cancer cell growth[5]. Recent studies have shown cannabidiol to be as effective as atypical antipsychotics in treating schizophrenia.[6]" If the drug reduced anxiety and is an effective antipsychotic, then it is indeed a psychoactive drug. It may not have any use as a recreational substance, a euphoriant, or a psychedelic, but the word is compeltely incorrect. I suggest we change the wording to something saying that it isn't responsible for most of Cannabis's effects, that it doesn't have the effects d9-THC does, that it is not a recreational drug, doesn't cause abuse, etc. Some of these are better than others, obviously, but an unverified induction is better than an something that is completely incorrect, and that evidence to support that is producible. Since there hasn't been discussion on this for a while, I'm just going to strike that part, because I think the rest of the article gives deatils enough to make sense until a decision can be made. -- Revaaron ( talk) 17:41, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
Hi, I see you discussing the term psychoactive, and I think if you also used the term psychotropic you would be able to distinguish between general effects on the psyche (psychoactive - ie. depressant, elevator) and more specific delusional/high effects (psychotropic - ie. insert stoner skit here).

I thought it was cannabis indica not sativa that had the most cannabidiols. JHJPDJKDKHI! 15:37, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
me too, more cbd than thc in indica and the other way around in satvia. indica makes you 'stoned' and satvia makes you 'high' thats what i thought
That's actually exactly what it says. "Cannabis indica dominant strains of the plant are known to be higher in CBD than Cannabis sativa strains." Just to point that out.
The section titled "Natural Occurrence," discussing the ratio of CBD to THC in indica vs. sativa, is interesting, but badly written and basically impossible to understand 15:36, 19 March 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.219.39.17 ( talk)
To determine whether CBD is scheduled, you need to look at the official schedule of controlled substances is available in 21 U.S.C. Sec. 812, Schedule 1. Regulation of marijuana and other cannabindoids is governed under Schedule 1(c)(10), (17), which list "Marihuana" and "Tetrahydrocannabinols" respectively. "Cannabinoids" generally and "cannabidiol" specifically are not listed. "Tetrahydrocannabinols" are distinct from cannabidiol, which has a different chemical structure. Schedule 1(d) lists "cannabimimetic agents" that will constitute controlled substances, and then goes on to define those substances, but I do not have a scientific background and so cannot determine whether CBD falls within such limits. Here is the text of section (d):
"(d)(1) Unless specifically exempted or unless listed in another schedule, any material, compound, mixture, or preparation which contains any quantity of cannabimimetic agents, or which contains their salts, isomers, and salts of isomers whenever the existence of such salts, isomers, and salts of isomers is possible within the specific chemical designation.
(2) In paragraph (1):
(A) The term "cannabimimetic agents" means any substance that is a cannabinoid receptor type 1 (CB1 receptor) agonist as demonstrated by binding studies and functional assays within any of the following structural classes:
(i) 2-(3-hydroxycyclohexyl)phenol with substitution at the 5-position of the phenolic ring by alkyl or alkenyl, whether or not substituted on the cyclohexyl ring to any extent.
(ii) 3-(1-naphthoyl)indole or 3-(1-naphthylmethane)indole by substitution at the nitrogen atom of the indole ring, whether or not further substituted on the indole ring to any extent, whether or not substituted on the naphthoyl or naphthyl ring to any extent.
(iii) 3-(1-naphthoyl)pyrrole by substitution at the nitrogen atom of the pyrrole ring, whether or not further substituted in the pyrrole ring to any extent, whether or not substituted on the naphthoyl ring to any extent.
(iv) 1-(1-naphthylmethylene)indene by substitution of the 3-position of the indene ring, whether or not further substituted in the indene ring to any extent, whether or not substituted on the naphthyl ring to any extent.
(v) 3-phenylacetylindole or 3-benzoylindole by substitution at the nitrogen atom of the indole ring, whether or not further substituted in the indole ring to any extent, whether or not substituted on the phenyl ring to any extent.
(B) Such term includes- (i) 5-(1,1-dimethylheptyl)-2-[(1R,3S)-3-hydroxycyclohexyl]-phenol (CP–47,497); (ii) 5-(1,1-dimethyloctyl)-2-[(1R,3S)-3-hydroxycyclohexyl]-phenol (cannabicyclohexanol or CP–47,497 C8-homolog); (iii) 1-pentyl-3-(1-naphthoyl)indole (JWH–018 and AM678); (iv) 1-butyl-3-(1-naphthoyl)indole (JWH–073); (v) 1-hexyl-3-(1-naphthoyl)indole (JWH–019); (vi) 1-[2-(4-morpholinyl)ethyl]-3-(1-naphthoyl)indole (JWH–200); (vii) 1-pentyl-3-(2-methoxyphenylacetyl)indole (JWH–250); (viii) 1-pentyl-3-[1-(4-methoxynaphthoyl)]indole (JWH–081); (ix) 1-pentyl-3-(4-methyl-1-naphthoyl)indole (JWH–122); (x) 1-pentyl-3-(4-chloro-1-naphthoyl)indole (JWH–398); (xi) 1-(5-fluoropentyl)-3-(1-naphthoyl)indole (AM2201); (xii) 1-(5-fluoropentyl)-3-(2-iodobenzoyl)indole (AM694); (xiii) 1-pentyl-3-[(4-methoxy)-benzoyl]indole (SR–19 and RCS–4); (xiv) 1-cyclohexylethyl-3-(2-methoxyphenylacetyl)indole (SR–18 and RCS–8); and (xv) 1-pentyl-3-(2-chlorophenylacetyl)indole (JWH–203)."
CBD is forbidden in any form (pure or from a plant) in the USA. Cannabidiol and all other phytocannabinoids are Schedule I drugs in the USA. The code number for cannabidiol in Schedule I is 7372. It is not psychoactive, but it is illegal in the eyes of the federal government. You may find it listed under Schedule I where it says tetrahydrocannabinols. The part saying "and others" includes all phytocannabinoids, even CBD. 71.33.139.8 ( talk) 02:33, 7 April 2014 (UTC)"
Is it unscheduled in the US or is it a CI (Schedule I substance) ? On this wiki page it doesn't say anything, but I have seen Cannabidiol listed as Schedule I just can't remember where, CBD isn't listed on
http://www.cnsm.csulb.edu/services/safety/druglist.htm but that site may be outdated. So i'm confused, any help?
also this is the most updated GOVERNMENT site listing all scheduled drugs and i dont see CBD listed http://www.access.gpo.gov/nara/cfr/waisidx_01/21cfr1308_01.html
I do not believe this is a US scheduled substance. So the Legal Status in the template needs to be changed, and the OR hypothesis currently in the article as to why it is schedule I should be removed. I looked up the citation for its supposed scheduled status and found no evidence for this being schedule I (US). In fact, the Legal Status of many of the narcotics on Wikipedia are wrong. The problem might stem from Canada (CDSA) also using a schedule system. While almost all of the compounds are the same in both laws the scheduling is different. In conclusion, Cannabidiol is a CDSA schedule II, and is non-controlled in the US. I am removing the OR. 66.166.38.18 ( talk) 16:09, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
As it is an extract of marijuana cannabadiol is illegal in the United States. See this link to a chemical company outlining that Cannabidiol is Schedule I in the United States. http://www.biocompare.com/ProductDetails/187599/Cannabidiol-%28DEA-Schedule-I-Regulated-Compound%29.html Fireemblem555 ( talk) 00:43, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
Sorry, just because some random chemical company says Cannabidiol is Schedule 1 doesn't mean that it is. First of all, the CSA makes no mention of Cannabidiol whatsoever.
the "extracts" from marijuana that it is referring to are the tetrahydrocannabinol group of cannabinoids, that's why it calls it "resin."
does not include the mature stalks of such plant, fiber produced from such stalks, oil or cake made from the seeds of such plant, any other compound, manufacture, salt, derivative, mixture, or preparation of such mature stalks (except the resin extracted therefrom)' [1]
Unlike THC, CBD is found in large concentrations in hemp stalks and seed oil.
[2] Not saying this in a mean way, but by your logic, chlorophyll and water would be Schedule 1. Next time, please consult an actual list of scheduled compounds. Bayhemp ( talk) 03:47, 12 September 2010 (UTC)
Also if you look into the CPS under Sativex it says that both THC and CBD are scheduled. Fireemblem555 ( talk) 04:29, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
Sativex (which contains cannabidiol) is a Schedule 2 drug in Canada. Just wanted to clarify what you're saying there. Bayhemp ( talk) 03:52, 12 September 2010 (UTC)
This section of the article is confusing, as it states that Cannabidiol is a Schedule I controlled substance and even gives a index number. However, according to the Controlled Substances Act, in order for a drug to be in Schedule I, it must fit all three of the following criteria a) a high potential for abuse b) no medical use and c) lack of safety for using the drug under medical supervision. To the best of my knowledge, no cannabinoids, including cannabidiol, have ever been shown to be habit forming, which nullifies criteria A. This article lists a myriad of medical uses for cannabidiol, nullifying criteria B. This article also mentions that Sativex is a prescription drug, thereby making it not lack safety for using the drug under medical supervision, nullifying criteria C. Therefore, it seems cannabidiol meets NONE of the criteria for Schedule I whatsoever. Is it possible that there is a mixup, as cannabidiol does meet the definitions for a List I precursor, but not a Schedule I drug? If the drug is truely a Schedule I can someone please expand on the legal section to explain the discrepancies and contradictions between this article and the definitions of Schedule I in the CSA? Thanks!! Otherwise, great article! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.218.178.56 ( talk) 07:04, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
I removed any reference to cannabidiol being schedule I in the US. From looking through the DEA list of scheduled substances, it isn't in any way clear that CBD is either "cannabis" or "marihuana." Hempseeds, hemp protein, etc. are all derived from hemp, but aren't themselves illegal, so the DEA has clearly taken the position that products derived from hemp aren't "cannabis" or "marihuana" and I think it's a stretch to say that the "and others" in "Tetrahydrocannabinols: THC, Delta-8 THC, Delta-9 THC, dronabinol and others" would naturally refer to something that isn't a tetrahydocannabinol at all. Without some sort of interpretive notice from the DEA, I think it would make sense to err on the side that says "hemp products are legal; THCs are illegal; CBD isn't a THC, but is derived from hemp; therefore CBD, like other hemp products, is legal." However, since we don't want to necessarily tell people something is legal when it might not be, I think it's best to be silent on the issue or state something noncommittal on the subject. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.129.243.236 ( talk) 19:38, 14 April 2012 (UTC)

When it comes to issues of the CSA, especially Schedule 1 and the draconian penalties and prison associated with those violations, it would be foolish and irresponsible to assert to the naive public that CBD is legal, or the CBD isn't illegal, without a clear opinion letter from the DEA or US DOJ, or from a competent law firm willing to put their name and law license on the line should it turn out to be incorrect.
Anything less is playing with the same legal fires that "spice" "bath salts" and "herbal incense" dealers risk via their games of chemical frogger from one analogue to the next.
For instance, Colorado defines "cannabinoid" as any substance that binds to CB1 or CB2 receptors in the human body, and outlaws all synthetics, and requires difficult licensing via their marijuana enforcement division for naturally derived extracts.
Your legal "wishful thinking" is not a safe and sane factual basis for a public encyclopedia, where real lives are at risk if your unqualified legal opinion turns out to be dead wrong.
Err on the side of legal safety.
Hope that helps.
>>> EXACTLY! ... don't try to bluff a gullible public with the best wishes of the authors or CBD proponents. Until a licensed Law Firm -- or the US DOJ -- is willing to unequivocally declare that CBD from "hemp", or any source, is legal and exempt from the CSA, it would be HIGHLY IRRESPONSIBLE for unqualified non-lawyers to declare otherwise. <<< 71.33.139.8 ( talk) 02:33, 7 April 2014 (UTC)

Ligresti et al suggest that "cannabidiol exerts its effects on [cancer] cells through a combination of mechanisms that include either direct or indirect activation of CB2 and TRPV1 receptors, and induction of oxidative stress, all contributing to induce apoptosis." (emphasis added) - yet Thomas et al show cannabidiol to be a CB2 inverse agonist mouse whole-brain or CHO cell membranes. Ligresti et al's reasoning is that cannabidiol inhibits anandamide inactivation, thus "indirectly activating" CB1/CB2, but I would think the receptor-independent inverse agonist effect would largely negate any action this might have; indeed, they found that "pure agonists" were less effective than CBD, which doesn't seem consistent with an eCB mechanism.

