Description

Antioxidant activity has been reported to be a general property of the phenolic components of marijuana. Unlike Δ⁹-THC, cannabidiol can be administered at relatively high doses without undesired toxic or psychological effects.¹ Cannabidiol at a concentration of 10 µM was neuroprotective against both excitatory neurotransmitter (glutamate) and oxidant (hydroperoxide) induced neurotoxicity.²
