No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The non-psychotomimetic cannabis compound cannabidiol (CBD) has been found effective for reducing alcohol drinking in mice. Moreover, other experimental studies have found that CBD reduced alcohol-induced steatosis in the liver, and reduced alcohol-related injury in the brain. Despite these promising results from animal data, no human study has been conducted yet in alcohol use disorder (AUD).
