Cannabidiol, commonly known as CBD oil, is a chemical in marijuana.

It’s increasingly popular among people looking for muscle relaxation and anxiety reduction. But researchers still have a lot to learn about the substance.

MedlinePlus reminds consumers that:

• There is insufficient evidence on CBD’s effectiveness for most conditions.
• Some medications cannot be taken with CBD.
• Side effects range from dry mouth to drowsiness.
• CBD is not the psychoactive component of marijuana.
• Proper dosages have yet to be defined.
