Cannabis is one of the most widely used recreational drugs worldwide, with an estimated 178 million people in the age group from 15 to 64 using it at least once in 2012. Cannabis has been classified as a prohibited narcotic in most nations since the United Nations’ Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs, which was ratified in 1961. Adding CBD to food or calling it a dietary supplement is presently prohibited.
