Combination cannabinoid and opioid receptor antagonists improves metabolic outcomes in obese mice.

“This study demonstrates that the combination of rimonabant, naloxone and norBNI is effective at producing weight loss over a sustained period of time without altering performance in standardised mouse behaviour tests. Fos expression patterns offer insight into the neuroanatomical substrates subserving these physiological and behavioural changes.

These results indicate that CB1-targeted drugs for weight loss may still be feasible.”