Regarding this topic,
the following paper seems to give a good summary of several studies which have looked into this. I have access to it but can't post speciically what I'm referring to due to copyright. I will however try and update the article with the research in due course.
And in response to what I removed in my last edit, would you consider the removed content a fair summary of the conclusions of the paper cited below?
"In conclusion, results from pre-clinical and clinical studies suggest that CBD is an effective, safe and well-tolerated alternative treatment for schizophrenic patients. Future trials of this cannabinoid in other psychotic conditions such as bipolar disorder (50) and comparative studies of its antipsychotic effects with those produced by clozapine in schizophrenic patients are clearly needed.
I must mention the conclusion of the paper I inititally referred to above. It talks of the endocannabinoid system as being very important in the development of schizophrenia.
In conclusion, the endogenous cannabinoid system seems to be critically involved in the pathogenesis of schizophrenic disorders, and both CBD and SR141716 provide pharmacological characteristics that are reminiscent of those of atypical antipsychotics. To date, it is not clear if the antipsychotic effects are mediated by the direct influence of cannabinoids on the endogenous cannabinoid system or through the secondary modulation of dopaminergic or glutamatergic systems. However, CB1 receptor antagonists seem to be promising candidates for novel approaches in the treatment of schizophrenic disorders. Further investigation is needed to elucidate the exact mechanisms of cannabinoid action concerning their influence on the endogenous cannabinoid system and concerning their potential antipsychotic effects."

A recent edit to Cannabidiol copy/pasted the paragraph from [ this] page into the article. I reverted this edit because of plagiarism, but I think we do need to have a discussion here about what information the article should provide on the anti-psychotic question of CBD.
I have read the [ article] that is used to support the information about CBD as a treatment for schizophrenia in our Cannabidiol article (which User:Supposed also cited in the first block of quoted text above). In that article, they discussed two human studies: one was a single case study, the other included 3 patients of whom one had "partial improvement" and the other two had no improvement. Both of these human studies were researched by the same scientist who wrote the review article (AW Zuardi). I do not think that these two small studies (together, the instances of 4 patients) carry enough weight to support the statement made in our Cannabidiol article:
Recent studies have shown cannabidiol to be as effective as atypical antipsychotics in treating schizophrenia
I am not denying that CBD may have anti-psychotic properties, I am simply being cautious against making claims in the article that have limited support and may be damaging. To make the claim that CBD (a substance found in marijuana) may be an anti-schizophrenic treatment might cause a person to smoke marijuana for treatment/prevention or recommend others to do so. This is dangerous because there is also research to suggest that smoking marijuana might be a contributing factor in the development of schizophrenia and other mental illnesses.

S39-02 Antipsychotic effects of cannabidiol
Purchase the full-text article Background
In contrast to delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, the phytocannabinoid cannabidiol does not exert psychotomimetic effects. Cannabidiol was suggested a re-uptake inhibitor of anandamide and potential antipsychotic properties have been hypothesized for it. We therefore performed a clinical trial to investigate thesis hypothesis and to clarify the underlying link to the neurobiology of schizophrenia.
Methods
We performed an explorative, 4-week, double-blind, controlled clinical trial on the effects of purified cannabidiol in acute schizophrenia compared to the antipsychotic amisulpride. The antipsychotic properties of both drugs were the primary target of the study. Furthermore, side-effects and anxiolytic capabilities of both treatments were investigated.
Results 42 patients fulfilling DSM-IV criteria of acute paranoid schizophrenia participated in the study. Both treatments were associated with a significant decrease of psychotic symptoms after 2 and 4 weeks as assessed by BPRS and PANSS. However, there was no statistical difference between both treatment groups. In contrast, cannabidiol induced significantly less side effects (EPS, increase in prolactin, weight gain) when compared to amisulpride.
Conclusions
Cannabidiol revealed substantial antipsychotic properties in acute schizophrenia. This is in line with our suggestion of an adaptive role of the endocannabinoid system in paranoid schizophrenia, and raises further evidence that this adaptive mechanism may represent a valuable target for antipsychotic treatment strategies.
The Stanley Medical Research Institute (00-093 to FML) and the Koeln Fortune Program (107/2000 + 101/2001 to FML) funded this study.
In regards to your concerns that people may use cannabis for relief from the symptoms of schizophrenia, I do not deny that may happen. However it is not the job of wikipedia to prevent people from taking drugs, rather it's our job to try and be as factually accurate as possible.It's equally likely that people reading the Effects of Cannabis page will notice the link selfmedicating hypothesis on that page and use cannabis to treat their schizophrenia, this does not mean we shoudl remove that hypothesis from that page. The only case in which it would be appropriate to place information regarding THC on this page is if cannabis rather than CBD is being used as a treatment for schizophrenia. So if we can collate information regarding self medicating this may be possible. Of course it's also not the fault of wikipedia that there is no mechanism in place for users to know precisely how much THC, CBD or CBN is in their cannabis.

I didn't see this mentioned, but it seems important because of the mounting evidence and the prevalence of inflammatory bowel disease, which doesn't seem to have a particularly effective treatment, currently. I don't really know enough about it to take a good stab yet, but I wanted to record it here so someone else could. There is a decent amount of literature on the subject: http://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&q=colitis+cannabinoid From http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0009453 :
Anecdotal reports suggest that marijuana- or tetrahydrocannabinol-containing products may be effective in alleviating symptoms in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD). This is supported by recent studies of our group and others suggesting that pharmacological activation of the cannabinoid 1 (CB1) receptor with selective receptor agonists decreases the inflammatory response in various murine models of colonic inflammation [. . .] Interestingly, pharmacological blockade of CB1 receptors or genetic ablation of CB1 receptors (CNR1-/- mice) aggravates intestinal inflammation in these models, emphasizing the physiological relevance of the CB1 receptor in the protection against intestinal inflammation. Increased mucosal levels of the endocannabinoid anandamide during intestinal inflammation in humans further stress the role of the CB1 receptor and the endocannabinoid system in intestinal inflammation. Thus, present knowledge suggests up-regulation of endocannabinoids as an important protective mechanism in intestinal inflammation.

Basically, the EL section is a short list of advocacy organizations.
This article is about "one of at least 85 cannabinoids found in cannabis". The first link is to a site listing compounds found in one variety of pot. Many of the compounds listed have their own articles but do not include this link. The site is not about cannabidiol and provides no additional information about the compound. See WP:ELNO #1.
The second link is a site set up by two journalists to promote the use of cannabidiol. The journalists wrote for what they describe as a "journal", O'Shaughnessy's. Quite the prestigious journal, but not stuffy, they include such stringently peer-reviewed material as " Songs - Another side of us" and " Off Topic - A place where cannabis activists have been warned not to stray". (Journals ain't what they used to be, folks.) These "journalists'" musings are not MEDRS sources. Heck, they're barely journalists. Clearly not WP:ELYES or WP:ELMAYBE material. I'm 100% certain I can easily find hundreds of similar writers against medical marijuana who are similarly not qualified. If you believe this link belongs here, these links certainly belong in several articles.
The third link, azmarijuana, is not-quite an a-z guide on pot. Don't get me wrong, it has a lot of information about pot: Product reviews ("We review medical marijuana, edibles, vaporizers, bongs, pipes, and more!"), a forum and "Marijuana Events" ("Marijuana events throughout Arizona and the United States.") Curiously, unlike the mixed bag research I have seen on marijuana, the pot they are discussing cures everything with no downside whatsoever. Laws, though are a total bummer, dude. Way to harsh my mellow! Again, this site is neither specifically about the subject nor reliable. Again, we can just as easily flood the page with dubious sites telling us Reefer Madness horror stories. - SummerPhD ( talk) 21:12, 22 November 2013 (UTC)
"Compared with THC, cannabidiol is psychoactive"
What is this supposed to mean? Is the implication that THC is NOT psychoactive? --- Dagme ( talk) 21:19, 16 January 2014 (UTC)
An IP editor is repeatedly changing "Compared with THC, cannabidiol is psychoactive but not intoxicating, and is considered to have a wider scope..." to "Compared with THC, cannabidiol is not psychoactive, and is considered to have a wider scope...". The study cited clearly states, "cannabidiol (CBD) may exert sedative, hypnotic, anxiolytic, antidepressant, antipsychotic and anticonvulsant effects". As the study cited does not say cannabidol is not intoxicating, I have corrected this to read "Cannabidiol is psychoactive. Compared with THC, it is considered to have a wider scope...". As the IP editor has so far ignored talk requests (and changed IPs), I've given them an edit warring warning. If the problem continues, we can block them and/or protect the article as needed.

Exercisephys has reverted [6] an edit with the following edit summary: "the source does not mention adverse effects making them less than ideal (who would, compared to opioids?); your statements and wording seem pretty strongly biased to me". Leaving aside the need to WP:FOC, the source says:
Among patients with cancer pain given a single dose of placebo or THC 5, 10, 15, or 20 mg, analgesia was achieved only with THC at the higher 15- and 20-mg doses. ... The authors stated that 10 and 20 mg of oral THC were equivalent to 60 and 120 mg of codeine, respectively, for pain relief, but that the adverse effects of oral THC (somnolence, dizziness, ataxia, and blurred vision) may not make it an ideal medication for chronic cancer pain."
Furthermore the article states:
Although most trials indicate that medical cannabis produces mild to moderate adverse effects, one of the ongoing concerns about using medical cannabis is the unfavorable and somewhat variable adverse effect profile when used in different formulations as a medicinal product.

Yes, this magic stuff obviously cures cancer because someone on youtube said it did. [7] [8] [9] In the dark ages of medicine, we used to conduct double-blind clinical trials with large numbers of patients to try to remove "erroneous reports", "confirmation bias", the "placebo effect", "spontaneous remissions", "post hoc fallacies" and other such boogeymen as we used to believe occurred in medicine. Now that we have random people reporting their miracles on youtube, we know better.
Unfortunately, Wikipedia is still prosecuting a witch hunt against all of the magical cures of cancer in defense of the international conspiracy known as "evidence-based medicine". This nonsense is enshrined in WP:MEDRS, which remains the effective law of the land for this topic. Heck, this policy has also weakened our once-great article about coffee enemas and calf liver juice curing every ailment known to man. Heck, the article was supported by the murdered inventor's testimony from beyond the grave via radio to his grandson. For God's sake: What more evidence do you need?
Modern medicine is all caught up in this idea that cancer cures must be demonstrable and repeatable. Those of us in the real world know that needles jabbed in mysterious points of the body to regulate a mythical energy flow, foot massages, spinal manipulation, apricot pits, orgon energy, prayer, psychic surgery, smelling essential oils, sticking candles in your ears, running a weak electric current through a foot bath, rubbing magical cards, rubbing coins together, having someone touch you while not touching you, having someone manipulate The Force, manipulating or needling the foot --- I mean palm -- I mean ear or the patient, turning your skin permanently blue, flowers, doses of water that no longer contain poisons added to them, wishful thinking, suctioning hot cups on your skin and scraping the skin off your body with coins are all 100% effective cures for cancer (and thousands of other illnesses).
That said, we still need independent reliable sources consistent with our policy to tell the world of these miracles. - SummerPhD ( talk) 14:13, 28 June 2014 (UTC)

This is a copy of the section "cancer" as I found it. The American Cancer Society says: "There is no available scientific evidence from controlled studies in humans that cannabinoids can cure or treat cancer."[22] Laboratory experiments have been performed on the potential use of cannabinoids for cancer therapy but as of 2013 results have been contradictory and knowledge remains poor.[23] Cannabinoids have been recommended for cancer pain but the adverse effects may make them a less than ideal treatment; two cannabinoid-based medicines have been approved as a backup remedy for nausea associated with chemotherapy.[4]
What is said about adverse effects of cannabinoids should be removed, because it confuses the reader, and this article is about cannabidiol, and not cannabinoids.
For instance, THC, the psychoactive part, is a cannabinoid, but it is not part of cannabidiols.
Therefore I've added these lines: However what may be true in the concern of adverse effects for cannabinoids, it not likely to hold as for the special case of cannabidiol.
Also, even though it is true that there have not been sufficient experiments in human, there have been several experiments either in vitro, or on animal, the result of which can be found on the American medical database "Pubmed". Some of these experiments have shown inconclusive, but some have shown positive results.
The source where anybody can seek confirmation, viz. "pubmed", is not to be discussed.
My conclusion is that this article is strongly influence by POV of people which are against.
A look at "pubmed" + "cannabidiol" should help to show there is no trickery there.
Yet another point: it's true that it has anti-cancer properties. However none of the article have said that it would be enough... Also it is said, that even though cannabidiols (plural, and also several times it is said "plant extract", viz. cannabidiol is a family of molecules and they have been taken in plant instead of having being synthesize)... Even though cannabidiol has anti-cancer properties, THC also have anti-cancer properties, which are due to different mechanisms. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.198.107.203 ( talk) 17:03, 5 July 2014 (UTC)

The Parkinson's disease sub-topic states that "It has been proposed that CBD may help people with Parkinson's disease, but promising results in animal experiments were not confirmed when CBD was trialled in humans" and cites Iuvone et al.
The article cited claims that "Early human reports showed a dose-related improvement (ranging from 20 to 50%) in parkinsonian patients treated with oral doses of CBD (100–600 mg/day over a 6-week period)" using Consroe et al. as its source for this information.
However, Consroe et al. state that CBD "[...] was given to 5 patients with dystonic movement disorders in a preliminary open pilot study. Oral doses of CBD rising from 100 to 600 mg/day over a 6 week period were administered along with standard medication. Dose-related improvement in dystonia was observed in all patients and ranged from 20 to 50%".
Consroe et al. go on further, saying that "[...] 2 patients with coexisting Parkinsonian features, CBD at doses over 300 mg/day exacerbated the hypokinesia and resting tremor. CBD appears to have antidystonic and Parkinsonism-aggravating effects in humans".
Exacerbated: to make (a problem, bad situation, or negative feeling) worse. Synonyms: aggravate, worsen.
Iuvone et al. misinterpreted Consroe et al. because Consroe et al. claim that CBD worsened Parkinsonian features, while Iuvone et al., who cite Consroe et al. for this information, say that there was a dose-related improvement in Parkinsonian patients. This is a contradiction.
So, the statement "It has been proposed that CBD may help people with Parkinson's disease" is false because Consroe et al. show that CBD aggravated Parkinsonian features.
Also, the statement "results in animal experiments were not confirmed when CBD was trialled in humans" is false even if we assume that Iuvone et al. was correctly citing Consroe et al. If Iuvone et al. was correct, then results in animal experiments were confirmed when trialled in humans to be good, but we know this is incorrect by Consroe et al.. But, then again, it was NOT proposed that CBD may help people with Parkinson's - Consroe et al. suggest that it will make symptoms worse.
I have also e-mailed Professor Iuvone about this misinterpretation. Any article used on the CBD wiki page that cites Iuvone et al. needs to be proof read to ensure that the information regarding the Consroe et al. study is accurate and agrees with Consroe et al.
This is why I deleted the Parkinson's disease sub-topic. It is completely misleading.

