Abstract

Changes in the legality of marijuana for medicinal use and the further legalization for recreational use have brought about renewed interest in the properties of the cannabis plant. Cannabidiol (CBD), a derivative of the cannabis plant, has emerged as a widely available panacea. The purpose of this review is to discuss the differences in the active ingredients of the cannabis plant as well as the mechanisms by which CBD may provide benefit. In addition, the evidence for pain management and anxiety are evaluated. Finally, safety, tolerability, and legal issues surrounding CBD are examined.
