The Addiction-Treating Potential of Cannabis

The scientists at the University of Nottingham have started a research that focuses on endocannabinoids, the cannabis-like compounds which naturally exist in human body, and are believed to have a crucial link to addictive behaviour.

We know that the endocannabinoid system is intimately involved in reward pathways and drug-seeking behaviour. So this tends to indicate that if the link involving endocannabinoids and the reward pathway, using inhibitors, can be interrupted, it could turn down the drive to seek addictive agents like nicotine.

According to researchers, by exploiting the cannabinoid receptors of brain, it may also be possible to develope new anti-depressant compounds. The possibilities of treating obesity and diabetes are also being looked for.
