CBD is one of the most widely used recreational drugs worldwide. It comes in many variations that have been used both for medicinal purposes e.g. in the treatment or management of various diseases.
The earliest evidence that CBD compounds could be used as anticonvulsants (seizure-treating drugs) came from animal studies in the 1970s. CBD oils were tested, with both shown to possess strong anticonvulsant properties.
It is now plain that CBD has many proven beneficial effects on health, in particular in the treatment and management of epilepsy and seizure-like activity. This is reflected in the UK government’s decision to allow the usage of CBD oil for such purposes, despite its recreational use retaining Class B status.
