Cannabicyclol (CBL) is a little-studied phytocannabinoid that occurs naturally in the cannabis plant.
Very little is known about CBL or its potential in medicine. Most existing research into CBL has focused on the structure and biosynthesis of the molecule itself, and the few studies that have looked into its use in specific medical applications have not yielded promising results.
