Oral Spray Containing Cannabis Extracts Can Ease Withdrawal Symptoms among AddictsSubmitted by Dinesh Chandra Gaur on Thu, 01/16/2014 - 10:13 

An oral spray containing extracts of cannabis has been found to be an effective method for people who have been trying to quit marijuana.
The above-mentioned revelation has been made in a study carried out by researchers from the University of NSW and the National Cannabis Prevention and Information Centre (NCPIC).
Lead researcher Professor Jan Copeland explained that the cannabis-based medication eases withdrawal symptoms of addiction. The medication works through a process in which it controls the level of THC and adds the same level of CBD, which is also a part of cannabis plant.

Through this way, marijuana addicts feel reduced anxiety levels. Rather than bringing a decline in cannabis intake, it would be better to have the spray, suggested Copeland.
An experiment was carried out in which 51 dependent cannabis users took part. These people were having this addiction for more than 20 years and used to smoke three grams of it every day.
"This is the group that really, really struggle to manage without some sort of medication to help dampen down the symptoms, so they can really engage in the counselling and medical care", said Copeland while affirming that both the things, counselling and medical care were offered in the study as well. Before the oral spray gets legalized, a big trial on the subject is required.
