Determination of the Antibiotic Properties of Cannabidiol

Abstract

Patricia Duarte

Marijuana has been used for centuries as therapy for very diverse health issues which displayed various pathologies, from anorexia to cancer including almost all kinds of inflammatory diseases. However, the use of cannabis as therapy generates much controversy as there is conclusive evidence of its beneficial properties. Also it entails unwanted effects due to psychoactive power of some of its main components. Hence, this ongoing work focuses on finding ways to administer cannabinoids, specifically, cannabidiol (CBD), without the presence of any of the psychoactive compounds. Extensive study in this field could be used amicably and we may also find ways to evaluate the effectiveness of this kind of treatment.