A while back there was a sub-topic about multiple sclerosis and Sativex that was removed. If there was not a secondary source that acted as a thorough review for the research regarding MS and CBD, I suggest you view this article by Kogan and Mechoulam:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3202504/
My post was directly quoted from the article:
The CBD/THC buccal spray (Sativex) was found to be effective in treating neuropathic pain in multiple sclerosis (MS). A mixture of 2.5 mg THC and 0.9 mg cannabidiol (CBD) lowered spasm frequency and increased mobility, with tolerable side effects, in MS patients with persistent spasticity not responding to other drugs. Oromucosal sprays of Sativex significantly reduced spasticity scores in comparison with placebo. Long-term use of Sativex maintains its effect in those patients who perceive initial benefit. Zajicek et al originally reported that cannabinoids did not have a beneficial effect on spasticity; however, there was an objective improvement in mobility and some patients reported an improvement in pain. Later the same group also found positive effects on muscle spasticity with prolonged treatment. The subject has been thoroughly reviewed.

There is no searchable records on NIH of KannaSciences. I smell this is simply some proxy promotion from them. Their Kannaway company is also an MLM pyramid scheme and they also posted it in this article (which I've removed due to promotional content). I know Kannaway is abhorred in the cannabinoid scene and known to be a scam.
Does anyone have any actual references from NIH stating that they're working with KannaSciences or have any agreements with them as per this Wikipedia article? They're simply pointing to a PR of theirs (KannaScieces) as proof and any Google search only returns paid promotional sites. No hint of KannaSciencies associated with NIH, not even under Google scholar or Pubmed.
I am highly skeptic of this, especially since it uses the MLM model to commercialize it's products. Please suggest any actual serious references (if any).

In the section Industrial hemp, this sentence appears:
"Worldwide hemp production is around 30,000 tonnes per year."
But the word "hemp" when referring to a plant has two distinct meanings: One is any cannabis plant; the other is the kind that is used in industry, that has little or no psychotropic effects at all.
The fact that this section is titled "Industrial hemp" does not mean that the word hemp by itself is suddenly unambiguous. So if a statement is made about the "hemp" plant, even inside this section it needs to be disambiguated.
But wait! Maybe whoever wrote that sentence meant yet another meaning: The plant material that is extracted from the industrical hemp plant for industrial use, such as making fabric. So even that third meaning is a possibility for the quoted sentence.
This is a mess, but I do not know much about this subject. Someone who is knowledgeable tin this subject will have to fix this. Daqu ( talk) 20:33, 9 August 2015 (UTC)
I'd like to add some fresh research on cannabidiol for Graft-versus-Host Disease [11], but its not advanced enough to quality as a medical indication and I don't want to clutter up the 'Clinical applications' section with every new finding. The [Cannabis (drug)] page has a 'Medical uses' section and a dedicated 'research' section for newer reports.
I think this article should change 'Clinical applications' to 'Medical Uses' and move topics with incomplete evidence to its own section.

I've replaced the original research and final sentence that gives a legal opinion of the legality in the US via a tortured argumentum ad nauseum with current research as a drug in Davet Syndrome. If it's been granted orphan status and approved for testing, it's obviously legal in the US. I'm including the excised section here for archival or other, more skilled editors usage.
This section possibly contains
original research. (November 2015) |
The legal status of Cannabidiol in the United States at the federal level is not immediately clear. The Controlled Substances Act (CSA) does not specifically list cannabidiol in Schedule I [1] nor in any of the other schedules, [2] However, public statements by the Drug Enforcement Administration have long represented cannabidiol as Schedule I. [3] [4]
The drug Schedules list " Tetrahydrocannabinols" and " marijuana" both as Schedule I drugs under the Controlled Substances Act, [1] cannabidiol is not considered as a Schedule I drug on the basis of being covered by the listing of "Marihuana" or by the listing of "Tetrahydrocannabinols" under Schedule I of the CSA. Under current legislation, Cannabidiol as a singular substance does not fall under the criteria set forth under these guidelines, and is currently regarded as GRAS, or "Generally Regarded As Safe" by default.
Unless specifically excepted or unless listed in another schedule, any material, compound, mixture, or preparation, which contains any quantity of the following hallucinogenic substances, or which contains any of its salts, isomers, and salts of isomers whenever the existence of such salts, isomers, and salts of isomers is possible within the specific chemical designation (for purposes of this paragraph only, the term "isomer" includes the optical, position and geometric isomers):
- (31) Tetrahydrocannabinols (DEA Drug Code: 7370)
- Meaning tetrahydrocannabinols naturally contained in a plant of the genus Cannabis (cannabis plant), as well as synthetic equivalents of the substances contained in the cannabis plant, or in the resinous extractives of such plant, and/or synthetic substances, derivatives, and their isomers with similar chemical structure and pharmacological activity to those substances contained in the plant, such as the following:
- 1 cis or trans tetrahydrocannabinol, and their optical isomers
- 6 cis or trans tetrahydrocannabinol, and their optical isomers
- 3,4 cis or trans tetrahydrocannabinol, and its optical isomers
- (Since nomenclature of these substances is not internationally standardized, compounds of these structures, regardless of numerical designation of atomic positions covered.)
Since cannabidiol is chemically not a tetrahydrocannabinol (nor indeed a " cannabinol" of any kind) and cannabidiol has a DEA Drug Code of 7372 (distinct from Tetrahydrocannabinols' designated Drug Code of 7370), [7] it stands to reason that cannabidiol is not considered one of the drugs placed into Schedule I under the listing of "Tetrahydrocannabinols" in the CSA.
Furthermore, cannabidiol was not placed into Schedule I when The Controlled Substances Act was amended in July 2012 with the US Congress' passing of the Synthetic Drug Abuse Prevention Act of 2012 (SDAPA) (which came into effect on January 4, 2013 [8]) [9] to ban various cannabinoids, cathinones, and phenethylamines. [1] The part adding to Schedule I various "cannabimimetic agents" which include molecules more closely resembling so-called "classically" structured cannabinoids reads as follows:
(d)
(1) Unless specifically exempted or unless listed in another schedule, any material, compound, mixture, or preparation which contains any quantity of cannabimimetic agents, or which contains their salts, isomers, and salts of isomers whenever the existence of such salts, isomers, and salts of isomers is possible within the specific chemical designation.
- (2) In paragraph (1):
- (A) The term "cannabimimetic agents" means any substance that is a cannabinoid receptor type 1 (CB1 receptor) agonist as demonstrated by binding studies and functional assays within any of the following structural classes:
- (i) 2-(3-hydroxycyclohexyl)phenol with substitution at the 5-position of the phenolic ring by alkyl or alkenyl, whether or not substituted on the cyclohexyl ring to any extent.
Cannabidiol, while being a more "classically structured" cannabinoid (not like the much more recently discovered cannabinoid receport agonists with indole rings such as many of the JWH- and AM- named series), was not on the list of specifically newly banned cannabinoids (even among those with a more so-called "classic structure"), [1] [8] and it does not fall into the category of unlisted cannabinoids which are caught by the definition above for several reasons. Primarily, CBD is not a CB1 agonist; it is a CB1 antagonist. [10] [11] Also, unlike CP 47,497's homologues and similar synthetic "classical structured cannabinoids" which the above definition was written carefully to include, the cannabidiol molecule has a cyclohexene ring where the amended law requires a cyclohexane ring, and further cannabidiol does not have the required 3- hydroxyl moiety bonded to its cyclohexenyl functional group where the law requires a hydroxyl moiety bonded to the 3- position of a cyclohexyl functional group.
Extracts and concentrates of hemp products which are high in cannabidiol content are very likely legal under US federal law as long as they meet certain requirements. Marihuana is defined by 21 U.S.C. §802(16), which is part of the Controlled Substances Act, and it has a DEA Number / Drug Code of 7360. Exempted from regulation under the definition of marihana is "the mature stalks of such plant, fiber produced from such stalks, oil or cake made from the seeds of such plant, any other compound, manufacture, salt, derivative, mixture, or preparation of such mature stalks (except the resin extracted therefrom), fiber, oil, or cake, or the sterilized seed of any such plant which is incapable of germination." [5] [12] [13] Under this exception, what are known as industrial hemp-finished products are legally imported into the United States each year. [14] Hemp finished products, including hemp oil and extracts of hemp products which are high in cannabidiol, are legal in the United States for this reason.

This seems old (2008):
"While one would assume that this would cause cannabidiol to reduce the effects of THC, it may potentiate THC's effects by increasing CB1 receptor density or through another CB1-related mechanism." [1]
This is newer (2012):
CBD is shown to reduce the impairment caused by THC-induced euphoria in human study volunteers (performing work-flow tasks). CBD inhibits anxiety and psychotic-like symptoms (such as disconnected thoughts, perceptual disturbance, depersonalization and resistance to communication) induced by THC. [2]
I thought WP doesn't accept blogs (although this one is pretty darn good...:

I have removed the following boiling point information from the infobox: "180 °C<br />(range: 160–180 °C)<ref>{{cite journal |vauthors=McPartland JM, Russo EB |year=2001|title=Cannabis and cannabis extracts: greater than the sum of their parts? |journal=Journal of Cannabis Therapeutics |volume=1|issue=3/4 |pages=103–132 |doi=10.1300/J175v01n03_08 |url=http://www.cannabis-med.org/data/pdf/2001-03-04-7.pdf}}</ref>". This value seems way too low for a chemical compound of the molecular weight of cannabidiol and the source doesn't appear to be very authoritative. A typical predicted value can be found at ChemSpider which lists 463.9±45.0 °C at 760 mmHg. Maybe the 180 °C value is at reduced pressure? In any case, a reliable source for an experimentally determined value is needed. -- Ed ( Edgar181) 18:17, 18 April 2017 (UTC)
Hi, i'm Tara Shive I need your Approval for add Content in your Page, it is related to CBD Oil (Cannabidiol) and its effects on the body. Thanks Tarashive ( talk) 06:08, 4 July 2017 (UTC)
Tittle or Heading: Vaping CBD Oil
Content: Did you know that your body produces its own cannabinoids similar to CBD and THC? The bodies cannabinoids are a part of a system that acts as the “master control system” of the body. That same system is designed to work with Cannabidiol CBD The endogenous cannabinoid system, or endocannabinoid system (ECS), is a recently discovered system of naturally occurring cannabinoids and cannabinoid receptor sites throughout your entire body!
There are two receptors that make up the endocannabinoid system: CB1 and CB2 receptors. CB1 receptors are found mostly in the nervous system, connective tissues, gonads, glands, and organs. CB2 receptors are primarily found in the immune system and the structures associated with healthy immune functioning. Unlike THC, which overstimulates the CB1 and CB2 receptors directly, CBD signals the body’s natural endogenous cannabinoids to activate those receptors to do more of what they do naturally.
With these cannabinoid receptor sites spread throughout our entire bodies, you can only imagine the importance of having these receptors working properly in order to keep this important internal system functioning to protect you. It is through this powerful system that CBD can do its magic, but we cannot make any medical claims. We once again encourage you to do your own research with the information we have provided.
Ultimately, the job of the endocannabinoid system is to promote homeostasis, the maintenance of a stable internal environment despite fluctuations in the external environment.

