CBD Shows Promise in Alleviating Cannabis Withdrawal Symptoms in Feasibility Study

6 months ago

• A feasibility study at UNSW Sydney investigated cannabidiol (CBD) for managing cannabis withdrawal symptoms during inpatient detoxification. • The study used a single-subject repeated measures design, assessing participants at baseline and after CBD intervention over a week. • CBD was found to be acceptable and safe, even at doses up to 1200mg/day, with no reported adverse events. • The positive results support further research, including double-blind randomized controlled trials, to confirm CBD's effectiveness.
