Publisher's Synopsis
Addiction is a lot more common than you may think. Although frequently linked to alcohol and hard drugs, it's actually possible to become addicted to pretty much anything. From work, chocolate, the 55 million cups of coffee drank every day, to the 87 million or so cigarettes smoked daily, addiction is widespread and sometimes hard to identify.CBD otherwise known as Cannabidiol is the cannabis compound of the moment. Controlling epileptic seizures, reducing inflammation, and easing chronic pain are just some of its reported benefits.

A compound found in cannabis, the plant classified as a Schedule 1 drug because of its purported 'potential for abuse, ' is currently the subject of several clinical trials testing its efficacy for treating addiction to everything from heroin, cocaine, amphetamine, tobacco, alcohol, and even cannabis itself.The fact that CBD is non-addictive, non-psychoactive, is safe to take in doses up to 1500 mg a day and appears to reduce the drug cravings and anxiety experienced by addicts, means that CBD shows great promise as a non-toxic way to aid the addiction recovery process.