The number of different possible uses outlined in academic studies for cannabidiol far exceeds epilepsy and psychosis: ADHD, drug addiction (nicotine, marijuana, alcohol, etc), diabetes, PTSD, insomnia, depression, ischaemia, Parkinson's disease, cancer, etcetera. For this reason, I have for the time being deleted the very short one-sentence segment on psychosis as a use case for cannabidiol until a more comprehensive list of possible uses has been put forth. The amount of content in this (now deleted) "psychosis" segment does not justify its own section. I propose an "Other Possible Uses" (or similarly worded) segment, and will work on a first draft for this once I find the time to organize the research, unless someone beats me to it, in which I'd be happy to enrich said additions if necessary.
No reason to stigmatize this compound, it has an enormous amount of potential for many use cases. Ddd1600 ( talk) 06:43, 11 September 2017 (UTC)
That is perfectly fine with me, but before I ever edited anything there were several claims already that were not reflective of body of research that has been done as is. If we want to go ahead and remove all possible medical uses, I'd be OK with that too, but if not, the full body of research should be reflected, not just some handpicked set of conditions out of a sea of (mostly inconclusive) research that has been done.

The current sidebar states that it's Schedule I in the US. However, the main legal section Cannabidiol#U.S. seems to imply that it's legal and unregulated.

It actually IS legal in the US- while the DEA has a code for CBD- meaning that the DEA recognizes it as being a "Drug" it DOES NOT appear in the current official Schedule I listings, nor does it appear in any of the other official schedule listings per the DEA's own admissions via the DEA website. 71.91.178.54 ( talk) 20:58, 8 August 2018 (UTC)
Zefr, The legal status Has little to do to with whether or not it's "approved" or not- Something need not be "approved" by the FDA to be legal to posess. (Example- Caffeine is not an FDA approved drug, but there are no laws against possessing caffeine.) The FDA Doesn't regulate herbs and supplements, therefore will probably decline to exert it's authority at all with respect to Cannabidiol, because it would be classified as an herb or supplement by the FDA. Drug Approval is only a small part of the legal criterion required to make a substance a controlled substance under the DEA regulatory authority. Notably the federal courts have said that the DEA Has to meet ALL of the criterion required by the federal statute, not just ones relating to medical uses licensed by the FDA. The sources you mention are secondary sources as compared with the sources I have which are the official Controlled Susbstances Classifications as Published by the DEA, which is a primary source. Primary sources are to be considered to be more reliable than secondary sources. 71.91.178.54 ( talk) 21:42, 15 August 2018 (UTC)

The laws seem to change almost monthly. Lets try to give our readers something they can rely on, like the very slowly growing body of scientific information being accumulated on this molecule? Thanks.
The problem with that notion is that issues of legality are first just as notable and encyclopedic as points that are strictly of a scientific nature; especially with respect to U.S. law, since U.S. law has a tendency to profoundly shape the law in the rest of the world, especially with this kind of subject matter. Therefore, there is very little politicization of the issue- rather, there are issues of the correct interpretation of the information, and are therefore differing opinions on such. The problem with most of the scientific claims about CBD is that most of them are just that- nothing more than claims, because most of the studies aren't in a stage that passes peer review; hence they aren't considered by the scientific community to be reliable sources, yet alone sources that are reliable enough for an encyclopedia. Also, please don't forget to sign your posts on talk pages. (The first paragraph under this section heading appears to lack a signature.) Thanks. 71.91.178.54 ( talk) 07:19, 20 August 2018 (UTC)
Is the content on legal status worthy of being its own article? David notMD ( talk) 14:01, 25 August 2018 (UTC)
In my opinion, I would say probably not- given current Wikipedia Policy. This is because of the fact that legality is an essential attribute that people generally want to know about a substance, and that forming such disambiguated pages hasn't been the majority consensus thus far on Wikipedia. (Where the policy has generally been to avoid disambiguation pages where feasible.) Approaching things this way would be a broad policy statement, which would be most appropriately addressed under the tact of forming a new policy that should apply to all pages involving substances and herbs commonly treated as a "drug". Thus, it would require a tremendous amount of editing across Wikipedia in order for the content to be relatively consistent in nature. 71.91.178.54 ( talk) 00:14, 26 August 2018 (UTC)
Article content on health effects (benefits, adverse effects) should rest on citations that meet WP:MEDRS standards. This excludes in vitro and animal work, and individual human trials; includes reviews, systematic reviews, meta-analyses and governmental position papers. David notMD ( talk) 13:15, 12 April 2018 (UTC)
David, The problem with this is that we largely don't have much in terms of systemic research on CBD that is of a high enough quality to pass peer review. Therefore, most of the "governmental position papers" aren't scientifically reliable enough to meet the needs of encyclopedic content, because at this point they represent nothing more than governmental claims which have yet to be scientifically proven to any appreciable scientific standard. The fact is that about 95 percent or greater of the available information on CBD would constitute primary sources. Thus, I find WP:MEDRS to be extremely inappropriate for purposes of this article. 71.91.178.54 ( talk) 07:24, 20 August 2018 (UTC)
Zefr, the problem with your line of thinking is that at the end of the day, most of those references are primary sources- i.e. they link to the scientific papers themselves as published in a scientific journal. Secondary sources should be written in the second person, not the first person, as most of the links do here. Therefore, most of these links don't comply with WP:MEDRS by reason of being primary sources. 71.91.178.54 ( talk) 00:19, 26 August 2018 (UTC)
I came here to learn about the various sources that CBD can come from, but instead I got a short section on farming and some other unhelpful stuff.

The DEA has announced plans to reclassify CBD as Schedule V, effective tomorrow (September 28th, 2018).
It appears that the legal status on the sidebar has been updated already, but the section of the article for legal status in the United States has not yet been updated. It seems as though some significant re-wording is in order. I wonder if anybody is willing to discuss a better way to phrase this section in light of this change in U.S. legal status. Personally I think it would be worth leaving much of the current wording in place, but simply changing present tense to past tense, in order to explain the history as to why it was able to be sold despite its previous Schedule I status.

The only reference given for this flimsy "section" (it was literally one sentence) does not specifically mention the legal status of the compound cannabidiol, and for that matter, neither does the legislation. Additionally, as the law in Canada did not in fact legalize cannabis across the board (that is to say, it only removed criminal sanction for so-called "legal cannabis"; in other words, only that which is taxed and regulated by the government, despite the black market still dominating sales), that means that most of the cannabis (and thus, cannabidiol) in Canada remains illegal.

Hi, @ Zefr:, thank you for the correction. I see this paper was published in 2015 so I'm a bit confused. Is any of it of use to us? Do we normally reject the entire source because they refer to a study from the '70s? Thanks in advance. petrarchan47 คุ ก 05:19, 8 January 2019 (UTC)
Sativex, a 1:1 THC/CBD formulation, does not belong in this article. I removed its mention and source (as there is no effort to parse out effects of CBD from THC, and is therefore of no use to us). My edit was reverted by @ Smartse: with "don't follow your logic of this only discussing pure CBD and it is seems a bit silly to omit the first cannabis-based medicine."
The misunderstanding is that this isn't about "cannabis-based medicine" (which includes THC, like Sativex). You may be thinking of the "cannabinoid" article where its mention is warranted. This article is dedicated "pure CBD" medicine. It's easy to get them confused.
If this reasoning is accurate, would another editor please restore this version. If not, please explain why medicine including THC is relevant to this article. Thanks, petrarchan47 คุ ก 21:33, 28 November 2018 (UTC)
I've linked to this section at the Project Medicine talk page to get a few more opinions. petrarchan47 คุ ก 00:44, 29 November 2018 (UTC)
I've done some rearranging, implementing the idea to move Sativex to its own section. I removed the mention of individual effects, Smartse, because the source used was not about Sativex (see WP:SYNTH) and the details were too vague to be meaningful. Attenuating effects of CBD are dealt with already in the Pharmacology section. petrarchan47 คุ ก 08:54, 30 November 2018 (UTC)
I strongly agree with @Petrarchan47. Sativex is in no sense synonymous with CBD, far from it, and the differences are not to be toyed with. THC has significant known dangers whereas CBD doesn't:

Under the "Non-psychoactivity" section, I removed the following statement: "As the legal landscape and understanding about the differences in medical cannabinoids unfolds, it will be increasingly important to distinguish "medical marijuana" (with varying degrees of psychotropic effects and deficits in executive function) – from "medical CBD therapies” which would commonly present as having a reduced or non-psychoactive side-effect profile."
While it may appear to be simple content blanking of well-sourced material on my part, that was not my intention. Such speculative statements (i.e. it will be increasingly important...) must to be attributed in some way, perhaps to an expert in the field, or it reads as opinion.

This is a two-part question:
1) Should the following text be added to the CBD article?
2) If yes, should it be added to the Epilepsy or to the Research section?
Researchers compared the potential therapeutic properties of "purified CBD" with full-plant, CBD-rich cannabis extracts for treating refractory epilepsy. CBD-rich extracts were found to have a "better therapeutic potential" and fewer adverse effects than purified CBD. The daily average dose for people using full-plant extracts was more than four times lower than for those using purified CBD, indicating a possible synergistic ( entourage) effect between CBD and other plant compounds.

The article states "State and local governments may also regulate CBD. For example, the Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources issued a rule in June 2019 aligning state CBD regulations with FDA regulations." This would appear to most likely be incorrect, if the federal courts use the preemption doctrine given the U.S. constitution's interstate commerce and dormant commerce clauses, thus rendering such state laws unconstitutional on their face, though there aren't any cases yet which are completely on point. This is also certainly not true in the state of Texas, given Texas' House Bill [ 1325], which was signed by the governor into law on June 10, 2019, and which inserts language into the law that local governments may not regulate consumable hemp products, with regulation being reserved to the state explicitly. 66.90.153.184 ( talk) 00:56, 9 October 2019 (UTC)
The updated (April 2019) FDA regulatory status concerning the approval and marketing of cannabidiol has not changed from this talk page discussion in February 2019, particularly concerning the 2018 Farm Bill. Cannabidiol remains under Schedule I of the Controlled Substance Act, and the FDA has "not approved a marketing application for cannabis for the treatment of any disease or condition. FDA has, however, approved one cannabis-derived and three cannabis-related drug products. These approved products are only available with a prescription from a licensed healthcare provider." The FDA document has a section entitled How does the 2018 Farm Bill define hemp? What does it mean for FDA-regulated products? in which it states that cannabis-derived products (cannabidiol included) remain under the FDA approval process, which as of May 2019, has allowed marketing only of Epidiolex for rare forms of childhood epilepsy, with no other specific cannabidiol products approved. Concerning the 2018 Farm Bill, the FDA states under paragraph 8: "Even if a CBD product meets the definition of "hemp" under the 2018 Farm Bill (see Question #2), it still must comply with all other applicable laws, including the FD&C Act." Further, under paragraph 9: "Can THC or CBD products be sold as dietary supplements? No. Based on available evidence, FDA has concluded that THC and CBD products are excluded from the dietary supplement definition." -- Zefr ( talk) 18:29, 18 May 2019 (UTC)
From Lowell Schiller, JD, Principal Associate Commissioner for FDA Policy: So what does this mean in practice? Which specific rules and authorities are relevant to hemp, and how do they apply? The answer depends on what type of product you’re talking about. As I said earlier, FDA regulates a lot of different types of products, and the rules vary by product type. For example, if you have a product containing hemp, or a hemp derivative like hemp seeds or CBD, and you market it as a human drug, then it’s subject to different rules than if you market it as a food, or a cosmetic, or a veterinary product – product types that all have their own rules. And if the hemp is developed into a product that FDA doesn’t regulate, like biodiesel or clothes or jewelry, then there may not be a role for FDA anywhere in the life cycle of the product, all the way from the farm to the ultimate end user. We recognize the need to provide clear answers regarding how specifically our authorities apply to different types of hemp products, particularly given the incredible amount of interest in these products. This is especially true when it comes to CBD. Recently, we’ve seen an enormous surge of interest in this substance, and the level of excitement is palpable. At FDA, we’re excited too. We see significant potential in this substance, including potential clinical uses.
Here, under 6. Legal status of CBD: "Cannabidiol is not listed separately in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR); it is controlled in Schedule I by definition as a "derivative" or "component" of marijuana (21 USC 802). This is also true of other individual cannabinoids. Only THC is listed separately in Schedule I. According to a position statement from the DEA Office of Public Affairs, CBD from any source is a Schedule I substance." Also a good discussion in that article of a) 6.2. Hemp as a source of CBD; b) 6.4. The scope of the Farm Bill, which enables research on CBD from hemp, but requires the same stringent procedures "that human therapeutic research involving CBD would have to be conducted under an IND and approved by an Institutional Review Board;" and c) 6.6. What is the likelihood that cannabis or CBD will be rescheduled? Note from this section: rescheduling CBD from Schedule 1 for a therapeutic use will require a New Drug Application, typically a decade-long process under FDA purview to successful completion, although with a high failure rate. As extracted CBD is non-patentable (synthesized CBD may be), who would pay to develop it as a drug? -- Zefr ( talk) 13:24, 18 October 2019 (UTC)
The History section currently has this statement:
What is meant by "studied" here? The study of cannabis resin, not CBD, could have happened that early, but it seems impossible for specific research on any specific substance like THC, CBD, or CBN to happen at that early time. CBD was first isolated in 1940, so it seems that content needs some work.
I'd like to know which wording in the source backs up this idea.
The source does mention the isolation of cannabinol (CBN), a different substance than CBD, in 1896, ergo the late 19th century, so specific research on cannabinol could only happen after that date, just as specific research on CBD could only happen after 1940. -- BullRangifer ( talk) 16:28, 31 July 2019 (UTC)

Maybe it is just me but the article states in its opening paragraph that CBD has an affinity for both CB1 and CB2 receptors, with greater affinity for CB2 receptors. Then further down in the pharmacology section, it says that CBD has no affinity for CB receptors and acts as an antagonist of cannabinoid agonists...??? That makes no sense. Not only is it contradictory but if something is an antagonist then it is still "acting" on a receptor (so affinity exists) -- and the fact that it would be antagonizing a cannabinoid agonist (i.e. THC, anandamide) makes absolutely no sense either since CBD is known to enhance THC effects.
The more likely scenario here is mentioned in the article -- CBD and THC both compete for the same CYT P450 liver enzyme and therefore CBD concentration affects THC clearance. Since I don't know enough about CBD pharmacology to delete one or the other with 100% certainty, need someone to take a look at this who does.

