Lesser-known cannabis compounds show promise for treating alcohol addiction in rats
https://www.psypost.org/lesser-known-cannabis-compounds-show-promise-for-treating-alcohol-addiction-in-rats/A study conducted on male Wistar rats found that administering phytocannabinoids once daily reduced voluntary alcohol consumption. They tested three different compounds—cannabinol, tetrahydrocannabivarin, and cannabidiol—and found that they differed in their effectiveness and side effects, but that they all reduced alcohol intake. The paper was published in Alcohol and Alcoholism.
