Cannabis' Impact on Alcohol Consumption

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

This study employs a repeated measures experimental design to examine the effect of THC-dominant dose of cannabis and CBD-dominant dose of cannabis, relative to placebo, on subsequent drinking in an alcohol choice task in which participants choose either to drink or receive monetary reinforcement for drinks not consumed. Cannabis will be administered simultaneously with an alcohol-priming dose or alcohol placebo. The study will enroll up to 350 nontreatment-seeking heavy episodic alcohol drinkers who use cannabis weekly.

Clinical Trial Description

This study employs a repeated measures experimental design to examine the effect of THC-dominant (9.53% THC and 0.09% CBD) dose of cannabis and CBD-dominant (0.35% THC and 11.27% CBD) dose of cannabis, relative to placebo, on subsequent drinking in an alcohol choice task in which participants choose either to drink or receive monetary reinforcement for drinks not consumed. Cannabis will be administered simultaneously with an alcohol-priming dose or alcohol placebo. The study will enroll up to 350 nontreatment-seeking heavy episodic alcohol drinkers who use cannabis weekly to obtain the final sample of 200 with complete data. Participants will be tested at a baseline session, during three experimental sessions, and then during a subsequent 4-week period in the natural environment using a smart-phone application. Findings have important implications for cannabis regulatory science and alcohol use disorder treatment by addressing the relative impact of specific cannabinoids as well as contextual risk in cannabis-alcohol co-use. ;