Cannabidiol has exhibited antipsychotic effects in recent studies. If CBD has an antipsychotic effect, how can it not be considered psychoactive? -- Thoric 22:01, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
it only exhibits it's antipsychotic effect when THC is present so it is not pshchoactive on it's own. ( 82.47.164.103 05:30, 11 October 2007 (UTC))
I was popping in just to say the same thing. The article currently reads: "Medically, it appears to relieve convulsion, inflammation, anxiety, and nausea, and to inhibit cancer cell growth[5]. Recent studies have shown cannabidiol to be as effective as atypical antipsychotics in treating schizophrenia.[6]" If the drug reduced anxiety and is an effective antipsychotic, then it is indeed a psychoactive drug. It may not have any use as a recreational substance, a euphoriant, or a psychedelic, but the word is compeltely incorrect. I suggest we change the wording to something saying that it isn't responsible for most of Cannabis's effects, that it doesn't have the effects d9-THC does, that it is not a recreational drug, doesn't cause abuse, etc. Some of these are better than others, obviously, but an unverified induction is better than an something that is completely incorrect, and that evidence to support that is producible. Since there hasn't been discussion on this for a while, I'm just going to strike that part, because I think the rest of the article gives deatils enough to make sense until a decision can be made. -- Revaaron ( talk) 17:41, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

To determine whether CBD is scheduled, you need to look at the official schedule of controlled substances is available in 21 U.S.C. Sec. 812, Schedule 1. Regulation of marijuana and other cannabindoids is governed under Schedule 1(c)(10), (17), which list "Marihuana" and "Tetrahydrocannabinols" respectively. "Cannabinoids" generally and "cannabidiol" specifically are not listed. "Tetrahydrocannabinols" are distinct from cannabidiol, which has a different chemical structure. Schedule 1(d) lists "cannabimimetic agents" that will constitute controlled substances, and then goes on to define those substances, but I do not have a scientific background and so cannot determine whether CBD falls within such limits. Here is the text of section (d):
"(d)(1) Unless specifically exempted or unless listed in another schedule, any material, compound, mixture, or preparation which contains any quantity of cannabimimetic agents, or which contains their salts, isomers, and salts of isomers whenever the existence of such salts, isomers, and salts of isomers is possible within the specific chemical designation.
(2) In paragraph (1):
(A) The term "cannabimimetic agents" means any substance that is a cannabinoid receptor type 1 (CB1 receptor) agonist as demonstrated by binding studies and functional assays within any of the following structural classes:
(i) 2-(3-hydroxycyclohexyl)phenol with substitution at the 5-position of the phenolic ring by alkyl or alkenyl, whether or not substituted on the cyclohexyl ring to any extent.
(ii) 3-(1-naphthoyl)indole or 3-(1-naphthylmethane)indole by substitution at the nitrogen atom of the indole ring, whether or not further substituted on the indole ring to any extent, whether or not substituted on the naphthoyl or naphthyl ring to any extent.
(iii) 3-(1-naphthoyl)pyrrole by substitution at the nitrogen atom of the pyrrole ring, whether or not further substituted in the pyrrole ring to any extent, whether or not substituted on the naphthoyl ring to any extent.
(iv) 1-(1-naphthylmethylene)indene by substitution of the 3-position of the indene ring, whether or not further substituted in the indene ring to any extent, whether or not substituted on the naphthyl ring to any extent.
(v) 3-phenylacetylindole or 3-benzoylindole by substitution at the nitrogen atom of the indole ring, whether or not further substituted in the indole ring to any extent, whether or not substituted on the phenyl ring to any extent.
(B) Such term includes- (i) 5-(1,1-dimethylheptyl)-2-[(1R,3S)-3-hydroxycyclohexyl]-phenol (CP–47,497); (ii) 5-(1,1-dimethyloctyl)-2-[(1R,3S)-3-hydroxycyclohexyl]-phenol (cannabicyclohexanol or CP–47,497 C8-homolog); (iii) 1-pentyl-3-(1-naphthoyl)indole (JWH–018 and AM678); (iv) 1-butyl-3-(1-naphthoyl)indole (JWH–073); (v) 1-hexyl-3-(1-naphthoyl)indole (JWH–019); (vi) 1-[2-(4-morpholinyl)ethyl]-3-(1-naphthoyl)indole (JWH–200); (vii) 1-pentyl-3-(2-methoxyphenylacetyl)indole (JWH–250); (viii) 1-pentyl-3-[1-(4-methoxynaphthoyl)]indole (JWH–081); (ix) 1-pentyl-3-(4-methyl-1-naphthoyl)indole (JWH–122); (x) 1-pentyl-3-(4-chloro-1-naphthoyl)indole (JWH–398); (xi) 1-(5-fluoropentyl)-3-(1-naphthoyl)indole (AM2201); (xii) 1-(5-fluoropentyl)-3-(2-iodobenzoyl)indole (AM694); (xiii) 1-pentyl-3-[(4-methoxy)-benzoyl]indole (SR–19 and RCS–4); (xiv) 1-cyclohexylethyl-3-(2-methoxyphenylacetyl)indole (SR–18 and RCS–8); and (xv) 1-pentyl-3-(2-chlorophenylacetyl)indole (JWH–203)."
CBD is forbidden in any form (pure or from a plant) in the USA. Cannabidiol and all other phytocannabinoids are Schedule I drugs in the USA. The code number for cannabidiol in Schedule I is 7372. It is not psychoactive, but it is illegal in the eyes of the federal government. You may find it listed under Schedule I where it says tetrahydrocannabinols. The part saying "and others" includes all phytocannabinoids, even CBD. 71.33.139.8 ( talk) 02:33, 7 April 2014 (UTC)"
Is it unscheduled in the US or is it a CI (Schedule I substance) ? On this wiki page it doesn't say anything, but I have seen Cannabidiol listed as Schedule I just can't remember where, CBD isn't listed on
http://www.cnsm.csulb.edu/services/safety/druglist.htm but that site may be outdated. So i'm confused, any help?
also this is the most updated GOVERNMENT site listing all scheduled drugs and i dont see CBD listed http://www.access.gpo.gov/nara/cfr/waisidx_01/21cfr1308_01.html
I do not believe this is a US scheduled substance. So the Legal Status in the template needs to be changed, and the OR hypothesis currently in the article as to why it is schedule I should be removed. I looked up the citation for its supposed scheduled status and found no evidence for this being schedule I (US). In fact, the Legal Status of many of the narcotics on Wikipedia are wrong. The problem might stem from Canada (CDSA) also using a schedule system. While almost all of the compounds are the same in both laws the scheduling is different. In conclusion, Cannabidiol is a CDSA schedule II, and is non-controlled in the US. I am removing the OR. 66.166.38.18 ( talk) 16:09, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
As it is an extract of marijuana cannabadiol is illegal in the United States.

Sorry, just because some random chemical company says Cannabidiol is Schedule 1 doesn't mean that it is. First of all, the CSA makes no mention of Cannabidiol whatsoever.
the "extracts" from marijuana that it is referring to are the tetrahydrocannabinol group of cannabinoids, that's why it calls it "resin."
does not include the mature stalks of such plant, fiber produced from such stalks, oil or cake made from the seeds of such plant, any other compound, manufacture, salt, derivative, mixture, or preparation of such mature stalks (except the resin extracted therefrom)' [1]
Unlike THC, CBD is found in large concentrations in hemp stalks and seed oil.

Also if you look into the CPS under Sativex it says that both THC and CBD are scheduled. Fireemblem555 ( talk) 04:29, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
Sativex (which contains cannabidiol) is a Schedule 2 drug in Canada. Just wanted to clarify what you're saying there. Bayhemp ( talk) 03:52, 12 September 2010 (UTC)
This section of the article is confusing, as it states that Cannabidiol is a Schedule I controlled substance and even gives a index number. However, according to the Controlled Substances Act, in order for a drug to be in Schedule I, it must fit all three of the following criteria a) a high potential for abuse b) no medical use and c) lack of safety for using the drug under medical supervision. To the best of my knowledge, no cannabinoids, including cannabidiol, have ever been shown to be habit forming, which nullifies criteria A. This article lists a myriad of medical uses for cannabidiol, nullifying criteria B. This article also mentions that Sativex is a prescription drug, thereby making it not lack safety for using the drug under medical supervision, nullifying criteria C. Therefore, it seems cannabidiol meets NONE of the criteria for Schedule I whatsoever. Is it possible that there is a mixup, as cannabidiol does meet the definitions for a List I precursor, but not a Schedule I drug? If the drug is truely a Schedule I can someone please expand on the legal section to explain the discrepancies and contradictions between this article and the definitions of Schedule I in the CSA? Thanks!! Otherwise, great article! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.218.178.56 ( talk) 07:04, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
I removed any reference to cannabidiol being schedule I in the US. From looking through the DEA list of scheduled substances, it isn't in any way clear that CBD is either "cannabis" or "marihuana." Hempseeds, hemp protein, etc. are all derived from hemp, but aren't themselves illegal, so the DEA has clearly taken the position that products derived from hemp aren't "cannabis" or "marihuana" and I think it's a stretch to say that the "and others" in "Tetrahydrocannabinols: THC, Delta-8 THC, Delta-9 THC, dronabinol and others" would naturally refer to something that isn't a tetrahydocannabinol at all. Without some sort of interpretive notice from the DEA, I think it would make sense to err on the side that says "hemp products are legal; THCs are illegal; CBD isn't a THC, but is derived from hemp; therefore CBD, like other hemp products, is legal." However, since we don't want to necessarily tell people something is legal when it might not be, I think it's best to be silent on the issue or state something noncommittal on the subject. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.129.243.236 ( talk) 19:38, 14 April 2012 (UTC)

When it comes to issues of the CSA, especially Schedule 1 and the draconian penalties and prison associated with those violations, it would be foolish and irresponsible to assert to the naive public that CBD is legal, or the CBD isn't illegal, without a clear opinion letter from the DEA or US DOJ, or from a competent law firm willing to put their name and law license on the line should it turn out to be incorrect.
Anything less is playing with the same legal fires that "spice" "bath salts" and "herbal incense" dealers risk via their games of chemical frogger from one analogue to the next.
For instance, Colorado defines "cannabinoid" as any substance that binds to CB1 or CB2 receptors in the human body, and outlaws all synthetics, and requires difficult licensing via their marijuana enforcement division for naturally derived extracts.
Your legal "wishful thinking" is not a safe and sane factual basis for a public encyclopedia, where real lives are at risk if your unqualified legal opinion turns out to be dead wrong.
Err on the side of legal safety.

Ligresti et al suggest that "cannabidiol exerts its effects on [cancer] cells through a combination of mechanisms that include either direct or indirect activation of CB2 and TRPV1 receptors, and induction of oxidative stress, all contributing to induce apoptosis." (emphasis added) - yet Thomas et al show cannabidiol to be a CB2 inverse agonist mouse whole-brain or CHO cell membranes. Ligresti et al's reasoning is that cannabidiol inhibits anandamide inactivation, thus "indirectly activating" CB1/CB2, but I would think the receptor-independent inverse agonist effect would largely negate any action this might have; indeed, they found that "pure agonists" were less effective than CBD, which doesn't seem consistent with an eCB mechanism.

