| Primary | fMRI neural correlates of emotional brain processes in recreational cannabis users after 72 hours of abstinence | Activation patterns in brain regions known to be involved in emotional processing and to be altered by cannabis use (e.g. striatum, prefrontal cortex, insula, ACC) | one time point = fMRI assessment after 72 hours of abstinence | |
| Secondary | Ratings of subjective experience (affect, craving) | one time point = during fMRI assessment after 72 hours of abstinence |
