It is telling us that cannabinoids could play a potential therapeutic role in alcohol use disorder.
In an elaborate and provocative experiment, scientists doled out joints and constructed a fake bar in the laboratory.
They recruited about 160 people and found those who smoke the higher potency cannabis ended up drinking 27% less alcohol and the lower potency about 19% less compared to the placebo.
Jane Metrick at Brown University led the study.
Metric and other researchers acknowledge cannabis itself is not harm-free and concerns about the drug also need to be weighed, and that more research needs to be done before making any kind of recommendations.
