On average, 130 Americans die every day of an opioid overdose. An innovative San Francisco program aims to treat the addiction using marijuana. Sharon Chin reports. (6-20-19)
Opioid use in the U.S. is the highest it’s ever been. According to the DEA, “overdose deaths, particularly from prescription drugs and heroin, have reached epidemic levels.” Dr. Gina Berman or Dr. Ravi Chandiramani from Blue Door Therapeutics shows us how they are using medical cannabis to treat patients.
With more than 115 Americans dying every day from opioid overdoses, there’s no question that the current tools in place to help addicts aren’t working. Yasmin Hurd, PhD, and her team at Mount Sinai are changing that by investigating how using cannabinoids—chemicals extracted from marijuana that, unlike the better-known THC, do not get you high—can reduce cravings and ease withdrawal symptoms in heroin users. By studying molecular and neurochemical reactions in the brain, Dr. Hurd has found that cannabinoids have long-lasting therapeutic effects for heroin addicts.

TUESDAY, May 21, 2019 (HealthDay News) Cannabidiol (CBD) has been receiving a lot of attention lately as a potential treatment for everything from epilepsy to anxiety. Now, researchers report it. CBD as an Addiction Antidote Research on CBD’s potential to treat opioid addiction itself is even more preliminary, though growing.

Yes, CBD treats opioid addiction by addressing some of the most common symptoms, such as anxiety, cravings, insomnia, etc. The best part is, CBD treats opioid addiction without exposing you to any further risks of dependence, as it doesn’t directly interact with your opioid receptors. TUESDAY, May 21, 2019 (HealthDay News) Cannabidiol (CBD) has been receiving a lot of attention lately as a potential treatment for everything from epilepsy to anxiety.
Now, researchers report it might also help curb the cravings that come with opioid addiction. Like marijuana, CBD comes from the cannabis plant. Unlike pot, it does not produce a high. Scientists hope an ingredient found in cannabis could one day be used to treat people addicted to heroin and in turn help tackle the opioid crisis.
Taking cannabidiol (CBD), a non-psychoactive. (CNN) Cannabidiol, the non-psychoactive ingredient in hemp and marijuana, could treat opioid addiction, a new study says. Given to patients with heroin addiction, cannabidiol, also known as CB. Studies on CBD for opioid addiction indicate that this natural treatment could help by reducing symptoms such as anxiety and depression while having a beneficial effect on the nervous system and the neurotransmitters which influence addictive behavior. CBD for Cocaine Addiction.
CBD for opiate withdrawal can also help by mitigat ing anxiety, depression, pain, and inflammation, which are often cited as catalysts for opiate use and relapses. What the facts say: Early studies as well as anecdotal evidence appear to support that adopting a CBD regimen can be beneficial for many people. Researchers are looking to CBD, a compound found in marijuana, to help reduce cravings for opioids and treat chronic pain A new study this week found that opioid-addicted rats were less likely to.
List of related literature:
However, the accumulating evidence showing that CBD formulations can provide therapeutic benefit in treating debilitating diseases has prompted actions by both the Drug Enforcement Administration and the Food and Drug Administration to facilitate continued preclinical and clinical research.
SMBs vary in the depth to which this issue is addressed, from simply recommending referral to addiction or pain specialists (Ohio), to describing the risks, benefits, and management of withdrawal symptoms associated with various weekly reductions in opioid use (California and Washington).
Certainly, it seems reasonable to speculate that therapies effective for opioid and other substance dependence might also be effective for AAS dependence.
Although long-term treatment with opioids can result in opioid tolerance (i.e., more drug being needed to achieve the same effect) and physical dependence, this should not be confused with addiction.

BACK & NECK PAIN: The stigma, the results, the costs and what we as Americans should demand. This may be the most important posting you may read currently on the subject, especially about the costs.
I was never an unlawful drug user and the stigma of Cannabis delayed my getting on board. I also did not want smoke anything. Then the Dr said, you have receptors for this and recommended I try the oils. That stigma stopped the day after I started as it works! The dispensary recommended and I found the CBD oil about 70% and at least 3% THC works and opioids supplement if needed at a less rate. A product called Sweet Relief is a syringe (no needle) that has premarked dose lines. Add to foods or simply take a scoop of peanut butter, open a divot pocket, Push the syringe plunger and it comes out like a honey thickness and smooth the oil inside and consume. The oil just by itself tastes bitter directly and not desired.
