<br/>The lipid bilayer of the cellular membrane, a selectively permeable system composed of various phospholipids, regulates what can enter and leave a cell. With the new surge of users of CBD oil comes research that investigates its metabolic pathways and absorption rates. Cannabidiol, which was extracted and identified via IR spectroscopy, was analyzed via Langmuir monolayers to determine its interactions with phospholipids that play key roles in the bilayer. A substantial difference in phospholipid interactions was shown to occur when cannabidiol was introduced into the system. Future research to further investigate how cannabidiol affects brain chemistry will involve Langmuir monolayer studies with brain lipid extract. It is thought that these findings will help for people who use this substance to understand how their bodies intake and process this compound and its interaction with their body.<br/>
