With the recent rise in the popularity of cannabidiol (CBD) around the world, there

different dosage forms including oils, used to treat a wide variety of lifestyle diseases
and medical conditions. Despite the increasing availability of CBD and its products,
there are many controversies and uncertainties regarding the legality and regulation
thereof in various countries. The main question is whether CBD is regarded as a
medicine, health supplement or merely a foodstuff.