Cuts pain by about 40%. What that equates to is “a percentage of your day will rely only on the cannabis”. You may find the end of the day you need opioids as well, but less. Or just one light opioid with Cannabis gets you through most of the day. The THC helps because it reduces stress. I feel more relaxed and now prefer to be pleasant. Often back pain individuals are physically guarding or compensating around an injury area. It’s frustrating holding this all day long. The Oil masks the feeling and you are not as tense. I also find the THC to charm me up “a bit” around others. Quite frankly, when you are in damn pain, you are definitely less friendly and way less tolerant to BS. Example, you get pissed faster, you are more likely to be a little jerky when you are tired and at the end of a work shift. Any help from the tiny THC is most welcome. Remember, as long as you are reasonable, you are not going to overdose, if you take a bit too much, you just get sleepy. What I am saying is don’t be a panic user. It’s not like normal prescription meds that is more rigid about dosing. One bad thing is Cannabis is slower to get to work. It may take an hour or hours to fully kick in. So if you wake up in pain, if you are in MF pain, I wait till after a shower, then take both the opioid and the Cannabis. If you are not feeling that bad, just do the Cannabis. Do not drive until you have a solid grasp on dosing times and how you react. Understand how food, rest and water are and not something to run dry on. Cycling in Antiinflammatory’s and Lyrica helps too.
I had a back injury 27 years ago did all the conservative method crap that never lasted eventually had 4 surgeries over time and even in the past three years traveled to Barcelona for premium disc implants not available in the US (because the FDA panders to the big buck mega manufacturers making it so expensive in costs and time in years to get approved). What happens is the very best outstanding implants NOT made by mega-corporations go for the CE approved so they can sell to the whole European Union 28 Countries and that CE approval is often recognized by many other Nations around the globe. So, the US is the VERY last stop on the train since they can finally afford to pay millions and added years to the US for such approval. The problem is the market in the US has too many implants with NO shock absorbing properties like a real disc and many fail to address necessary turning tension so facets don’t hyper turn and ware out faster). Fusion is a joke, it causes the disc above to wear out and years later, another stupid fusion. It’s cruel.
THE COSTS!!!! The costs are too high. We need Walgreens and CVS to dispense, what I would call “a harmony group” of Cannabis in pill and capsule form that can be sold economically or at least under your Health Insurance. This is VERY important because I can get opioids for $10 for the month. This Oil Sweet Relief is $70 for ten eight hour doses, so that’s $21 a day if you were using it around the clock. Not many can afford that! We need legislation to make this happen and to be vocal about this.
The faster these costs to the user is addressed, the better these programs will be. The better we serve society and care for the people in real pain. It’s not fair to be just for the rich. Reach out to your Represetative and Congress persons Thumbs Up?
At 2:36 this lady said she tripped while carrying 180 lbs of tie-downs….c’mon…who is she fooling. I would be willing to bet it was probably HALF that weight AT BEST!! This makes you wonder about her CLAIMS of pain.
All pill poppers will say they hated the high from THC because………yup, you guessed it….they don’t get the speed effect! They only like the speed high, that’s all! That’s why they switch to Adderall! Same for meth users, they lie to Docs to make them think they have ADHD/ADD…..why you might ask? Welp its because they are after the Speed High Only!
Wow if only our politicians would for once read the facts instead of the old legends about marijuana that aren’t true and maybe we could have a society that isn’t laying people in caskets over an opioid overdose every 10 seconds
Hey look! Lets create an opioid crisis! It just started! Look! Cannabis! It just showed up 10k years also! Look! At least you say Cannabis not Marijuana
I’m a 31 years never miss a day but for one time could not find heroin no where I was sick for four days, I take 5-7 grams heroin day and doctors give me also 1000mg of Kadian plus 200mg methadone I do not eat solid foods for about 20 years, just liquids so from 14 years old to now and I’m 46 years old, why I’m still alive, I ask myself that all day.
