Cannabidiol Shows Promise as a Treatment for Cannabis Use Disorder: Boston University School of Medicine
Oh, the Irony! Of course, in the naturally occurring and naturally growing, non-engineered cannabis plant (which no longer exists on the planet – other than perhaps in regions not yet traversed by humans) Cannabidiol (CBD) is the naturally occurring agonist to the psychosis inducing THC compound in cannabis. Naturally growing cannabis historically had around 2% THC, with naturally occurring CBD ‘tempering’ the psychoactive properties of THC.
This investigation into this particular therapeutic potential, is just that, only a potential. However, with the growing research on the negatives of CBD, this may also prove ‘one step forward and two back?’
However, the breathtaking (pardon the pun) irony of all this is that the industry sells you the psychosis inducing cannabis product, then when you are dependent, sells you the ‘helper’ to manage it – making money going into the user stream, and making money while you attempt to exit the user stream.
Great business model! Especially for the addition for profit industry that is.
What action negates this entire mess? Not using in the first place! But apparently that is not an option in our public and mental health ‘advancing’, yet drug permitting culture?
