Overview

CANNABIDIOL (CBD) What is cannabidiol?  CBD is an active ingredient found in the cannabis plant that does not contain THC (the component of marijuana that produces a high). According to the 2018 Farm Bill, hemp-derived products that are less than 0.3% THC are federally legal; therefore, CBD is considered legal at the federal level, but individual states may have different regulations. The FDA has currently approved one CBD product (Epidiolex), which is an oral solution that can be prescribed for certain types of epilepsy, such as Lennox-Gastaut syndrome and Dravet syndrome. CBD products can come in many forms and strengths, such as capsules, oil solutions, sublingual formulations, and sprays.   How can cannabidiol help alleviate certain long COVID symptoms.