Regarding this topic,
the following paper seems to give a good summary of several studies which have looked into this. I have access to it but can't post speciically what I'm referring to due to copyright. I will however try and update the article with the research in due course.
And in response to what I removed in my last edit, would you consider the removed content a fair summary of the conclusions of the paper cited below?
"In conclusion, results from pre-clinical and clinical studies suggest that CBD is an effective, safe and well-tolerated alternative treatment for schizophrenic patients. Future trials of this cannabinoid in other psychotic conditions such as bipolar disorder (50) and comparative studies of its antipsychotic effects with those produced by clozapine in schizophrenic patients are clearly needed.
I must mention the conclusion of the paper I inititally referred to above. It talks of the endocannabinoid system as being very important in the development of schizophrenia.
In conclusion, the endogenous cannabinoid system seems to be critically involved in the pathogenesis of schizophrenic disorders, and both CBD and SR141716 provide pharmacological characteristics that are reminiscent of those of atypical antipsychotics. To date, it is not clear if the antipsychotic effects are mediated by the direct influence of cannabinoids on the endogenous cannabinoid system or through the secondary modulation of dopaminergic or glutamatergic systems. However, CB1 receptor antagonists seem to be promising candidates for novel approaches in the treatment of schizophrenic disorders. Further investigation is needed to elucidate the exact mechanisms of cannabinoid action concerning their influence on the endogenous cannabinoid system and concerning their potential antipsychotic effects."

A recent edit to Cannabidiol copy/pasted the paragraph from [ this] page into the article. I reverted this edit because of plagiarism, but I think we do need to have a discussion here about what information the article should provide on the anti-psychotic question of CBD.
I have read the [ article] that is used to support the information about CBD as a treatment for schizophrenia in our Cannabidiol article (which User:Supposed also cited in the first block of quoted text above). In that article, they discussed two human studies: one was a single case study, the other included 3 patients of whom one had "partial improvement" and the other two had no improvement. Both of these human studies were researched by the same scientist who wrote the review article (AW Zuardi). I do not think that these two small studies (together, the instances of 4 patients) carry enough weight to support the statement made in our Cannabidiol article:
Recent studies have shown cannabidiol to be as effective as atypical antipsychotics in treating schizophrenia
I am not denying that CBD may have anti-psychotic properties, I am simply being cautious against making claims in the article that have limited support and may be damaging. To make the claim that CBD (a substance found in marijuana) may be an anti-schizophrenic treatment might cause a person to smoke marijuana for treatment/prevention or recommend others to do so. This is dangerous because there is also research to suggest that smoking marijuana might be a contributing factor in the development of schizophrenia and other mental illnesses.

S39-02 Antipsychotic effects of cannabidiol
Purchase the full-text article Background
In contrast to delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, the phytocannabinoid cannabidiol does not exert psychotomimetic effects. Cannabidiol was suggested a re-uptake inhibitor of anandamide and potential antipsychotic properties have been hypothesized for it. We therefore performed a clinical trial to investigate thesis hypothesis and to clarify the underlying link to the neurobiology of schizophrenia.
Methods
We performed an explorative, 4-week, double-blind, controlled clinical trial on the effects of purified cannabidiol in acute schizophrenia compared to the antipsychotic amisulpride. The antipsychotic properties of both drugs were the primary target of the study. Furthermore, side-effects and anxiolytic capabilities of both treatments were investigated.
Results 42 patients fulfilling DSM-IV criteria of acute paranoid schizophrenia participated in the study. Both treatments were associated with a significant decrease of psychotic symptoms after 2 and 4 weeks as assessed by BPRS and PANSS. However, there was no statistical difference between both treatment groups. In contrast, cannabidiol induced significantly less side effects (EPS, increase in prolactin, weight gain) when compared to amisulpride.
Conclusions
Cannabidiol revealed substantial antipsychotic properties in acute schizophrenia. This is in line with our suggestion of an adaptive role of the endocannabinoid system in paranoid schizophrenia, and raises further evidence that this adaptive mechanism may represent a valuable target for antipsychotic treatment strategies.
The Stanley Medical Research Institute (00-093 to FML) and the Koeln Fortune Program (107/2000 + 101/2001 to FML) funded this study.
In regards to your concerns that people may use cannabis for relief from the symptoms of schizophrenia, I do not deny that may happen. However it is not the job of wikipedia to prevent people from taking drugs, rather it's our job to try and be as factually accurate as possible.It's equally likely that people reading the Effects of Cannabis page will notice the link selfmedicating hypothesis on that page and use cannabis to treat their schizophrenia, this does not mean we shoudl remove that hypothesis from that page. The only case in which it would be appropriate to place information regarding THC on this page is if cannabis rather than CBD is being used as a treatment for schizophrenia. So if we can collate information regarding self medicating this may be possible. Of course it's also not the fault of wikipedia that there is no mechanism in place for users to know precisely how much THC, CBD or CBN is in their cannabis.

I didn't see this mentioned, but it seems important because of the mounting evidence and the prevalence of inflammatory bowel disease, which doesn't seem to have a particularly effective treatment, currently. I don't really know enough about it to take a good stab yet, but I wanted to record it here so someone else could. There is a decent amount of literature on the subject: http://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&q=colitis+cannabinoid From http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0009453 :
Anecdotal reports suggest that marijuana- or tetrahydrocannabinol-containing products may be effective in alleviating symptoms in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD). This is supported by recent studies of our group and others suggesting that pharmacological activation of the cannabinoid 1 (CB1) receptor with selective receptor agonists decreases the inflammatory response in various murine models of colonic inflammation [. . .] Interestingly, pharmacological blockade of CB1 receptors or genetic ablation of CB1 receptors (CNR1-/- mice) aggravates intestinal inflammation in these models, emphasizing the physiological relevance of the CB1 receptor in the protection against intestinal inflammation. Increased mucosal levels of the endocannabinoid anandamide during intestinal inflammation in humans further stress the role of the CB1 receptor and the endocannabinoid system in intestinal inflammation. Thus, present knowledge suggests up-regulation of endocannabinoids as an important protective mechanism in intestinal inflammation.

Basically, the EL section is a short list of advocacy organizations.
This article is about "one of at least 85 cannabinoids found in cannabis". The first link is to a site listing compounds found in one variety of pot. Many of the compounds listed have their own articles but do not include this link. The site is not about cannabidiol and provides no additional information about the compound. See WP:ELNO #1.
The second link is a site set up by two journalists to promote the use of cannabidiol. The journalists wrote for what they describe as a "journal", O'Shaughnessy's. Quite the prestigious journal, but not stuffy, they include such stringently peer-reviewed material as " Songs - Another side of us" and " Off Topic - A place where cannabis activists have been warned not to stray". (Journals ain't what they used to be, folks.) These "journalists'" musings are not MEDRS sources. Heck, they're barely journalists. Clearly not WP:ELYES or WP:ELMAYBE material. I'm 100% certain I can easily find hundreds of similar writers against medical marijuana who are similarly not qualified. If you believe this link belongs here, these links certainly belong in several articles.
The third link, azmarijuana, is not-quite an a-z guide on pot. Don't get me wrong, it has a lot of information about pot: Product reviews ("We review medical marijuana, edibles, vaporizers, bongs, pipes, and more!"), a forum and "Marijuana Events" ("Marijuana events throughout Arizona and the United States.") Curiously, unlike the mixed bag research I have seen on marijuana, the pot they are discussing cures everything with no downside whatsoever. Laws, though are a total bummer, dude. Way to harsh my mellow! Again, this site is neither specifically about the subject nor reliable.

"Compared with THC, cannabidiol is psychoactive"

An IP editor is repeatedly changing "Compared with THC, cannabidiol is psychoactive but not intoxicating, and is considered to have a wider scope..." to "Compared with THC, cannabidiol is not psychoactive, and is considered to have a wider scope...". The study cited clearly states, "cannabidiol (CBD) may exert sedative, hypnotic, anxiolytic, antidepressant, antipsychotic and anticonvulsant effects". As the study cited does not say cannabidol is not intoxicating, I have corrected this to read "Cannabidiol is psychoactive. Compared with THC, it is considered to have a wider scope...".

Among patients with cancer pain given a single dose of placebo or THC 5, 10, 15, or 20 mg, analgesia was achieved only with THC at the higher 15- and 20-mg doses. ... The authors stated that 10 and 20 mg of oral THC were equivalent to 60 and 120 mg of codeine, respectively, for pain relief, but that the adverse effects of oral THC (somnolence, dizziness, ataxia, and blurred vision) may not make it an ideal medication for chronic cancer pain."
Furthermore the article states:
Although most trials indicate that medical cannabis produces mild to moderate adverse effects, one of the ongoing concerns about using medical cannabis is the unfavorable and somewhat variable adverse effect profile when used in different formulations as a medicinal product.

Yes, this magic stuff obviously cures cancer because someone on youtube said it did. [7] [8] [9] In the dark ages of medicine, we used to conduct double-blind clinical trials with large numbers of patients to try to remove "erroneous reports", "confirmation bias", the "placebo effect", "spontaneous remissions", "post hoc fallacies" and other such boogeymen as we used to believe occurred in medicine. Now that we have random people reporting their miracles on youtube, we know better.
Unfortunately, Wikipedia is still prosecuting a witch hunt against all of the magical cures of cancer in defense of the international conspiracy known as "evidence-based medicine". This nonsense is enshrined in WP:MEDRS, which remains the effective law of the land for this topic. Heck, this policy has also weakened our once-great article about coffee enemas and calf liver juice curing every ailment known to man. Heck, the article was supported by the murdered inventor's testimony from beyond the grave via radio to his grandson. For God's sake: What more evidence do you need?
Modern medicine is all caught up in this idea that cancer cures must be demonstrable and repeatable. Those of us in the real world know that needles jabbed in mysterious points of the body to regulate a mythical energy flow, foot massages, spinal manipulation, apricot pits, orgon energy, prayer, psychic surgery, smelling essential oils, sticking candles in your ears, running a weak electric current through a foot bath, rubbing magical cards, rubbing coins together, having someone touch you while not touching you, having someone manipulate The Force, manipulating or needling the foot --- I mean palm -- I mean ear or the patient, turning your skin permanently blue, flowers, doses of water that no longer contain poisons added to them, wishful thinking, suctioning hot cups on your skin and scraping the skin off your body with coins are all 100% effective cures for cancer (and thousands of other illnesses).
That said, we still need independent reliable sources consistent with our policy to tell the world of these miracles. - SummerPhD ( talk) 14:13, 28 June 2014 (UTC)

This is a copy of the section "cancer" as I found it. The American Cancer Society says: "There is no available scientific evidence from controlled studies in humans that cannabinoids can cure or treat cancer."[22] Laboratory experiments have been performed on the potential use of cannabinoids for cancer therapy but as of 2013 results have been contradictory and knowledge remains poor.[23] Cannabinoids have been recommended for cancer pain but the adverse effects may make them a less than ideal treatment; two cannabinoid-based medicines have been approved as a backup remedy for nausea associated with chemotherapy.[4]
What is said about adverse effects of cannabinoids should be removed, because it confuses the reader, and this article is about cannabidiol, and not cannabinoids.
For instance, THC, the psychoactive part, is a cannabinoid, but it is not part of cannabidiols.
Therefore I've added these lines: However what may be true in the concern of adverse effects for cannabinoids, it not likely to hold as for the special case of cannabidiol.
Also, even though it is true that there have not been sufficient experiments in human, there have been several experiments either in vitro, or on animal, the result of which can be found on the American medical database "Pubmed". Some of these experiments have shown inconclusive, but some have shown positive results.
The source where anybody can seek confirmation, viz. "pubmed", is not to be discussed.
My conclusion is that this article is strongly influence by POV of people which are against.
A look at "pubmed" + "cannabidiol" should help to show there is no trickery there.
Yet another point: it's true that it has anti-cancer properties. However none of the article have said that it would be enough... Also it is said, that even though cannabidiols (plural, and also several times it is said "plant extract", viz. cannabidiol is a family of molecules and they have been taken in plant instead of having being synthesize)... Even though cannabidiol has anti-cancer properties, THC also have anti-cancer properties, which are due to different mechanisms. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.198.107.203 ( talk) 17:03, 5 July 2014 (UTC)

The Parkinson's disease sub-topic states that "It has been proposed that CBD may help people with Parkinson's disease, but promising results in animal experiments were not confirmed when CBD was trialled in humans" and cites Iuvone et al.
The article cited claims that "Early human reports showed a dose-related improvement (ranging from 20 to 50%) in parkinsonian patients treated with oral doses of CBD (100–600 mg/day over a 6-week period)" using Consroe et al. as its source for this information.
However, Consroe et al. state that CBD "[...] was given to 5 patients with dystonic movement disorders in a preliminary open pilot study. Oral doses of CBD rising from 100 to 600 mg/day over a 6 week period were administered along with standard medication. Dose-related improvement in dystonia was observed in all patients and ranged from 20 to 50%".
Consroe et al. go on further, saying that "[...] 2 patients with coexisting Parkinsonian features, CBD at doses over 300 mg/day exacerbated the hypokinesia and resting tremor. CBD appears to have antidystonic and Parkinsonism-aggravating effects in humans".
Exacerbated: to make (a problem, bad situation, or negative feeling) worse. Synonyms: aggravate, worsen.
Iuvone et al. misinterpreted Consroe et al. because Consroe et al. claim that CBD worsened Parkinsonian features, while Iuvone et al., who cite Consroe et al. for this information, say that there was a dose-related improvement in Parkinsonian patients. This is a contradiction.
So, the statement "It has been proposed that CBD may help people with Parkinson's disease" is false because Consroe et al. show that CBD aggravated Parkinsonian features.
Also, the statement "results in animal experiments were not confirmed when CBD was trialled in humans" is false even if we assume that Iuvone et al. was correctly citing Consroe et al. If Iuvone et al. was correct, then results in animal experiments were confirmed when trialled in humans to be good, but we know this is incorrect by Consroe et al.. But, then again, it was NOT proposed that CBD may help people with Parkinson's - Consroe et al. suggest that it will make symptoms worse.
I have also e-mailed Professor Iuvone about this misinterpretation. Any article used on the CBD wiki page that cites Iuvone et al. needs to be proof read to ensure that the information regarding the Consroe et al. study is accurate and agrees with Consroe et al.
This is why I deleted the Parkinson's disease sub-topic. It is completely misleading.

