It takes about a month to establish a habit—and often longer to break one. Early studies indicate that CBD may play a positive role in helping people break habits ranging from bad to life-threatening. A small study of smokers trying to kick the habit showed the smokers lit up less frequently when they were under a CBD treatment versus those who got the placebo treatment.
A lot of people who had been used to taking OTC or prescription pain relievers to get rid of pain eventually made a switch over to CBD instead, finding it just as or more effective than traditional painkillers. And there’s a Phase 2 clinical trial underway to see if CBD can help people dealing with a dependency on opioids, reducing cravings and withdrawal symptoms. That could be a game changer for a lot of people.
To cope with the stress of kicking a bad habit, consider adding CBD to your arsenal and counter the chaos with a little calm.
