Not to be confused with cannabinol or cannabidiol.

Cannabinodiol (CBDL) is one of many phytocannabinoids present in the plant Cannabis sativa, otherwise known as marijuana. Despite being present in low concentrations,[1] it is relevant for being one of three known psychoactive cannabinoids found in the plant's flowers, although at lower concentrations than THC and cannabinol. It is a constituent of Lebanese hashish. The chemical nomenclature and preferred IUPAC name is 2,6-dihydroxy-6′-isopropenyl-3′-methyl-4-n-pentyl-biphenyl, the aromatic analogue of cannabidiol. It can occur as a product of the photochemical conversion of cannabinol.[2]
