Abstract: 
This article reviews recent research on cannabinoids that mediate anti-inflammatory effects through cannabinoid receptors. Inflammation is involved in many of the diseases. Chronic inflammation can be caused by cancer, autoimmune disorders, and untreated infections. Some factors like smoking, obesity, or stress may also be caused by chronic inflammation. Early researchers show that Cannabidiol (CBD) has a significant role in reducing inflammation. Cannabis sativa is most commonly used for its medicinal and anti-inflammatory properties. This article focuses primarily on using cannabinoids as a new class of anti-inflammatory agents against specific autoimmune diseases and inflammatory responses caused by cell-mediated immune compounds or activated T cells.
