CBD and Cancer
Cannabidiol (CBD) is one of many cannabinoids that can be found in hemp and marijuana, two types of cannabis plants. CBD may help people with cancer manage some symptoms of the disease, as well as side effects of treatment.
Scientists are also looking into how CBD could aid cancer treatment, but more research is needed before any conclusions can be made. There’s solid evidence supporting the idea that cannabinoids can reduce tumor growth in animal models of cancer. CBD may also enhance uptake or increase the potencyTrusted Source of certain drugs used to treat cancer.

Cannabis, or marijuana, has enough tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) to get you high, but hemp does not. CBD is considered psychoactive, but it’s non-impairing and non-euphoric — unlike THC.
