If you or someone you know struggles with cannabis dependence, new treatments are finally in developmentโbecause right now, there are zero FDA-approved medications to help. ZME Science reports on the University at Buffalo study (Journal of Psychoactive Drugs) finding cannabis beverage users cut weekly alcohol intake from 7.02 to 3.35 drinksโnearly in half. Among 438 adults surveyed, 62.6% reduced or stopped drinking alcohol entirely, with fewer binge episodes reported.
