Chewing Gum as a Delivery System for Cannabidiol: A Commentary
Despite a long-standing widespread history of chewing gum use in general, there is sparse experience and even less clinical research on the effects and possible clinical value of incorporating cannabidiol or any other cannabinoid in a chewing gum product. Despite promising reports, research gaps remain, particularly in understanding the absorption mechanisms, dosing precision, and long-term safety of cannabinoid-based chewing gum. Addressing these challenges will position cannabinoid-infused chewing gum as a versatile and effective drug delivery system for a range of health conditions.
