N2 - The use of medicinal cannabis and cannabidiol (CBD) oil internationally is continuing to propagate, with the CBD market blazing a path to an estimated value of US$23.7 billion by 2023. This, coupled with the promises of its therapeutic potential regularly doing the rounds on social media, it is not surprising that there are increasing numbers of Australian patients and practitioners that are wanting to learn more and obtain access. This commentary shares a brief overview of CBD’s chemistry, pharmacology, therapeutic uses, workplace health and safety implications, potential side effects, drug driving laws and drug interactions, along with the current regulatory and legal framework for its therapeutic use in Australia.