A while back there was a sub-topic about multiple sclerosis and Sativex that was removed. If there was not a secondary source that acted as a thorough review for the research regarding MS and CBD, I suggest you view this article by Kogan and Mechoulam:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3202504/
My post was directly quoted from the article:
The CBD/THC buccal spray (Sativex) was found to be effective in treating neuropathic pain in multiple sclerosis (MS). A mixture of 2.5 mg THC and 0.9 mg cannabidiol (CBD) lowered spasm frequency and increased mobility, with tolerable side effects, in MS patients with persistent spasticity not responding to other drugs. Oromucosal sprays of Sativex significantly reduced spasticity scores in comparison with placebo. Long-term use of Sativex maintains its effect in those patients who perceive initial benefit. Zajicek et al originally reported that cannabinoids did not have a beneficial effect on spasticity; however, there was an objective improvement in mobility and some patients reported an improvement in pain. Later the same group also found positive effects on muscle spasticity with prolonged treatment. The subject has been thoroughly reviewed.

I know Kannaway is abhorred in the cannabinoid scene and known to be a scam.
Does anyone have any actual references from NIH stating that they're working with KannaSciences or have any agreements with them as per this Wikipedia article? They're simply pointing to a PR of theirs (KannaScieces) as proof and any Google search only returns paid promotional sites. No hint of KannaSciencies associated with NIH, not even under Google scholar or Pubmed.

In the section Industrial hemp, this sentence appears:
"Worldwide hemp production is around 30,000 tonnes per year."
But the word "hemp" when referring to a plant has two distinct meanings: One is any cannabis plant; the other is the kind that is used in industry, that has little or no psychotropic effects at all.
The fact that this section is titled "Industrial hemp" does not mean that the word hemp by itself is suddenly unambiguous. So if a statement is made about the "hemp" plant, even inside this section it needs to be disambiguated.

I'd like to add some fresh research on cannabidiol for Graft-versus-Host Disease [11], but its not advanced enough to quality as a medical indication and I don't want to clutter up the 'Clinical applications' section with every new finding. The [Cannabis (drug)] page has a 'Medical uses' section and a dedicated 'research' section for newer reports.
I think this article should change 'Clinical applications' to 'Medical Uses' and move topics with incomplete evidence to its own section.

I've replaced the original research and final sentence that gives a legal opinion of the legality in the US via a tortured argumentum ad nauseum with current research as a drug in Davet Syndrome. If it's been granted orphan status and approved for testing, it's obviously legal in the US. I'm including the excised section here for archival or other, more skilled editors usage.

original research. (November 2015) |
The legal status of Cannabidiol in the United States at the federal level is not immediately clear. The Controlled Substances Act (CSA) does not specifically list cannabidiol in Schedule I [1] nor in any of the other schedules, [2] However, public statements by the Drug Enforcement Administration have long represented cannabidiol as Schedule I. [3] [4]
The drug Schedules list " Tetrahydrocannabinols" and " marijuana" both as Schedule I drugs under the Controlled Substances Act, [1] cannabidiol is not considered as a Schedule I drug on the basis of being covered by the listing of "Marihuana" or by the listing of "Tetrahydrocannabinols" under Schedule I of the CSA. Under current legislation, Cannabidiol as a singular substance does not fall under the criteria set forth under these guidelines, and is currently regarded as GRAS, or "Generally Regarded As Safe" by default.
Unless specifically excepted or unless listed in another schedule, any material, compound, mixture, or preparation, which contains any quantity of the following hallucinogenic substances, or which contains any of its salts, isomers, and salts of isomers whenever the existence of such salts, isomers, and salts of isomers is possible within the specific chemical designation (for purposes of this paragraph only, the term "isomer" includes the optical, position and geometric isomers):
- (31) Tetrahydrocannabinols (DEA Drug Code: 7370)
- Meaning tetrahydrocannabinols naturally contained in a plant of the genus Cannabis (cannabis plant), as well as synthetic equivalents of the substances contained in the cannabis plant, or in the resinous extractives of such plant, and/or synthetic substances, derivatives, and their isomers with similar chemical structure and pharmacological activity to those substances contained in the plant, such as the following:
- 1 cis or trans tetrahydrocannabinol, and their optical isomers
- 6 cis or trans tetrahydrocannabinol, and their optical isomers
- 3,4 cis or trans tetrahydrocannabinol, and its optical isomers
- (Since nomenclature of these substances is not internationally standardized, compounds of these structures, regardless of numerical designation of atomic positions covered.)
Since cannabidiol is chemically not a tetrahydrocannabinol (nor indeed a " cannabinol" of any kind) and cannabidiol has a DEA Drug Code of 7372 (distinct from Tetrahydrocannabinols' designated Drug Code of 7370), [7] it stands to reason that cannabidiol is not considered one of the drugs placed into Schedule I under the listing of "Tetrahydrocannabinols" in the CSA.
Furthermore, cannabidiol was not placed into Schedule I when The Controlled Substances Act was amended in July 2012 with the US Congress' passing of the Synthetic Drug Abuse Prevention Act of 2012 (SDAPA) (which came into effect on January 4, 2013 [8]) [9] to ban various cannabinoids, cathinones, and phenethylamines. [1] The part adding to Schedule I various "cannabimimetic agents" which include molecules more closely resembling so-called "classically" structured cannabinoids reads as follows:
(d)
(1) Unless specifically exempted or unless listed in another schedule, any material, compound, mixture, or preparation which contains any quantity of cannabimimetic agents, or which contains their salts, isomers, and salts of isomers whenever the existence of such salts, isomers, and salts of isomers is possible within the specific chemical designation.
- (2) In paragraph (1):
- (A) The term "cannabimimetic agents" means any substance that is a cannabinoid receptor type 1 (CB1 receptor) agonist as demonstrated by binding studies and functional assays within any of the following structural classes:
- (i) 2-(3-hydroxycyclohexyl)phenol with substitution at the 5-position of the phenolic ring by alkyl or alkenyl, whether or not substituted on the cyclohexyl ring to any extent.
Cannabidiol, while being a more "classically structured" cannabinoid (not like the much more recently discovered cannabinoid receport agonists with indole rings such as many of the JWH- and AM- named series), was not on the list of specifically newly banned cannabinoids (even among those with a more so-called "classic structure"), [1] [8] and it does not fall into the category of unlisted cannabinoids which are caught by the definition above for several reasons. Primarily, CBD is not a CB1 agonist; it is a CB1 antagonist. [10] [11] Also, unlike CP 47,497's homologues and similar synthetic "classical structured cannabinoids" which the above definition was written carefully to include, the cannabidiol molecule has a cyclohexene ring where the amended law requires a cyclohexane ring, and further cannabidiol does not have the required 3- hydroxyl moiety bonded to its cyclohexenyl functional group where the law requires a hydroxyl moiety bonded to the 3- position of a cyclohexyl functional group.
Extracts and concentrates of hemp products which are high in cannabidiol content are very likely legal under US federal law as long as they meet certain requirements. Marihuana is defined by 21 U.S.C. §802(16), which is part of the Controlled Substances Act, and it has a DEA Number / Drug Code of 7360. Exempted from regulation under the definition of marihana is "the mature stalks of such plant, fiber produced from such stalks, oil or cake made from the seeds of such plant, any other compound, manufacture, salt, derivative, mixture, or preparation of such mature stalks (except the resin extracted therefrom), fiber, oil, or cake, or the sterilized seed of any such plant which is incapable of germination." [5] [12] [13] Under this exception, what are known as industrial hemp-finished products are legally imported into the United States each year. [14] Hemp finished products, including hemp oil and extracts of hemp products which are high in cannabidiol, are legal in the United States for this reason.

This seems old (2008):
"While one would assume that this would cause cannabidiol to reduce the effects of THC, it may potentiate THC's effects by increasing CB1 receptor density or through another CB1-related mechanism." [1]
This is newer (2012):
CBD is shown to reduce the impairment caused by THC-induced euphoria in human study volunteers (performing work-flow tasks). CBD inhibits anxiety and psychotic-like symptoms (such as disconnected thoughts, perceptual disturbance, depersonalization and resistance to communication) induced by THC. [2]
I thought WP doesn't accept blogs (although this one is pretty darn good...:
"It may also extend the duration of the effects of THC via inhibition of the cytochrome P-450-3A and 2C enzymes." [3]

A clinical review in The New England Journal of Medicine states that since 2013, data has been collected on patients with severe epilepsy (Dravet’s syndrome and the Lennox–Gastaut syndrome). The patients received Epidiolex, a purified cannabis extract containing 99% cannabidiol and less than 0.10% Δ9-THC. Among 137 patients, the median reduction in the number of seizures was 54%.

I have removed the following boiling point information from the infobox: "180 °C<br />(range: 160–180 °C)<ref>{{cite journal |vauthors=McPartland JM, Russo EB |year=2001|title=Cannabis and cannabis extracts: greater than the sum of their parts? |journal=Journal of Cannabis Therapeutics |volume=1|issue=3/4 |pages=103–132 |doi=10.1300/J175v01n03_08 |url=http://www.cannabis-med.org/data/pdf/2001-03-04-7.pdf}}</ref>". This value seems way too low for a chemical compound of the molecular weight of cannabidiol and the source doesn't appear to be very authoritative. A typical predicted value can be found at ChemSpider which lists 463.9±45.0 °C at 760 mmHg. Maybe the 180 °C value is at reduced pressure? In any case, a reliable source for an experimentally determined value is needed. -- Ed ( Edgar181) 18:17, 18 April 2017 (UTC)
Hi, i'm Tara Shive I need your Approval for add Content in your Page, it is related to CBD Oil (Cannabidiol) and its effects on the body. Thanks Tarashive ( talk) 06:08, 4 July 2017 (UTC)
Tittle or Heading: Vaping CBD Oil
Content: Did you know that your body produces its own cannabinoids similar to CBD and THC? The bodies cannabinoids are a part of a system that acts as the “master control system” of the body. That same system is designed to work with Cannabidiol CBD The endogenous cannabinoid system, or endocannabinoid system (ECS), is a recently discovered system of naturally occurring cannabinoids and cannabinoid receptor sites throughout your entire body!
There are two receptors that make up the endocannabinoid system: CB1 and CB2 receptors. CB1 receptors are found mostly in the nervous system, connective tissues, gonads, glands, and organs. CB2 receptors are primarily found in the immune system and the structures associated with healthy immune functioning. Unlike THC, which overstimulates the CB1 and CB2 receptors directly, CBD signals the body’s natural endogenous cannabinoids to activate those receptors to do more of what they do naturally.
With these cannabinoid receptor sites spread throughout our entire bodies, you can only imagine the importance of having these receptors working properly in order to keep this important internal system functioning to protect you. It is through this powerful system that CBD can do its magic, but we cannot make any medical claims. We once again encourage you to do your own research with the information we have provided.
Ultimately, the job of the endocannabinoid system is to promote homeostasis, the maintenance of a stable internal environment despite fluctuations in the external environment.

