Researchers at the John Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore found that nearly three quarters of respondents found cannabis useful in easing their withdrawal from opioids.<\/p>\n

They asked participants whether their symptoms of opioid withdrawal improved or worsened when they consumed cannabis.<\/p>\n

Almost three quarters (72 per cent) of the 125 respondents said it eased their symptoms.<\/p>\n

While 6.4 per cent said it made them worse, 20 per cent reported mixed results.<\/p>\n

The researchers would now like to see clinical trials on the back of their findings.<\/p>\n

Using cannabis medicine as a direct treatment for opioid use disorder – rather than as a replacement for opioid-based medicines – is not new and is permitted in some US states.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, in 2018, the Canadian Mental Health Authority cited cannabis medicine in its policy paper<\/a> <\/strong>Care not Corrections: Relieving the Opioid Crisis in Canada.<\/i><\/p>\n

One of its recommendations was to \u201cexplore promising new research on cannabis as an alternative form of treatment to substitute opioids for pain management, to manage withdrawal symptoms, and\/or treat substance use problems.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
