The World Health Organization (WHO) Expert Committee on Drug Dependence (ECDD) has recommended that preparations considered to be pure CBD should not be scheduled within the International Drug Control Conventions. The ECDD also recommended moving forward with Critical Reviews of: cannabis plant and resin, extracts and tinctures of cannabis, delta-9-THC and isomers of THC. This recommendation on CBD is a solid first step in reviewing the science and updating the status of international cannabis control.
