This project aimed to study the relationship between cannabidiol (CBD) and levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) present in N2 strain C. elegans. It was found that six-hour treatments of two different concentrations of CBD produced inconclusive data regarding the impact of CBD on ROS. Due to the exceedingly high variability in the data, no conclusions could be drawn, suggesting the necessity of further experimentation. Interestingly though, the CBD treatment appeared to increase worm longevity as the CBD samples yielded a higher count of live worms relative to the control samples.
