“…In fact, CBD is described as “non-psychotropic” [ 45 ] or even “anti-psychotropic” [ 11 , 12 ] as it does not show effects comparable to Δ 9 -THC, neither in studies on animals as already reported by Mechoulam et al [ 46 ] in 1970 nor in humans as reviewed by Iseger et al [ 12 ]. However, a multitude of psychological and physiological effects (some examples are anti-inflammatory, antiemetic, antipsychotic, anticarcinogenic, anxiolytic and analgesic effects, effects on appetite, positive effects on multiple sclerosis and spinal cord, as well as on Gilles de la Tourette’s syndrome, epilepsy, glaucoma, diabetes, Parkinson disease and dystonia) were associated with CBD and reviewed in a number of articles [ 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 ]. In agreement with the hypothesis by Compton et al [ 44 ], a physiological explanation for the different pharmacology was presented by Pertwee et al [ 47 ], when they reported on the unexpectedly high potency of CBD to act as the antagonist of CB1/CB2 receptors in cells or tissues expressing these receptors.…”
