Human research on CBD has focused on two rare forms of epilepsy: Dravet syndrome and Lennox-Gastaut syndrome.[1] In humans and animals, CBD has shown promise as a treatment for a wide variety of ailments, notably anxiety,[2][3][4][5][6] depression,[4] pain,[7][8][9][10] inflammation,[11][12] and cancer.[13]
Unlike cannabis and THC, CBD doesn’t impair coordination, judgment, or memory.[14] In a Critical Review Report published in 2018, the World Health Organization concluded that there was “no evidence of recreational use of CBD or any public health-related problems associated with the use of pure CBD".
