Cannabis is the most commonly used drug in the United States after alcohol and nicotine. With ongoing policy changes, cannabis accessibility and use will increase. Cannabis contains phytocannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids; concentrations of each vary according to chemovar and cannabis-derived product preparation. The two most studied phytocannabinoids are delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD). THC is the primary psychoactive constituent contributing to the potential therapeutic and adverse effects of cannabis. Adverse effects attributed to THC include cognitive impairment, intoxication, anxiogenic effects, psychotic-like experiences, abuse liability, and development of cannabis use disorder. These effects increase risks associated with non-medical cannabis use and limit the clinical utility of THC when used for medical purposes. CBD lacks the adverse effects of THC. Early clinical studies point to CBD’s anxiolytic and antipsychotic properties–effects that oppose two risks associated with THC [1]. Hypotheses rooted in preclinical findings have spurred interest in the potential for cannabis constituents to interact with THC, mitigating THC’s risks and enhancing its potential medicinal properties (ie, THC-sparing effects). To date, the overwhelming share of clinical research probing THC-sparing effects of cannabis constituents focuses on interactions between THC and CBD, which has generated mixed findings. Nonetheless, a significant segment of the cannabis market consists of CBD-THC combination products. These products are commonly sold according to the ratio of CBD to THC doses in each unit; popular ratios range from 1: 1 to 50: 1 with the suggestion that higher CBD: THC ratios may be “safer.” Here we comment on a recent clinical study probing CBD’s THC-sparing effects, describe how findings impact the field, and highlight future research designed to inform medical and non-medical cannabis use.In this issue of Neuropsychopharmacology, Englund et al. report on one of the first controlled drug administration studies to systematically assess the THC-sparing effects of co-administered CBD across a range of CBD: THC ratios typically available in commercial markets (0: 1, 1: 1, 2: 1, 3: 1)[2]. While holding the THC dose (10mg) constant and increasing the CBD dose (0, 10, 20, 30mg), the adverse effects of THC administered alone were
