I think that it was well-deserved status to finally be recognized for what it could do. Project CBD: Did you ever imagine it would get to this point where CBD would be this cultural artifact? So at that time, along with interest in other components, I began writing about CBD, probably first in 2001.

And at that time the company was also funding basic research to investigate additional attributes of CBD, particularly as an anti-inflammatory and as an analgesic, a painkiller, but particularly its ability to reduce the side effects of THC. So, it was like an equal partner to THC in their development program. When I began my work with GW Pharmaceuticals in 1998, they had been prescient to realize that this was a very important component of a properly constituted cannabis preparation to be used therapeutically. I was then quite aware of its potential medically, which had been, again, largely forgotten outside of Professor Mechoulam and his acolytes and perhaps the Brazilians who had studied the effects as an anticonvulsant. It was apparent to me that a very important pharmacological agent had been overlooked – that being CBD. But, as developments accrued and there was the discovery of the endocannabinoid system it rekindled my interest in it in the mid 90s when I really delved back into the pharmacology of cannabis again.

Certainly in medical school there was no attention to this topic at all. But at that time it was relegated to the back seat, at best, in relation to THC, which garnered all the attention. That was one of my interests in my early education. Russo: I was aware of the psychopharmacological effects and other effects of cannabidiol from the early 70s. How, as a researcher who is looking at CBD much earlier than the culture has embraced it – how do you relate to this cultural phenomenon? It’s become a huge fad, a global phenomenon. Russo I recall reading your articles in various scientific journals about CBD – cannabidiol – many years ago, and yet today now we’re in the midst of a CBD explosion. Ethan Russo, noted neurologist, a researcher in the cannabis field for many years, and author of quite a few peer-reviewed scientific papers. I’m Martin Lee with Project CBD and today we will be speaking to Dr. Project CBD: Welcome to another edition of Cannabis Conversations.
