Canabidiol is two components found in Cannabis sativa, a plant that has been used for its medicinal properties since 2700 BC. as treatment of dors, tuberculosis, malaria, epilepsy, among others. Currently, the product is approved by ANVISA in various administrations and is sold in pharmacies based on medical prescriptions, but it has still not been found in Brazil (BRAZIL, 2019).
