Abstract

The use of cannabis for medicinal purposes is deeply rooted in history, dating back to ancient times. While there has been a strong push for legalizing medicinal cannabis and research, conclusive evidence regarding the short- and long-term health effects (harms and benefits) of cannabis use remains elusive because of a high variability when cannabinoids are administered orally or by inhalation. Transdermal delivery of cannabinoids could allow a constant, defined release of these active ingredients. The main goal of this project was to develop innovative pharmaceutical forms in order to ensure a constant release of cannabinoids to the patient. By using a synthesized model molecule, desoxy-CBD, innovative vesicular systems were developed, characterized, and compared with vesicles loaded with cannabis extracts.
