Cannabis sativa L. and Its Extracts : Regulation of Cannabidiol in the European Union and United Kingdom Mark J. Tallon JOURNAL OF DIETARY SUPPLEMENTS, 2020, VOL. 17, NO. 5, 503–516 Doi : 10.1080/19390211.2020.1795044 ABSTRACT The lawful sale of Cannabis sativa L. and its extracts including Cannabidiol is not harmonized under European Union (EU) law.

The regulation of such substances not only spans EU and Member State food laws but also international conventions on illicit drug and psychoactive substances. An understanding of the laws [...]

Kotra Cannabis and Cannabinoid Research, 2019, Volume X, Number X, 2019 Mary Ann Liebert, Inc. DOI: 10.1089/can.2018.0067 Abstract Introduction : Phytocannabinoids, characteristic compounds produced by medical cannabis, interact with cannabinoid (CB) receptors (CB1 and CB2) as well as other receptor systems to exhibit their corresponding pharmacological effects. In their natural form, CBs such as D9-tetrahydrocannabinolic acid and cannabidiolic acid are inactive at these receptors, while their decarboxylated forms (D9 tetrahydrocannabinol and cannabidiol, respectively) are potent ligands at CB receptors. Thus, extraction and [...]
