CBD Can Reduce Nicotine Withdrawal Symptoms, Finds New Study

CV Sciences also released its potential plans to develop the world’s first and only FDA-approved treatment for smokeless tobacco addiction.

This week, CV Sciences (OTCQB:CVSI) released the results of a preclinical study that suggests that CBD can reduce nicotine withdrawal symptoms in smokeless tobacco users.

The study, conducted in collaboration with researchers from the University of California, San Diego and published on Springer Nature, found that CBD prevented nicotine-dependent rats from exhibiting withdrawal symptoms including increased pain sensitivity and weight gain during short-and long-term nicotine restriction.
