What this study is testing
What is Broad Spectrum Cannabidiol (bsCBD) 400 mg?
Broad Spectrum Cannabidiol (bsCBD) 400 mg is an investigational medicine, given as an once-daily pill taken by mouth, being studied as a potential treatment for cannabis use disorder.
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 investigators will study the harm-reducing effect of hemp-derived CBD in non-treatment-seeking emerging adults who use cannabis regularly. The study will use a novel naturalistic cannabis administration approach, which examines ecologically valid cannabis use utilizing a mobile lab setting to assess the effects of the cannabis products the participants regularly use.
- Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works
- Time commitment: about 8 weeks
- You might receive a placebo (an inactive treatment) instead of the study drug.
