Cannabidiol (CBD) is a cannabinoid and medication used to treat seizures in tuberous sclerosis complex, Lennox-Gastaut and Dravet syndrome. It is used together with clobazam. It is taken by mouth. Evidence is insufficient to support its use for anxiety, psychosis, or pain as of 2019.

Common side effects include agitation, diarrhea, tiredness, trouble sleeping, and rash. Other side effects may include liver problems and suicide. Use in pregnancy may harm the baby. Its mechanism of action is not entirely clear. It does not have the same psychoactive properties as tetrahydrocannabinol (THC).

Cannabidiol was discovered in 1940. It was approved for medical use in the United States in 2018 and Europe in 2019. In the United States 300 ml of 100 mg/ml solution costs about 4,600 USD as of 2021. It made from the Cannabis sativa plant.
