    This document reviews evidence that cannabidiol (CBD), a constituent of Cannabis sativa, has potential antipsychotic properties. Several animal and human studies show that CBD reduces anxiety and psychotic symptoms induced by THC. CBD appears to block the effects of THC through its own pharmacological actions, rather than by altering THC levels. Further evidence from case reports and clinical trials suggests CBD may be a safe and effective treatment for schizophrenia. Future research on CBD's antipsychotic effects in other psychotic conditions such as bipolar disorder is warranted.
