- CBD is derived as an oil or a powder from marijuana plants. These can be used to make creams and gels. They can be packaged into capsules and ingested, or they can be applied to the skin.

The Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act of 1985 (NDPS Act) prohibits the use of cannabis for recreational purposes.

CBD oil that has been licenced under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act of 1940 can be used legally. Cannabis as a medicine, on the other hand, is not widely used in India. The recent issue in Bollywood regarding drug use has further stigmatised CBD use.There isn’t enough solid scientific evidence to show that CBD oil may treat cancer safely and efficiently.
