"Neurological Aspects of Medical Use of Cannabidiol"

BACKGROUND:

Cannabidiol (CBD) is among the major secondary metabolites of Cannabis devoid of the delta-9-tetra-hydrocannabinol psychoactive effects. It is a resorcinol-based compound with a broad spectrum of potential therapeutic properties, including neuroprotective effects in numerous pathological conditions. CBD neuroprotection is due to its antioxidant and antiinflammatory activities and the modulation of a large number of brain biological targets (receptors, channels) involved in the development and maintenance of neurodegenerative diseases.

Cannabis has a similarity with massage in that its use as a medical treatment spans far back into history, having been used in China from 2700 BC and India from 1000 BC. Cannabis plants produce a resin that is loaded with chemicals known as cannabinoids.
