Whether it’s a problem with alcohol, opioids, cocaine, or any other substance, addiction kills thousands of Americans every year and impacts millions of lives. Addiction is a mental disorder which compels someone to repeatedly use substances or engage in behaviors even though they have harmful consequences. Addictions destroy marriages, friendships, and careers and threaten a person’s basic health and safety.
 
   - Almost 21 million Americans have at least one addiction, yet only 10% of them receive treatment.
    - Drug overdose deaths have more than tripled since 1990.
    - From 1999 to 2017, more than 700,000 Americans died from overdosing on a drug.
    - Alcohol and drug addiction cost the U.S. economy over $600 billion every year.
    - In 2017, 34.2 million Americans committed DUI, 21.4 million with alcohol and 12.8 million under drugs.
    - About 20% of Americans who have depression, or an anxiety disorder also have a substance use disorder.
    - More than 90% of people who have an addiction started before they were 18 years old.
    - Americans between the ages of 18 and 25 are most likely to use addictive drugs.
 
Researchers at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York announced May 21, 2019 that results of a small study found a promising, and unexpected, new use of CBD: a reduction of cue-induced cravings and anxiety in individuals with a history of heroin abuse, suggesting a potential role for it in helping to break heroin drug addiction.
 
Pre-clinical studies investigating CBD products as a treatment for cocaine self-administration in animals have been contradictory. One study in rats showed no reduction in cocaine self-administration after treatment with CBD while another in mice showed a reduction in cocaine use.
 
A recent study published in the American Journal of Psychiatry, led by Yasmin Hurd, further demonstrates the ability of CBD to reduce cravings in people with heroin drug addiction. Results also demonstrate reduction in anxiety as well as reduction in heart rate and cortisol which is the “stress hormone”. The effects on the intervention were visible as soon as one hour after administration of CBD and were still visible up to one week after the intervention.

According to one of the Mayo clinic’s doctors - Brent A. Bauer, M.D. an important concern is the unreliability of the purity and dosage of CBD in products. A recent study of 84 CBD products bought online showed that more than a quarter of the products contained less CBD than labeled. In addition, THC was found in 18 products.
Be careful, when you’re choosing reliable supplier for CBD products.