The number of different possible uses outlined in academic studies for cannabidiol far exceeds epilepsy and psychosis: ADHD, drug addiction (nicotine, marijuana, alcohol, etc), diabetes, PTSD, insomnia, depression, ischaemia, Parkinson's disease, cancer, etcetera. For this reason, I have for the time being deleted the very short one-sentence segment on psychosis as a use case for cannabidiol until a more comprehensive list of possible uses has been put forth. The amount of content in this (now deleted) "psychosis" segment does not justify its own section. I propose an "Other Possible Uses" (or similarly worded) segment, and will work on a first draft for this once I find the time to organize the research, unless someone beats me to it, in which I'd be happy to enrich said additions if necessary.
No reason to stigmatize this compound, it has an enormous amount of potential for many use cases. Ddd1600 ( talk) 06:43, 11 September 2017 (UTC)
That is perfectly fine with me, but before I ever edited anything there were several claims already that were not reflective of body of research that has been done as is. If we want to go ahead and remove all possible medical uses, I'd be OK with that too, but if not, the full body of research should be reflected, not just some handpicked set of conditions out of a sea of (mostly inconclusive) research that has been done.

The current sidebar states that it's Schedule I in the US. However, the main legal section Cannabidiol#U.S. seems to imply that it's legal and unregulated. This seems semi-contradictory and could use some expert attention to explain what exactly the legal situation is. -- Gwern (contribs) 00:02 20 March 2017 (GMT)
It actually IS legal in the US- while the DEA has a code for CBD- meaning that the DEA recognizes it as being a "Drug" it DOES NOT appear in the current official Schedule I listings, nor does it appear in any of the other official schedule listings per the DEA's own admissions via the DEA website. 71.91.178.54 ( talk) 20:58, 8 August 2018 (UTC)
Zefr, The legal status Has little to do to with whether or not it's "approved" or not- Something need not be "approved" by the FDA to be legal to posess. (Example- Caffeine is not an FDA approved drug, but there are no laws against possessing caffeine.) The FDA Doesn't regulate herbs and supplements, therefore will probably decline to exert it's authority at all with respect to Cannabidiol, because it would be classified as an herb or supplement by the FDA. Drug Approval is only a small part of the legal criterion required to make a substance a controlled substance under the DEA regulatory authority. Notably the federal courts have said that the DEA Has to meet ALL of the criterion required by the federal statute, not just ones relating to medical uses licensed by the FDA. The sources you mention are secondary sources as compared with the sources I have which are the official Controlled Susbstances Classifications as Published by the DEA, which is a primary source. Primary sources are to be considered to be more reliable than secondary sources. 71.91.178.54 ( talk) 21:42, 15 August 2018 (UTC)
For Everyone's reference, this is an exhaustive list of all Cannabanoids that appear in Scehdule I per the United States. Notably, Cannabidiol Isn't There. This sums up Proof positive that CBD ISN'T A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE.
I would like to make a plea for everyone to keep it scientific/academic on this page. The legality of CBD varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, internationally and domestically. The laws seem to change almost monthly. Lets try to give our readers something they can rely on, like the very slowly growing body of scientific information being accumulated on this molecule? Thanks.
The problem with that notion is that issues of legality are first just as notable and encyclopedic as points that are strictly of a scientific nature; especially with respect to U.S. law, since U.S. law has a tendency to profoundly shape the law in the rest of the world, especially with this kind of subject matter. Therefore, there is very little politicization of the issue- rather, there are issues of the correct interpretation of the information, and are therefore differing opinions on such. The problem with most of the scientific claims about CBD is that most of them are just that- nothing more than claims, because most of the studies aren't in a stage that passes peer review; hence they aren't considered by the scientific community to be reliable sources, yet alone sources that are reliable enough for an encyclopedia. Also, please don't forget to sign your posts on talk pages. (The first paragraph under this section heading appears to lack a signature.) Thanks. 71.91.178.54 ( talk) 07:19, 20 August 2018 (UTC)
Is the content on legal status worthy of being its own article? David notMD ( talk) 14:01, 25 August 2018 (UTC)
In my opinion, I would say probably not- given current Wikipedia Policy. This is because of the fact that legality is an essential attribute that people generally want to know about a substance, and that forming such disambiguated pages hasn't been the majority consensus thus far on Wikipedia. (Where the policy has generally been to avoid disambiguation pages where feasible.) Approaching things this way would be a broad policy statement, which would be most appropriately addressed under the tact of forming a new policy that should apply to all pages involving substances and herbs commonly treated as a "drug". Thus, it would require a tremendous amount of editing across Wikipedia in order for the content to be relatively consistent in nature. 71.91.178.54 ( talk) 00:14, 26 August 2018 (UTC)
Article content on health effects (benefits, adverse effects) should rest on citations that meet WP:MEDRS standards. This excludes in vitro and animal work, and individual human trials; includes reviews, systematic reviews, meta-analyses and governmental position papers. David notMD ( talk) 13:15, 12 April 2018 (UTC)
David, The problem with this is that we largely don't have much in terms of systemic research on CBD that is of a high enough quality to pass peer review. Therefore, most of the "governmental position papers" aren't scientifically reliable enough to meet the needs of encyclopedic content, because at this point they represent nothing more than governmental claims which have yet to be scientifically proven to any appreciable scientific standard. The fact is that about 95 percent or greater of the available information on CBD would constitute primary sources. Thus, I find WP:MEDRS to be extremely inappropriate for purposes of this article. 71.91.178.54 ( talk) 07:24, 20 August 2018 (UTC)
Zefr, the problem with your line of thinking is that at the end of the day, most of those references are primary sources- i.e. they link to the scientific papers themselves as published in a scientific journal. Secondary sources should be written in the second person, not the first person, as most of the links do here. Therefore, most of these links don't comply with WP:MEDRS by reason of being primary sources. 71.91.178.54 ( talk) 00:19, 26 August 2018 (UTC)

The DEA has announced plans to reclassify CBD as Schedule V, effective tomorrow (September 28th, 2018).
It appears that the legal status on the sidebar has been updated already, but the section of the article for legal status in the United States has not yet been updated. It seems as though some significant re-wording is in order. I wonder if anybody is willing to discuss a better way to phrase this section in light of this change in U.S. legal status. Personally I think it would be worth leaving much of the current wording in place, but simply changing present tense to past tense, in order to explain the history as to why it was able to be sold despite its previous Schedule I status.

The only reference given for this flimsy "section" (it was literally one sentence) does not specifically mention the legal status of the compound cannabidiol, and for that matter, neither does the legislation. Additionally, as the law in Canada did not in fact legalize cannabis across the board (that is to say, it only removed criminal sanction for so-called "legal cannabis"; in other words, only that which is taxed and regulated by the government, despite the black market still dominating sales), that means that most of the cannabis (and thus, cannabidiol) in Canada remains illegal.

Hi, @ Zefr:, thank you for the correction. I see this paper was published in 2015 so I'm a bit confused. Is any of it of use to us? Do we normally reject the entire source because they refer to a study from the '70s? Thanks in advance. petrarchan47 คุ ก 05:19, 8 January 2019 (UTC)
Sativex, a 1:1 THC/CBD formulation, does not belong in this article. I removed its mention and source (as there is no effort to parse out effects of CBD from THC, and is therefore of no use to us). My edit was reverted by @ Smartse: with "don't follow your logic of this only discussing pure CBD and it is seems a bit silly to omit the first cannabis-based medicine."
The misunderstanding is that this isn't about "cannabis-based medicine" (which includes THC, like Sativex). You may be thinking of the "cannabinoid" article where its mention is warranted. This article is dedicated "pure CBD" medicine. It's easy to get them confused.

I strongly agree with @Petrarchan47. Sativex is in no sense synonymous with CBD, far from it, and the differences are not to be toyed with. THC has significant known dangers whereas CBD doesn't:

While it may appear to be simple content blanking of well-sourced material on my part, that was not my intention.

Researchers compared the potential therapeutic properties of "purified CBD" with full-plant, CBD-rich cannabis extracts for treating refractory epilepsy. CBD-rich extracts were found to have a "better therapeutic potential" and fewer adverse effects than purified CBD. The daily average dose for people using full-plant extracts was more than four times lower than for those using purified CBD, indicating a possible synergistic ( entourage) effect between CBD and other plant compounds.

The article states "State and local governments may also regulate CBD. For example, the Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources issued a rule in June 2019 aligning state CBD regulations with FDA regulations." This would appear to most likely be incorrect, if the federal courts use the preemption doctrine given the U.S. constitution's interstate commerce and dormant commerce clauses, thus rendering such state laws unconstitutional on their face, though there aren't any cases yet which are completely on point. This is also certainly not true in the state of Texas, given Texas' House Bill [ 1325], which was signed by the governor into law on June 10, 2019, and which inserts language into the law that local governments may not regulate consumable hemp products, with regulation being reserved to the state explicitly. 66.90.153.184 ( talk) 00:56, 9 October 2019 (UTC)
The updated (April 2019) FDA regulatory status concerning the approval and marketing of cannabidiol has not changed from this talk page discussion in February 2019, particularly concerning the 2018 Farm Bill. Cannabidiol remains under Schedule I of the Controlled Substance Act, and the FDA has "not approved a marketing application for cannabis for the treatment of any disease or condition. FDA has, however, approved one cannabis-derived and three cannabis-related drug products. These approved products are only available with a prescription from a licensed healthcare provider." The FDA document has a section entitled How does the 2018 Farm Bill define hemp? What does it mean for FDA-regulated products? in which it states that cannabis-derived products (cannabidiol included) remain under the FDA approval process, which as of May 2019, has allowed marketing only of Epidiolex for rare forms of childhood epilepsy, with no other specific cannabidiol products approved. Concerning the 2018 Farm Bill, the FDA states under paragraph 8: "Even if a CBD product meets the definition of "hemp" under the 2018 Farm Bill (see Question #2), it still must comply with all other applicable laws, including the FD&C Act." Further, under paragraph 9: "Can THC or CBD products be sold as dietary supplements? No. Based on available evidence, FDA has concluded that THC and CBD products are excluded from the dietary supplement definition." -- Zefr ( talk) 18:29, 18 May 2019 (UTC)
From Lowell Schiller, JD, Principal Associate Commissioner for FDA Policy: So what does this mean in practice? Which specific rules and authorities are relevant to hemp, and how do they apply? The answer depends on what type of product you’re talking about. As I said earlier, FDA regulates a lot of different types of products, and the rules vary by product type. For example, if you have a product containing hemp, or a hemp derivative like hemp seeds or CBD, and you market it as a human drug, then it’s subject to different rules than if you market it as a food, or a cosmetic, or a veterinary product – product types that all have their own rules. And if the hemp is developed into a product that FDA doesn’t regulate, like biodiesel or clothes or jewelry, then there may not be a role for FDA anywhere in the life cycle of the product, all the way from the farm to the ultimate end user. We recognize the need to provide clear answers regarding how specifically our authorities apply to different types of hemp products, particularly given the incredible amount of interest in these products. This is especially true when it comes to CBD. Recently, we’ve seen an enormous surge of interest in this substance, and the level of excitement is palpable. At FDA, we’re excited too. We see significant potential in this substance, including potential clinical uses.
Here, under 6. Legal status of CBD: "Cannabidiol is not listed separately in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR); it is controlled in Schedule I by definition as a "derivative" or "component" of marijuana (21 USC 802). This is also true of other individual cannabinoids. Only THC is listed separately in Schedule I. According to a position statement from the DEA Office of Public Affairs, CBD from any source is a Schedule I substance." Also a good discussion in that article of a) 6.2. Hemp as a source of CBD; b) 6.4. The scope of the Farm Bill, which enables research on CBD from hemp, but requires the same stringent procedures "that human therapeutic research involving CBD would have to be conducted under an IND and approved by an Institutional Review Board;" and c) 6.6. What is the likelihood that cannabis or CBD will be rescheduled? Note from this section: rescheduling CBD from Schedule 1 for a therapeutic use will require a New Drug Application, typically a decade-long process under FDA purview to successful completion, although with a high failure rate. As extracted CBD is non-patentable (synthesized CBD may be), who would pay to develop it as a drug? -- Zefr ( talk) 13:24, 18 October 2019 (UTC)
The History section currently has this statement:
What is meant by "studied" here? The study of cannabis resin, not CBD, could have happened that early, but it seems impossible for specific research on any specific substance like THC, CBD, or CBN to happen at that early time. CBD was first isolated in 1940, so it seems that content needs some work.
I'd like to know which wording in the source backs up this idea.
The source does mention the isolation of cannabinol (CBN), a different substance than CBD, in 1896, ergo the late 19th century, so specific research on cannabinol could only happen after that date, just as specific research on CBD could only happen after 1940. -- BullRangifer ( talk) 16:28, 31 July 2019 (UTC)

Scientists and pharmacists made Cannabis extracts in the 19th Century (1800's). In 1850 the Societe de Pharmacie held a contest to isolate the active ingredients in hashish. The first words for the oily aromatic syrup were termed Cannabinon, Cannabinol, cannabnine, etc.. Alcohol extracts and tinctures have been used for many centuries and so have evaporated tinctures.
