New Drug for Cannabis Withdrawal found by Yale Scientists | |
| Cannabis Kills People
Offer Upgrade  User ID: 72099278  United Kingdom02/05/2019 09:02 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Marijuana is addictive, but what happens when people who smoke cannabis want to quit? A new Yale study has found a drug that can help with marijuana withdrawal. A team of researchers tested the chemical on a group of 70 participants, who all reported smoking at least three marijuana joints per day on average. The participants were first hospitalized for five days without marijuana to induce withdrawal. After four weeks, those who were not given the placebo reported better sleep, less cannabis use and a reduction in withdrawal symptoms overall. At a time when marijuana legalization is on the legislative horizon for many states, the study is good news for people who may want to quit in the future. If approved by the FDA, the drug will be the first to treat cannabis use disorder. The study was published in The Lancet Psychiatry on Dec. 6. “I would not say it’s a miracle drug as a scientist. Before we get too sold on this drug, we first need to replicate [the findings]. But I’m cautiously optimistic,” said first author and Yale psychiatry professor Deepak D’Souza. Much like how opioids target the brain’s receptors for dopamine, cannabis attaches to receptors for naturally-occurring chemicals called cannabinoids, encouraging the body to stop producing them. When someone stops smoking, it takes time for the body to start producing cannabinoids at normal levels again, leading to symptoms of withdrawal, including irritability, anger, depression, sleep difficulty and loss of appetite. According to D’Souza, the drug — called a fatty acid amide hydrolase inhibitor — works by preventing enzymes from breaking down cannabinoids in the first place. By ensuring receptors in the brain never go without the chemical, withdrawal symptoms are less severe and, in turn, relapse is less likely. “In a nutshell,” he said, “the drug reduced withdrawal, reduced use, restored stage 3 sleep and did so without having any significant adverse effects.” [link to yaledailynews.com (secure)]  Hopefully you Cannabis addicts will have help getting off your drug soon if they make this med.

The Dogon's explain that they were given Cannabis from reptile like creatures from the sirius star system. Cannabis Means "two dog" and refers to Sirius A and B. The dog days of summer refers to sirius rising at the same time as the sun"helical Rising". So to recap: Cannabis is alien technology. |

Please answer this question. I'm guessing no. Because if you did you'd then be aware of the side effects of fatty acid amidehydrolase inhibitors. The side effects are impairment of cognition and motor functions and a predisposition to psychoses. Wouldn't you agree that this is a case where a medicine is much worse than the supposed illness it's trying to correct? For what's probably the millionth time - don't take an article at face value. Do your research. Cannabis causes Psychosis and mental health problems so it's a good gamble for those who want to quit their addiction to Cannabis I guess. I never even read the side effects of the drugs I take. Really? You don't look into side effects of what you take? I'm surprised by that actually. When I'm prescribed something by a doctor, I read everything I can on it. I thought many people would do the same. Yes really. I know within hours of taking a drug whether its going to suit me and how I react to them. I personally dont read side effects, because I believe a lot pf people who do trick their brains into thinking they will or are getting them and get anxious making themselves feel unwell. I understand the knowing within hours whether the drug will harm you. What's strange to me is this: You don't research the drugs you take yourself, but you seek out articles that potentially show cannabis to be harmful. You look for negative information on a drug that you don't take. Christian. Husband. Father. Veteran. |
