A new study published in Phytomedicine reports that cannabidiol (CBD) may help reduce anxiety-like behavior, memory problems and brain cell damage caused by methamphetamine exposure.
The research was conducted by scientists at Kunming Medical University, who examined how CBD affects methamphetamine-induced psychosis, a condition that can develop in a significant portion of chronic meth users and is often marked by psychiatric symptoms and cognitive decline. Using both mouse models and cell-based experiments, the researchers found that CBD appeared to improve several behavioral and biological markers linked to the condition.
