Cannabidiol (CBD) is one of at least 85 cannabinoids found in cannabis.[2] It is a major constituent of the plant, second to THC, and represents up to 40% in its extracts.[3] Compared with THC, cannabidiol is psychoactive, and is considered to have a wider scope of medical applications than THC,[citation needed] including to epilepsy,[4] multiple sclerosis spasms,[5] anxiety disorders, schizophrenia,[6] nausea, convulsion and inflammation, as well as inhibiting cancer cell growth.[7] CBD may decrease the rate of THC clearance from the body, perhaps by interfering with the metabolism of THC in the liver. Cannabidiol has displayed sedative effects in animal tests.[8] Other research indicates that CBD increases alertness.[9] CBD has been shown to reduce growth of aggressive human breast cancer cells in vitro, and to reduce their invasiveness.[10]
