Summary

This early-stage study at Johns Hopkins is testing whether cannabidiol (CBD) can reduce stress and nicotine withdrawal symptoms in people who smoke. Ninety healthy smokers will receive CBD and then be exposed to stress while researchers measure their mood, heart rate, and stress hormones. The goal is to see if CBD can make quitting easier by easing the unpleasant effects of withdrawal.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Epidiolex (cannabidiol, CBD)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a way to use CBD to help people quit smoking by reducing stress and withdrawal symptoms.
What could go wrong
This is an early Phase 1 study with only 90 people, so results may not apply broadly. CBD may not reduce stress or withdrawal better than a placebo.
