The authorities remain concerned to understand the effects of cannabidiol (CBD). A new study that analyzed that this cannabis compound nor affects conduction while moderate doses of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) produces small involvements in conduction lasting up to 4 hours.
The study was conducted in the study section of cannabinoid therapies at the University ofSydney, Australia and published in the prestigious Journal of the American Medical Association.
“This research showed for the first time that CBD, when admnistrated without THC, does not affect the ability to drive. This is great news for those who use or are considering using CBD products,” Dr. Arkell said.
Because the use of CBD and THC is spreading around the world over the past few years for its ability to treat conditions such as anxiety, chronic pain, epilepsy, addictions, among others.
The research provided both types of inhaled cannabinoids by vaporization and subsequently completed a driving route 100 kilometers on the highway 40 minutes and 4 hours later.
Those samples where the mixture between the two components was used caused some alteration of motor skills 40 minutes after consuming, more not, 4 hours later. CBD samples did not have this impact.
“With cannabis laws changing globally, jurisdictions try to figure out the issue of management. These results led to new knowledge of the magnitude and durationof thisaffectation caused by different types of cannabis,” Arkell said.
The testing method included 26 healthy participants who were added toi4 different types of cannabis. Each of thee participants was measured their skills separately. These analyses were carried out under the supervision of Maastricht University in the Netherlands.
“This is the first study to illustrate the lack of alterationin driving by theeffects of CBD and also the duration of that alteration with THC.”
