Low to moderate doses of CBD might reduce some of the paranoia, anxiety, [18] and reduction of hippocampal volumes that the current high potency THC marijuana (in the last decades, THC content increased and CBD content decreased) can cause, if the CBD substitutes a part of the THC dose.
Kavain has anticonvulsive properties, attenuating vascular smooth muscle contraction through interactions with voltage-dependent Na + and Ca 2+ channels. [1] How this effect is mediated, and to what extent this mechanism is involved in the anxiolytic and analgesic effects of kavalactones on the central nervous system, is unknown.
CBN was the first cannabis compound to be isolated from cannabis extract in the late 1800s. Its structure and chemical synthesis were achieved by 1940 [ 34 ] , followed by some of the first pre-clinical research studies to determine the effects of individual cannabis-derived compounds in vivo .

Cannabis concentrates contain high THC levels that range from 40% to over 90%, [ 1 ] [ 2 ] stronger in THC content than high-grade marijuana, which normally measures around ...
Efforts to isolate the active ingredients in cannabis were made in the 19th century. [87] Cannabidiol was studied in 1940 from Minnesota wild hemp [87] and Egyptian Cannabis indica resin. [88] [89] The chemical formula of CBD was proposed from a method for isolating it from wild hemp. [87] Its structure and stereochemistry were determined in ...
