“This study evaluated the effects of cannabidiol (CBD) on ethanol reinforcement, motivation and relapse in C57BL/6 J mice.

Taken together, these results reveal that the administration of CBD reduced the reinforcing properties, motivation and relapse for ethanol.

These findings strongly suggest that CBD may result useful for the treatment of alcohol use disorders.”
