CBD vs. cannabis: can a compound in weed help you use less?

NCT ID NCT06575751

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether cannabidiol (CBD), a non-psychoactive compound from cannabis, can reduce cannabis concentrate use and cravings in people who use concentrates regularly but aren't trying to stop. 120 participants will take either 200 mg or 400 mg of CBD or a placebo daily for 4 weeks. Researchers will measure changes in cannabis use, blood THC levels, and subjective effects.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Broad Spectrum Cannabidiol (bsCBD)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could point toward a treatment to help people who use cannabis concentrates cut back without having to quit entirely.

What could go wrong

This is an early Phase 2 trial with only 120 people, so results may not apply broadly. CBD might not reduce use or cravings more than a placebo.
