Schizophrenia

Find out about CBD and what it could do for Schizophrenia.

“CBD can treat schizophrenia as effectively as antipsychotic medications, with fewer side effects, according to a preliminary clinical trial. Researchers led the University of Cologne. Nineteen patients were treated with amisulpride, the rest of the patients were given cannabidiol. Unlike the main ingredient in marijuana, THC, which can produce psychotic reactions and may worsen schizophrenia, CBD has antipsychotic effects, according to previous research in both animals and humans. Neither the patients nor the scientists knew who was getting which drug”. At the end of the four-week trial, both groups showed significant clinical improvement but there was no way of distinguishing who got which unless they continue conducting tests and find out the side effects associated with each.
