What this research studies
We want to understand how CBD changes the way people experience THC, and if these effects involve the body's natural endocannabinoid system. Our team will use special mobile labs to collect biological samples and observe immediate effects on thinking and behavior. Participants will receive either CBD or a placebo, and we will carefully adjust the doses to see how different hemp-derived products influence THC's effects. This approach allows us to study these interactions in a real-world setting.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal participants would be emerging, middle-aged, and older adults who use or are interested in cannabis products containing THC and CBD.
Not a fit: Patients not interested in cannabis use or those with specific medical conditions that prevent participation may not directly benefit from this particular research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: This work could help us better understand the health effects of cannabis and guide safer use, especially as these products become more common.
How similar studies have performed: Research on the combined effects of THC and CBD, especially across different age groups and using mobile labs, is currently limited, making this a novel approach.
