CBD has also shown to reduce the urge to reach out for a cigarette.\u00a0These urges are what directs a person towards smoking cigarettes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Some experts believe that CBD can have a very positive impact on the mechanisms of addiction because of the way it regulates cannabinoid and AMPA receptors in the brain. Both regulate addiction.<\/p>\n According to Dr. Yasmin Hurd from Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, CBD is looking to be promising for treating individuals with heroin use disorder4<\/sup>.\u00a0Also, a 2009 study, for example, found that CBD could be a potential treatment for heroin craving and relapse5<\/sup><\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n While cigarettes certainly aren\u2019t actually heroin, quitting smoking can be as difficult as ending a heroin addiction.\u00a0Pathways in the brain that govern drug intake and craving are mediated by the neurotransmitter dopamine.\u00a0<\/span>It\u2019s the endocannabinoid system that affects the activity of neurotransmitters, and ultimately stimulates the release of dopamine6<\/sup>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n CBD can reduce cravings for cigarettes by interacting with dopamine receptors and increasing levels of anandamide (the \u201cbliss\u201d molecule) in the brain.<\/p>\n Smoking a CBD preroll could just crush those cigarette cravings altogether.<\/p>\n In July 2018, Wagner Dimas, a preroll technology company, made a deal with the Canadian cannabis company, Aurora.<\/p>\n They plan to produce 50 million CBD pre-rolls in the coming year, a number up from just 5 million last year.<\/p>\n Wagner Dimas CEO, Dean Arbit says, \u201cThis scaled platform gives credence to CBD hemp because we can run it in scale as a tobacco alternative.<\/p>\n There are herbal cigarettes out there, people need that fixation and there\u2019s a market for it. It\u2019s like a $200 million global market for herbal cigarettes.\u201d With the popularity of cigarettes fading down while the efficacy of CBD is more endorsed especially when it comes to quitting smoking, CBD pre-rolls are expected to become the next big thing.<\/p>\n While smoking, in general, isn\u2019t particularly good for you, this doesn\u2019t stop millions of people from lighting up cigarettes, daily!<\/p>\n Could a CBD pre-roll satisfy the need to smoke a cigarette? The answer is a definite yes! Already, CBD pre-rolls are found to be an attractive alternative and more people are showing increasing interest in CBD flowers than any other time before.<\/p>\n With tens of millions of CBD pre-rolls planned for production in the coming year, it\u2019s possible that we will see a declining market of cigarettes and a busy market for CBD.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n
