Cannabis (drug)
unknown efficacy in epilepsy [1] [2]
The Cannabis sativa plant contains([3]) more than 400 compounds, of which 100 are known as phytocannabinoids. The two cannabinoids with the highest concentrations in cannabis are delta9-tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9-THC), responsible for most of the psychotomimetic effects of the drug, and cannabidiol (CBD), the most common non-psychoactive cannabinoid [4]