Cannabis withdrawl is very real. Longterm cannabis use gives you panic attacks and anxiety attacks. Everytime you quit cannabis you have to go through a few weeks of insomnia stomach issues exc. EVERYTIME YOU START AND STOP
It’s all trading one for another. I’ve been a opiod addict for quite a while and I’ve been on suboxone which is just as strong as oxys, been on methadone which was a absolute NIGHTMARE quitting when I had to quit. There is a thing called “rapid detox” that is done by hospitals that actually put you in a coma for like 12 hours while they flush your brain with naloxone and since you’re unconscious, you dont feel anything. You wake up sober and no urges.. why dont they talk about that?
I smoke a bowl before bed to help with restless legs from MM. works great! Last mg of methadone this month. Thank goodness for legalized weed here in ����
CBD and Kratom helps with addiction. I wonder why the FDA cracks down more on these natural medicines than the drug companies abusing the sales of opioids? ��
I’ve been completely stalled in my recovery from opioid addiction. I started a suboxone (later switched to generic buprenorphine tablets) treatment program 3.5 years ago and while I have been able to taper down to about 1/3 of what I used to take, I’ve hit a point at which cutting any further really exacerbates my anxiety significantly, as well as nerve pain, muscle soreness and a general sick feeling.
I decided to order a few different cbd products which should be arriving tomorrow and my plan is to go off of my current medication entirely with the help of cbd to manage those withdrawal symptoms. With any luck, I’ll finally be able to get away from this medication.
Its placebo. Alexander shulgin had to get a surgery once, and was given a glass of orange juice with sugar crystals on top and told it was morphine. He felt no pain and thanked the nurse, who told him it was all his own brain. He went on to create countless psychedelic and empathogenic drugs because he was so interested in this phenomenon.
this really deserves further extensive medical research maybe they can alter the compounds to get rid of the “high” and keep the pain reduction.I dont know,but we should be looking for something to replace opiates with something that will kill most of the pain without altering ones mental abilities and also allow them to be functional at work and adl s
jesus christ, her severe pain with opiods is a 3 or 4?!? A good day for me on SEVERE OPIODS is a 7 or 8. STAY AWAY FROM METHADONE!! THEYRE CONCERNED WITH MONEY BUT OT ONLY NOT, IT CAN KILL U IF U USE A CPAP MACHINE AND YOU WILL NVR BE PRESCRIBED OPIATES AGAIN. My hsband started going to a clinic because we couldnt afford a pain management and him bying them off the streets almost ruined us. Once he was on Medicaid and started a pain mngt, he was stuck. his backbone was nearly ripped in half in an accident so hes not just s fiend. Guess what, he had a heart attack and isi on blood thinners which require a whole nother level just to get shots approved, Therefore, no surgeries or epidurals. We need help before he takes his or someone elses life because of the pain
I heard in the UK they are treating opiate addiction with shrooms and acid and other psychedelics for my understanding and what I read is they’ve been doing doing this for years and it shows it works a lot of people have gone off opiates by using psychedelics not Suboxone and all the other crap that doctors give you they do not want to help you they just want the money and to keep you on this stupid opiates I don’t know why but that’s what it feels like to me who gives you opiate substance to get you off opiates that’s stupid right
I’ve been trying to get off heroin for the last 3 years been using Suboxone going to na doing everything I can I’ve been smoking weed for half my life but it does not help me when I’m withdrawing off opiates it makes my anxiety worse it can’t help my paint a little bit for like 5 minutes and then after that all the withdrawal syndromes come back worse than they were before because marijuana makes your heart pump faster meaning blood pumps faster meaning your withdrawal gets worse I wish there was a miracle drug out there that could just get me off this s*** but there’s not and the doctors just prescribe you Suboxone or other stuff like Suboxone but what they don’t tell you is you have to withdraw off the Suboxone and that withdrawal is worse than to opiate withdrawal so please somebody out there tell me why they are telling everybody marijuana is a miracle drug to get you off opiates it’s not if anything when I’m withdrawing off opiates and I smoked weed the first thing I do is run to my dealer so I can get my fix but if it helps other people out more power to them I’m just saying what’s on my mind and what I’ve been through these people they’re talking about opiate addiction have never had an opiate addiction and they’ve never been through withdraw they are talking out of their f**** asses yes they’ve been around people that have withdrawal off of opiates but that still does not mean that they have done opiates in withdrawal off of personally if you don’t know what the f*** it feels like and why the f*** are you talking about it people in the situation they’re on opiates they need help treatment even if they have to go to treatment five times that’s what they have to do go to na go to your doctor get Suboxone but my personal opinion is don’t take the suboxin as long as the doctors tell you to I usually take it for 3 days so I don’t have to withdrawal off of Suboxone suboxone withdrawal is worse than opiate withdrawal the doctors will tell you otherwise but who you going to believe a person that’s going through the withdrawals or the person that’s never been through withdrawals does not know how it feels and it’s telling you this is going to help you shut the f**** you just want money and to keep us on opiates longer so you can get paid
Self driving trucks are preposterous. There’s NO way they can be safe…too much weight to speed ratio with the unpredictability of weather and other drivers…
I was shopping at a second handstore and was going to buy a purse. It had needles in it. Its just so much of a problem that the owner had a place to dispose of them as do many stores
Just went through withdrawal…,again. I’m telling you folks: weed, kratom and if you can get it, Xanax, for restless legs and insomnia cut it all down 50%! I took a week off. Best decision of my life.
