From the Ted Talk by Yasmin Hurd: Could CBD help opioid users overcome addiction?

Unscramble the Blue Letters


We've also seen a great increase in cannabis research. Most research studies, including some of my own, focus on THC. In fact, our aaniml recsearh has sowhn a negative relationship between THC and opioid addiction. However, as I mentioned, the cnbaains plant has over 100 cannabinoids. So THC was not the only one to study. In eixanming another cannabinoid, cannabidiol — that is, CBD — we were actually surprised to see feuteras relevant to aetnvlilaig opioid addiction-related behaviors. So there my journey turned to CBD.

So what's this CBD that has moved from virtual obscurity only a few years ago to everywhere in siocety — in your coffee in the morning, your water at lucnh and your beer at dinner? CBD comes from the cannabis plant, but in contrast to THC that has the high, CBD has no atiddvice properties. We're still trying to figure out how CBD fully works, but it is known that CBD alters chemicals in the brain that regulate emotions and anxiety.

Original Text


We've also seen a great increase in cannabis research. Most research studies, including some of my own, focus on THC. In fact, our animal research has shown a negative relationship between THC and opioid addiction. However, as I mentioned, the cannabis plant has over 100 cannabinoids. So THC was not the only one to study. In examining another cannabinoid, cannabidiol — that is, CBD — we were actually surprised to see features relevant to alleviating opioid addiction-related behaviors. So there my journey turned to CBD.

So what's this CBD that has moved from virtual obscurity only a few years ago to everywhere in society — in your coffee in the morning, your water at lunch and your beer at dinner? CBD comes from the cannabis plant, but in contrast to THC that has the high, CBD has no addictive properties. We're still trying to figure out how CBD fully works, but it is known that CBD alters chemicals in the brain that regulate emotions and anxiety.
