CBD is the second most abundant component of the cannabis plant after tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Unlike THC, CBD does not get users high, but there is some evidence suggesting that it might have anti-anxiety, anticonvulsant, anti-inflammatory and immune boosting, antioxidant effects.~Currently, the only CBD product approved by the Food and Drug Administration is a prescription oil called Epidiolex (Greenwich Biosciences, Inc. 2018). It is approved to treat two types of epilepsy. Aside from Epidiolex, state laws on the use of CBD vary. While CBD is being studied as a treatment for a wide range of conditions, including Parkinson's disease, schizophrenia, diabetes, multiple sclerosis and anxiety, and addiction, research supporting the drug's benefits is still limited.~CBD use carries some risks. Though it is often well-tolerated, CBD can cause side effects, such as dry mouth, diarrhea, reduced appetite, drowsiness, and fatigue. CBD can also interact with other medications you are taking, such as blood thinners.~Another cause for concern is the unreliability of the purity and dosage of CBD in products. A recent study of 84 CBD products bought online showed that more than a quarter of the products contained less CBD than labeled. In addition, THC was found in 18 products. If you plan to use products containing CBD, talk to your primary health care provider.~People take cannabidiol by mouth for anxiety, bipolar disorder, a muscle disorder called dystonia, seizures, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, and schizophrenia.~Cannabidiol is possibly safe when taken by mouth and appropriately in adults. Cannabidiol doses of up to 300 mg daily have been used safely for up to 6 months. Higher doses of 1200-1500 mg daily have been used safely for up to 4 weeks. Cannabidiol sprays used under the tongue have been used in doses of 2.5 mg for up to 2 weeks.
