I often get asked is Full Spectrum CBD addictive and can I use Ful Spectrum in treating addiction?

The short answer is, NO Full Spectrum is not adictive and YES you can use Full Spectrum in treating a number of adicitive conditions.

The long answer is, Full Spectrum, is a non-psychoactive. It has been shown to have a variety of potential health benefits, including reducing withdrawal symptoms in addiction.

Withdrawal symptoms are the physical and psychological effects that can occur when a person stops using a substance that they are addicted to. These symptoms can be very unpleasant and can make it difficult for people to stay sober.

Full Spectrum CBD works by interacting with the body’s endocannabinoid system. This system plays a role in regulating mood, pain, and inflammation. Full Spectrum CBD can help to reduce withdrawal symptoms by:

• Reducing anxiety and stress
• Relieving pain
• Improving sleep
• Reducing inflammation
• Attenuating cravings

In addition to reducing withdrawal symptoms, Full Spectrum can also help to prevent relapse. This is because Full Spectrum can help to reduce cravings and improve impulse control.

There is a growing body of research that supports the use of Full Spectrum for reducing withdrawal symptoms in addiction. A 2015 study found that Full Spectrum was effective in reducing anxiety and insomnia in people who were withdrawing from cocaine. A 2017 study found that Full Spectrum was effective in reducing cravings for alcohol in people with alcohol use disorder.

While more research is needed, the available evidence suggests that CBD may be a safe and effective way to reduce withdrawal symptoms in addiction. If you are struggling with addiction, talk to your doctor about whether Full Spectrum CBD could be a helpful addition to your treatment plan or book a free consultion with us.

Here are some additional things to keep in mind about Full Spectrum CBD and withdrawal symptoms:

• Full Spectrum CBD is not a cure for addiction. It can help to reduce withdrawal symptoms, but it will not eliminate them altogether.
• Full Spectrum CBD is not a substitute for professional treatment for addiction. If you are struggling with addiction, please seek help from a qualified healthcare professional.
• There are a variety of Full Spectrum CBD products available on the market. It is important to do your research and choose a product that is high quality and from a reputable source.
• Start with a low dose of Full Spectrum CBD and gradually increase it as needed. CBD can have side effects, such as drowsiness and fatigue. It is important to talk to your doctor about any side effects that you experience.
