ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06099379

What this study is testing

What is ∆9-tetrahydrocannabinol?

∆9-tetrahydrocannabinol is an investigational medicine, given as an inhaled treatment, being studied as a potential treatment for cannabis.

Also referred to as Cannabidiol.

Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.

What it's testing
The purposes of this study are 1) to determine if CBD modulates THC-induced acute psychoactive effects at different CBD:THC ratios, compared with the control product (0:20, 20:20, 40:20, 80:20, 120:20) and 2) to determine if different doses of CBD modulate other THC induced behavioral effects, compared with the control product and 3)To explore qualitatively whether CBD modulates THC effects by mechanisms that are not detected with standard clinical research tools.
