What this trial studies

This study investigates the acute effects of cannabigerol (CBG) on various psychological and physiological outcomes in healthy adults. Participants aged 21 and older will be recruited and randomly assigned to receive either a CBG tincture or a placebo in two separate testing sessions. The study will assess outcomes such as anxiety, stress, mood, memory, heart rate, and potential side effects like sleepiness and dry mouth. The goal is to better understand both the beneficial and detrimental effects of CBG on human health.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are healthy adults aged 21 and older who are fluent in English and do not have serious psychiatric or neurological disorders.

Not a fit: Patients with serious psychiatric disorders, neurological conditions, or those who are pregnant or breastfeeding may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide insights into the therapeutic potential of CBG for managing stress and anxiety.

How similar studies have performed: While studies on cannabinoids have been conducted, the specific focus on CBG's acute effects is relatively novel and less explored.
