Not to be confused with Cannabinol, a separate cannabinoid.
Cannabidiol (CBD; pronounced /?kæn?b?'da?.?l/) is a cannabinoid found in Cannabis. It is a major constituent of the plant, representing up to 40% in its extracts.[2]

It has displayed sedative effects in animal tests.[3] Some research, however, indicates that CBD can increase alertness.[4] It may decrease the rate of clearance of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) from the body, perhaps by interfering with the metabolism of THC in the liver.

Medically, it has been shown to relieve convulsion, inflammation, anxiety, and nausea, as well as inhibit cancer cell growth.[5] Recent studies have shown cannabidiol to be as effective as atypical antipsychotics in treating schizophrenia.[6] Studies have also shown that it may relieve symptoms of dystonia.[7][8]

In November 2007, it was reported that CBD reduces growth of aggressive human breast cancer cells in vitro and reduces their invasiveness.

First, you can't consume an entire cannabis plant in one day.

Second, juicing the plant will not extract the cannabinoids efficiently.

Third, although CBD is very important, Its not the only cannabinoid that is responsible for curing cancer, THC as well as CBN is very important and so are the other 85 cannabinoids or so. Its the mix that produces the best results.
