How You Can Use Cannabis to Reduce Opioid Dependence
It is no secret that the United States in embroiled in a serious crisis surrounding opioid medications. It is hard to watch television or traverse the internet without being confronted with ads for addiction help services, rehabilitation centers, and multi-part news segments, all lamenting the growing scourge of opioid prescriptions and drug abuse. With celebrities like Prince and Tom Petty passing from fentanyl overdoses, it is hard to not question the safety of such substances. As you likely know, opioid medications are derived from opium, from which heroin is also composed. What you may not know, fentanyl is the Hitler of opioids, being far stronger than straight heroin, and becoming more and more prevalent in overdoses nationwide. As such, these drugs are highly addictive, both physically and psychologically, and can consequently be more devastating and addictive than the likes of cannabis. Prescribed for all kinds of injuries and pains, they are surprisingly easy to acquire legally. In this way, restriction to access of these powerful painkillers has often done more harm than good, sending these addicts to the street for their fix. As such, it is not surprising that the country has an opioid crisis on its hands. However, in looking for a solution to this public health disaster, one may find that some solutions are counter intuitive. In light of its gradual reintegration into legality, some medical professionals believe that it may be possible for one to use cannabis to reduce opioid dependence.

An Introduction to CBD
Introduction Cannabidoil or “CBD” is one of the 113 cannabinoid compounds found in Cannabis. Contrary to Tetrahydrocannidoil (THC), CBD doesn’t alter your mental state, getting you “high” (see also: Baked; Stoned; Wonky; Blitzed). Both compounds do work in a similar way though, reacting with natural Cannabinoid receptors within the brain and immune system to administer their own unique effects. As I mentioned before there are at least 111 other cannabinoids however these two are the only ones we’re concerned about for now.
