This compound is formed by the method of decarboxylation (i.e., the removal of carbon dioxide) of cannabidiolic acid (CBDa) belonging to the cannabinoid family of cannabinoids, which has been known since antiquity for various uses. Cannabidiolic acid is found in high percentages in hemp fiber varieties (Cannabis Sativa L., or hemp), i.e. those varieties intended for industrial use as they contain a low content of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Cannabidiol is one of those cannabinoids that “contributed” to the legalization of cannabis thanks to its beneficial properties in various diseases, but also because it is an ingredient without psychoactive action and therefore much safer for sharing.
