Overview

For a long time, addiction meant an uncontrollable habit of using alcohol or other drugs. More recently, the concept of addiction has expanded to include behaviors, such as gambling, as well as substances, and even ordinary and necessary activities, such as exercise and eating. The key is that the person finds the behavior pleasurable in some way and engages excessively in the behavior as a way of coping with life. By the time a person is addicted, the behavior will be causing more problems in a person's life than it solves.Addiction is a lot more common than you may think. Although frequently linked to alcohol and hard drugs, it's actually possible to become addicted to pretty much anything. From work, chocolate, the 55 million cups of coffee drank every day, to the 87 million or so cigarettes smoked daily, addiction is widespread and sometimes hard to identify.CBD otherwise known as Cannabidiol is the cannabis compound of the moment. Controlling epileptic seizures, reducing inflammation, and easing chronic pain are just some of its reported benefits. But researchers are looking into a potential use for CBD that might just surprise you - as a pharmacological treatment for treating substance abuse and addiction.Yes, you heard it right. A compound found in cannabis, the plant classified as a Schedule 1 drug because of its purported 'potential for abuse, ' is currently the subject of several clinical trials testing its efficacy for treating addiction to everything from heroin, cocaine, amphetamine, tobacco, alcohol, and even cannabis itself.The fact that CBD is non-addictive, non-psychoactive, is safe to take in doses up to 1500 mg a day and appears to reduce the drug cravings and anxiety experienced by addicts, means that CBD shows great promise as a non-toxic way to aid the addiction recovery process.