people with little to no educated on nero science shouldnt get to have an opinion. theyre too ignorant and arrogant towards the issue. its not about “trading addictions” theres no such thing. Every single human has addictive tendencies. addicts are just a little more extreme and impulsive than most people. we need to learn to manage that in a healthy way. every single human being needs a way to relax or unwind for the day. a beer is healthy because its very mild and you can control it. as long as your not using beer to hide from all your problems then its ok. same with marijuana it has no serious side effects or dangers therefor its not very addictive. even if you are addicted to it, it wont kill you and its easy to get off of. being extremely addicted to something like marijuana or beer isnt a substance issue but a mental issue and that person needs to work on their problems they dont wanna face but at the same time they need a way to relax and relieve their stress or that will build up and cause the person to explode. heroin or cocaine is absolutely not ok because they are both deadly drugs that drastically changed human behavior no matter what the dose. micro dosing is not a thing. thats a way to slowly change your brians chemistry. like gambling with your brain on how it will turn out. they have plenty of studies on marijuana and they know the benefits they just dont wanna use it and keep spreading stigmas because it would decimate the medication business it would bankrupt big pharma and it could even replace wood. its as strong as the strongest wood and ten times lighter. cannabis is a miracle plant and its so obvious the government just wants complete control of it and you people are too simple minded to even understand whats going on. educate yourselves please for your childrens sake. dont comment on shit you know nothing about because youre just adding to the ignorance.
So how about a gallon hemp/cbd oil + dabs + some pure thc oil vapes + an ounce of weed for a complete negation of any withdrawal effect? Has this been tested on harder drugs
I’m totally with you guys about this being a medicine but do you know a new study came out that Donald Trump adding chemicals to the plant so he can get his way so they can continuously Sage because the plant so they can still benefit from pharmaceutical drugs killing people when cannabis has did nothing but once you add a chemical to cannabis you will still taste the chemical that they use people need to realize that medical cannabis is not what they think it is the only reason they have higher potency and they can control the numbers they have it’s because they have their own chemicals that’s how they can tell by next year Donald Trump’s going to make history come true he’s adding chemicals to the drug so we can get very sick and he can get his way and rip cannabis from the US
People, who smoke, marijuana has brain dead. Just look at people, who smoke marijuana, they talk slow and their words slur. Smoking marijuana is no different than using drug. This guy is addicted to drug (whatever type of drug) for life. He needs to get off all type of drug completely. Moving from one to another drug is no different.

I’m totally with you guys about this being a medicine but do you know a new study came out that Donald Trump adding chemicals to the plant so he can get his way so they can continuously Sage because the plant so they can still benefit from pharmaceutical drugs killing people when cannabis has did nothing but once you add a chemical to cannabis you will still taste the chemical that they use people need to realize that medical cannabis is not what they think it is the only reason they have higher potency and they can control the numbers they have it’s because they have their own chemicals that’s how they can tell by next year Donald Trump’s going to make history come true he’s adding chemicals to the drug so we can get very sick and he can get his way and rip cannabis from the US
People, who smoke, marijuana has brain dead. Just look at people, who smoke marijuana, they talk slow and their words slur. Smoking marijuana is no different than using drug. This guy is addicted to drug (whatever type of drug) for life. He needs to get off all type of drug completely. Moving from one to another drug is no different.
