Official title
The Effects of Repeated CBD Administration on Cannabis Abuse Liability and Analgesia: A Human Laboratory Study
Overview
This outpatient study examines how cannabidiol (CBD) affects the behavioral and pain-relieving effects of cannabis.
Interventions
- Drug Cannabidiol, Medium Dose
Active Cannabidiol: Active cannabidiol (medium dose) will be administered orally for 14 days. - Drug Cannabidiol, Higher Dose
Description: Active Cannabidiol: Active cannabidiol (higher dose) will be administered orally for 14 days. - Drug Active Inhaled Cannabis
Active Marijuana: Active Marijuana (active inhaled cannabis) will be administered through a vaporizer once per study session day (Day 1, 7, 14) per block (3 blocks total). - Drug Placebo Cannabidiol
Inactive/Placebo Cannabidiol: Inactive/placebo cannabidiol will be administered orally for 14 days. - Drug Placebo Inhaled Cannabis
Inactive/Placebo Marijuana: Experimental, non-therapeutic administration of an inactive/placebo marijuana dose will be administered through a vaporizer at each study session day (Days 1, 7, 14) per block (3 blocks total).
Primary outcome measures
- Change from Baseline-Subject-Related Outcome-VAS Drug Liking [Time frame: Days 1 (baseline), 7, 14, prior to and in regular intervals after drug administration for the duration of the session (approx. 8 hours per session).]
- Change from Baseline-Marijuana Purchase Task: Elasticity [Time frame: Days 1 (baseline), 7, 14, measured ~3 hours post cannabis administration.]
Secondary outcome measures (3)
- Change from Baseline-Cold Pressor Test (CPT) Threshold [Time frame: Days 1 (baseline), 7, 14, This outcome will be recorded before and at two additional intervals after active and placebo cannabis administration during the laboratory session (a total of 6 measurements per session).]
- Change from Baseline-Cold Pressor Test (CPT) Tolerance [Time frame: Days 1 (baseline), 7, 14, This outcome will be recorded before and at two additional intervals after active and placebo cannabis administration during the laboratory session (a total of 6 measurements per session).]
- Change from Baseline-Cold Pressor Visual Analog Scale (CPT-VAS): Painful [Time frame: Days 1 (baseline), 7, 14, This outcome will be recorded before and after the CPT for a total of 6 measurements per session.]
Eligibility criteria
Inclusion criteria
- English-speaking, literate adults,
- Male or female,
- Between the ages of 18-55,
- Body Mass Index from 18.5-32.0 kg/m2,
- Not currently seeking treatment for cannabis or drug use,

- If female, a negative pregnancy test and use of an effective form of contraception during study participation (e.g., oral contraceptive, abstinence, barrier method),
- Negative urine drug test for drugs of abuse (other than cannabis) prior to every Laboratory Session, and
- Otherwise healthy as determined by the investigator based on medical history, physical examination, vital signs, and laboratory chemistries.
Exclusion criteria
- Physiologic drug dependence on opioids, benzodiazepines, barbiturates, and/or alcohol that would require medical management,
- Clinically significant acute medical problem (e.g., infection) or chronic medical problem requiring daily medication or ongoing medical care (e.g., hypertension, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, respiratory disorders \[e.g., asthma, COPD\]),
- Current or past history of major psychiatric disorder that would limit ability to participate in the study,
- Use of cannabis exclusively for medical reasons (no recreational use reported),
- Current, unrelenting chronic pain that prevents participation (i.e., unable to sit in chair for 8 hours),
- Currently using daily prescription medications to manage medical conditions or any drug that could interfere with the study, including potent CYP2C9, CYP3A4, or CYP2C19 inducers,
- Clinically significant abnormal ECG (as determined by study physician/cardiologist),
- Clinically significant abnormal laboratory findings,
- History of seizure disorder,
- Clinically significant history of head injuries requiring medical management or long lasting sequalae, and
- Self-report of past 30-day use of synthetic cannabis (i.e., K2, Spice).
Criteria are shown verbatim from the registry (in English). Final eligibility is always assessed by the study center.
