Cannabisol was a cannabis-derived medication in the early 20th century in Sweden. The drug was used to treat depression until the 1950s.[1] The 1934 Year Book of the American Pharmaceutical Association states, "A 1.2 p.c. solution of standardized cannabinol, the active constituent of Cannabis indica, is given in doses of 8 to 20 drops three times a day for depression."[2] The Natural Library of Medicine states, "Cannabisol (1), a unique dimer of Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9-THC) with a methylene bridge, was isolated from Cannabis sativa.[3] This is the first example of a C-bridged dimeric cannabinoid. The structure of 1 was unambiguously deduced by HRESIMS, GCMS, and NMR spectroscopy. A plausible biogenesis of 1 is described."[4][5]
