    President Donald Trump has declared the opioid epidemic a national emergency. It is estimated that nearly three million Americans are currently addicted to opioids. A report released by the White House stated, “the opioid epidemic we are facing is unparalleled. The average American would likely be shocked to know that drug overdoses now kill more people than gun homicides and car crashes combined.” But there is evidence that CBD for opiate withdrawal can help with this health crisis.

    OPIOID CRISIS IN AMERICA

    With the opioid crisis at such a deadly climax, it is clear that important steps must be taken to help curb opioid addiction. Preventative care to dissuade people from becoming addicted to opiates is the logical first step. However, helping current users recover from their addiction cannot be neglected. Recent research seems to suggest that both THC and CBD – which are the most prominent active compounds found in cannabis – can help addicts recover from their opiate withdrawal symptoms.

    HOW CBD HELPS OPIATE WITHDRAWAL

    There is still limited evidence to definitively suggest that cannabis can help people recover from opioid addiction. But that doesn’t mean there isn’t promising data that CBD for opiate withdrawal can be a viable treatment, In fact, a study conducted in 2014 found that states with medical marijuana laws had addiction rates that were 25% lower than states where cannabis was illegal. While THC and its pain-relieving properties can be useful for some people battling opioid addiction, it is CBD that may help treat the aggressive withdrawal symptoms.

    WHY CBD IS BETTER TREATMENT THAN THC

    CBD is non-psychoactive, which opioid addicts would find more desirable than THC. CBD will not give an individual a high. However, CBD does have anti-inflammatory, antipsychotic and neuroprotective qualities which greatly help aid in the recovery process. CBD will help limit depression and hallucinations that the patients may experience during opioid withdrawal.

    More research is needed to determine which ratio of CBD/THC works best in addiction recovery. What we do know is that current scientific and anecdotal evidence proves combining these two cannabis compounds may be useful alternative to slowing down the opioid crisis in America.

    Visited Whole Leaf yesterday and delivered them a half pound of some beeeautiful Blueberry this afternoon! Whole Leaf, Ryan and his team were nothing short of amazing. One of the best establishments we’ve seen, staff was VERY informative and super friendly, their store was easily accessible and had some of the neatest jars for display, not to mention the quality of his products! Top notch, all the way around! Looking forward to future business with Whole Leaf!!

    Nicest People

    Hands-down some of the nicest people. Im new to the medical community, and still trying to figure out how to medicate efficiently and affordably. I can tell that they are genuinely wanting to help. If they can help you, they will. Will DEFINITELY be a loyal customer! 🙂

    Nicest Dispensary

    Nicest Dispensary in Tulsa. I have not been to all dispensaries yet but I have been to quite a few and this is by far the cleanest set-up. I had an issue with a product and they were extremely professional in handling it. Love this Simple Cure gummies, I don’t mind driving past 15 other stores to go here.

    Exceptional Staff

    Exceptional Staff, Service & Facilities. From the moment I stepped in the door, I knew that this was “the place”. Clean, well lit store, with a cool vibe and a laid back attitude. Fast, friendly service from check-in, to talking with the “bud tenders”, making my selections, to checking out. The virtual ATM made it so easy to make my purchase, I was in and out within 15 minutes. The deal on the Purple Kush was insane and they gave me the Veterans discount. Everything I need from my dispensary, service with a smile!
