Aldwin Anterola

Aldwin Anterola is an Associate Professor at Southern Illinois University, Carbondale. Dr. Anterola is investigating CBD, a non-euphoriant compound from cannabis, as a promising alternative to opioid replacement therapy. By targeting critical receptors involved in withdrawal, CBD and other cannabinoids like cannabigerol may reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms without relying on opioids. This approach offers new hope for those hesitant to undergo traditional opioid replacement therapy and could also benefit those struggling with nicotine or cannabis addiction.
