Before we talk how CBD can curb drug and alcohol addiction, we need to know the rate at which the alcohol and drug users are going up in the nation. Here is the list of few studies, showing alcohol and drug addiction rate in the nation:
So on and so forth…. There are so many such studies and researches which clearly shows how people especially kids ages 12 and older are getting indulged into drug and alcohol addiction and spoiling their future completely. This is high-time for that matter.
Well, research are still on to find alternative therapies to combat addiction to synthetic opioids, drugs like tobacco and cocaine, and alcohol. There are so many pharmaceutical drugs available, and are effective in treating addiction to some extent. So far, Cannabidiol (CBD) a natural and non-psychoactive extract from the cannabis plant has a strong healing potential.
CBD basically interacts with the pain, behavior, and addiction related receptors in the brain. It also interacts with the brain’s neurotransmitters.
CBD has analgesic and anxiolytic properties, which means it is able to reduce pain, anxiety, and other symptoms associated with drug addiction. CBD can reduce or mitigate the brain’s response to addiction triggers such as anxiety, pain, and stress that too without creating the artificial high associated with opioids. CBD’s analgesic properties synergize with opioids and “act as opioid sparing agents,” which ultimately reduce the pain and pain symptoms, and also helps to reduce opioid doses.
Smoke –free CBD has healing properties along with the potential to intervene addictive disorders. Addictive behaviors can be classified in three distinct phases:
CBD treatments during all three stages include:
Research shows that CBD reduces the positive “rewarding effects” which comes due to opioid addiction during the intoxication phase.
CBD treatment for cannabis can completely mitigate significant withdrawal, anxiety and dissociative symptoms during the treatment. Additionally, using cannabinoids synergistically and harmoniously with opioids act as opioid sparing agents.
According to a study, CBD is effective in treating opioid relapse phase. It effectively reduces relapse provoked by anxiety, stress, and drug cues. Treatment with CBD not only reduces anxiety and improves impulsiveness, but also provides long-lasting effects alongwith benefitting the addict across several vulnerability states.

Well I personally use CBD to get off booze. I also find micro-smoking an indica in the evenings works better for me with some sweets like chocolate, it helps curb my thoughts from alcohol. Micro smoking is just a small hit every 10-20 minutes. Not even to get you stoned but enough to keep you lightly buzzed. Especially the first 5 days off hooch, you need to commit to those sugar withdrawals with chocolate and caffeine or something else like licorice
