Summary
The non-psychotomimetic cannabis compound cannabidiol (CBD) has been found effective for
reducing alcohol drinking in mice. Moreover, other experimental studies have found that CBD
reduced alcohol-induced steatosis in the liver, and reduced alcohol-related injury in the
brain. Despite these promising results from animal data, no human study has been conducted
yet in alcohol use disorder (AUD).
