@kuba@toot.kuba-orlik.name Part1/2 From the same scientist(https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/s2215-0366(26)00015-5): Our meta-analysis revealed that a combination of cannabidiol and delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol reduced cannabis withdrawal symptoms (SMD -0·29, 95% CI -0·57 to -0·02) and weekly grams of cannabis use (-1·00, -1·69 to -0·30) among those with cannabis use disorder, and a reduction in tic severity among those with tic or Tourette's Syndrome (-0·68, -1·03 to -0·34) compared with placebo.
