10-30minutes of exercising on the treadmill over a period of 2-weeks helped curb the craving for the use of cannabis by almost 50%.
Exercising
can curb marijuana cravings and use. This new research has been conducted by
the Vanderbilt University Medical Centre.
Researchers studied a group of
people who were dependant on cannabis and did not want treatment to help them
give up this habit. They found that a 10-30minutes of exercising on the
treadmill over a period of 2-weeks helped curb the craving for the use of cannabis
by almost 50%. This study is of great importance since presently there is no
way to treat cannabis dependence.
The findings of the study are published in the
'Public Library of Science journal One.'
