Application Areas - Opioid Addiction in US - CannaRAPID™ might be the answer for treating opioid addiction
United States is in the middle of an unprecedented opioid epidemic; Since 1999, the rate of overdose deaths involving opioids nearly quadrupled, and over 165,000 people have died from prescription opioid overdoses. Prescription pain medication deaths remain far too high, and in 2014, the most recent year on record, there was a sharp increase in heroin-involved deaths and an increase in deaths involving synthetic opioids such as fentanyl. Prevention, treatment, and research to rapidly tackle and reverse opioid overdoses are critical to fighting this epidemic.
Early data coming out of states where marijuana laws have been passed suggest that even as conventionally used, marijuana may be playing a role in offsetting the opioid addiction epidemic. Studies have shown that phytocannabinoids like cannabidiol have promising results in opioid withdrawal symptoms and heroin-seeking behavior.
Our studies have shown that cannabidiol can have promising improvements in opioid withdrawal symptoms by attenuating the rewarding effects of opioids. There is at least partial evidence that cannabinoid compounds can relieve from depression. Apotheca Biosciences is partnering with opioid addiction centers and clinical practitioners to conduct studies on the use of CannaRAPID for opioid addiction.
Apotheca Biosciences has built several strategic relations with physician groups and other healthcare entities to enhance the vision and mission of the company. The company also has joint development research with NuvusGro, a cannabis grow company and CB Scientific, an innovative medical device company. Our experienced and seasoned team of leaders push the boundaries of nature and science. Our team includes John Verghese, Deirdre Fernandes, Sam Talari and Dr. Steve Bucami. We are working diligently to bring on board world renown scientist to help us facilitate our growth.
