(HealthDay News) -- Cannabidiol, commonly known as CBD oil, is a chemical in marijuana.
It's increasingly popular among people looking for muscle relaxation and anxiety reduction. But researchers still have a lot to learn about the substance.
MedlinePlus reminds consumers that:
There is insufficient evidence on CBD's effectiveness for most conditions.
Some medications cannot be taken with CBD.
Side effects range from dry mouth to drowsiness.
CBD is not the psychoactive component of marijuana.
