Study: Cannabis Compound Reduces Cigarette Consumption In Tobacco Smokers

London, United Kingdom: The inhalation of the non-psychoactive cannabinoid CBD (cannabidiol) significantly mitigates tobacco smokers' desire for cigarettes, according to clinical trial data published online in the journal Addictive Behaviors.

Investigators at University College London conducted a double blind pilot study to assess the impact of the ad-hoc consumption of organic CBD versus placebo in 24 tobacco-smoking subjects seeking to quit their habit. Participants were randomized to receive an inhaler containing CBD (n=12) or placebo (n=12) for one week. Trial investigators instructed subjects to use the inhaler when they felt the urge to smoke.

Researchers reported: "Over the treatment week, placebo treated smokers showed no differences in number of cigarettes smoked. In contrast, those treated with CBD significantly reduced the number of cigarettes smoked by [the equivalent of] 40 percent during treatment." Moreover, participants who used CBD did not report experiencing increased cravings for nicotine during the study's duration.

Investigators concluded, "This is the first study, as far as we are aware, to demonstrate the impact of CBD on cigarette smoking.... These preliminary data, combined with the strong preclinical rationale for use of this compound, suggest CBD to be a potential treatment for nicotine addiction that warrants further exploration."

Previously published clinical trials on CBD have found cannabidiol to be "safe and well tolerated" in healthy volunteers.

Separate investigations of CBD have documented the cannabinoid to possess a variety of therapeutic properties, including anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, anti-epileptic, anti-cancer, and bone-stimulating properties.

	CBD Oil and Infused Products Now Available

Greetings,

After a few years of trials and tribulations a handful of

vendors now offer CBD (Cannabidiol) Oil and CBD Infused

products for sale to the general public nationwide.

CBD it is one of the key ingredients found in Medical Marijuana

that has been scientifically shown to be primarily responsible

for many of the benefits associate with Medical Marijuana.

http://www.aboutcannabidiol.com

The good news is that CBD is not only found in Medical

Marijuana plants but also in our beloved Industrial Hemp

allowing this powerful natural ingredient to be extracted

and made available as a nutrition supplement !

For less than a cup of a Starbucks Coffee you can add CBD

to your daily diet for general health applications.

Of course you may need significantly more (up to 20x) to address

some of the medical conditions identified in the studies but for

those of us who current get zero CBD, even as little as 8-10mg

per day can jump start our dormant Cannabinoid System.

Of course those who are already medicating with MMJ can

supplement their low CBD strains allowing them to control the

CBD content themselves and not have to limit their medicine to

high CBD strains.

Plus, did you know that CBD has been shown scientifically to

affect the metabolism rate of THC when consumed after

medicating? So adding a CBD supplement after medicating

can help regulate and extend the "benefits" of THC allowing

the MMJ consumer to get "more bang for the buck".

By spending a few extra bucks on a CBD supplement they could

perhaps save a whole lot more on their "medicine" all while

increasing their overall CBD intake!

Anyway, very exciting news for all Cannabis/Hemp Supporters.

Best Regards
