"The intense craving is what drives the drug use," said Yasmin Hurd, the lead researcher on the study and director of the Addiction Institute of Mount Sinai."If we can have the medications that can dampen that [craving], that can greatly reduce the chance of relapse and overdose risk." The available medications for opioid addiction, such as buprenorphine and methadone, act in a similar way, curbing cravings. But they are still not widely used.
"CBD not only manages the anxiety and cue/craving cycle, it also diminishes the original pain and inflammation that leads to opiate use in the first place," said Holland, who was not involved with the new study. Hurd said there are still a lot of questions to answer in the next study, including the best dose, how many times it needed to be administered and the mechanism in the brain that is working to diminish the cravings.But she was optimistic about the implications.

CBD can help dampen cravings for opioids .
CBD is often used as a supplement as a prophylactic medicine.
Excelent new, would be of great aid for all those who suffer heroin addiction and overall for who arround them
It's not even addictive; I've tried most mainstream drugs. Heroin is like doing MDMA with full serotonin, but MDMA give euphoria and a lot of other things, for a few hours, while Heroin gives you just euphoria (same as MDMA) for a few minutes.
Gateway drug 🤔😂
Oh you KNOW Republican's in their pretending to care about the opioid crisis will jack up the price a thousand fold now!
