We Have to Acknowledge That CBD Is a Privilege - The Implications of the Racist History of the War on Drugs - marieclaire.com

We Have to Acknowledge That CBD Use Is a Privilege. Though CBD (unlike THC) has been largely legalized, recent arrest numbers of black and brown people still reflect troubling policies.

In this growing market of Cannabis products, CBD can be found in stores across a multitude of states and regions in the US. Despite the rapid expansion of the market, some consumers will face accessibility issues due to location and demographics. The exclusion of POC and minorities from the profits of the Cannabis industry still happens, despite the history of oppression that Prohibition has created.

“Cannabis has been split in the public imagination and in many of our laws, into a good guy and a bad guy. A drug and a medicine.”

“Those profiting off of CBD ought to ask themselves what they can do for the predominantly black and brown kids still bearing the brunt of criminalization.”

CBD Can Help Curb Heroin Cravings, New Study Finds | Leafly

The record-breaking climb in US overdose deaths—which now outnumber peak annual deaths from car crashes, guns, and HIV—has led some to second-guess cannabis legalization. But a new study ...

Cannabidiol (CBD) reduced cue-induced craving and anxiety in individuals with a history of heroin abuse, suggesting a potential role for it in helping to break the cycle of addiction, according to research conducted at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and published May 21 in the American Journal of Psychiatry. The study also revealed that CBD tended to reduce physiological measures of stress reactivity, such as increased heart rate and cortisol levels, that are induced by drug cues.

"Our findings indicate that CBD holds significant promise for treating individuals with heroin use disorder," says Dr. Hurd. "A successful non-opioid medication would add significantly to the existing addiction medication toolbox to help reduce the growing death toll, enormous health care costs, and treatment limitations imposed by stringent government regulations amid this persistent opioid epidemic."

“CBD holds significant promise for treating individuals with heroin use disorder.”

• Yasmin Hurd, director, Addiction Institute at Mount Sinai
