Overview

This review summarizes cannabidiol’s effects on epilepsy and mental health in adolescents, indicating regulatory concerns.

Key Points

  • Cannabidiol may have anti-anxiety and anti-convulsant properties, but its long-term safety in adolescents remains unclear.
  • Current FDA approval for CBD is limited to epilepsy treatment; other indications lack substantial evidence.
  • Legislative changes have increased CBD availability, raising concerns about unregulated products and their safety.
  • The potential impact on brain development during adolescence highlights the need for caution in CBD use.
