Abstract: A high dose of ∆ 9 -tetrahydrocannabinol, the main Cannabis sativa (cannabis) component, induces anxiety and psychotic-like symptoms in healthy volunteers. These effects of ∆ 9 -tetrahydrocannabinol are significantly reduced by cannabidiol (CBD), a cannabis constituent which is devoid of the typical effects of the plant.

Studies in animal models and in healthy volunteers clearly suggest an anxiolytic-like effect of … Show more

“…Estes possíveis efeitos terapêuticos são justificados pela literatura como decorrentes de certas propriedades farmacológicas tanto do THC quanto do canabidiol (CBD) -entre elas, pode-se citar a ação anticonvulsivante, ansiolítica e antipsicótica do CBD e o efeito antidepressivo do THC 35,[56][57][58][59] .…”
