Filter by:Delta-8-THC is an isomer of delta-9-THC that has become widely available due to the legalization of hemp and its derivatives. Very little controlled research has been conducted with delta-8-THC and some research suggests it produces similar effects to delta-9-THC, albeit at lower potency. The present study will evaluate the dose effects of delta-8-THC, compared with delta-9-THC, on simulated driving performance, field sobriety tests, cognitive performance, and biomarkers of exposure to cannabinoids. The results will inform policy and education related to impairment due to acute delta-8-THC exposure via vaporization and oral ingestion.
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.
This is a crossover, randomized, double-blinded clinical pharmacology study enrolling dual cannabis-tobacco smokers to better understand the combined effects of co-administering cannabis and tobacco. The project aims to describe the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of marijuana-tobacco co-administration by delivering THC and nicotine in various combinations. This foundational study will establish a research program focused on elucidating the public health consequences of marijuana-tobacco co-use.
This pilot study will evaluate the feasibility and safety of using 1:1 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC):Cannabidiol (CBD) cannabis oil as an adjunct therapy to methadone-based Opioid Agonist Therapy (OAT) for individuals with opioid use disorder (OUD) in a community setting.
The number of youngsters abusing cannabis is surging, the public health consequences caused by cannabis can be unpredictable. Educating the public especially the young population about cannabis need to be highlighted. To successfully promote anti-cannabis messages to youngsters and prevent them from taking cannabis, the involvement of their parents and modern technology such as robots can be helpful. This project aims to educate the young population and their parents about cannabis, particularly its legal consequences and clarifying their misconceptions.
In France, consumption levels of alcohol, tobacco and cannabis remain high despite changes in regulations aimed at limiting access to these products and repeated prevention campaigns. The various Presidential Plans for the treatment and prevention of addictions for 2007-2011 and 2018-2022 show the concern of the public authorities on the issue of multiple consumption, encouraging general practitioners to identify and research this issue. In order to better identify and evaluate high-risk cannabis use, the French Observatory for Drugs and Drug Addiction has developed a detection tool: The Cannabis Abuse Screening Test (CAST). Although recommended in France, this questionnaire has never been tested in real primary care conditions, directly with patients consulting general medicine. The main objective of this study is the validation of a scale for the identification of problematic cannabis use, CAST, with a response modality according to a Likert scale (rated from 0 to 4 : 0 "never", 1 "rarely", 2 "occasionally", 3 "quite often", 4 "very often") or a binary response modality (response by 1 "Yes" or 0 "No") in patients who have used cannabis in the past 12 months, followed in general practice and in 3 age categories (15-18 years, 18-25 years and 25-45 years). The secondary objective is to analyze the polydrug use of alcohol and tobacco, and then the relationship between them and the level of cannabis use. This validation study of diagnostic scales in real-life situations with general medicine patients allows us to focus on the human and social sciences and public health. Although it has now been established that there is a synergy between several addictive substances with respect to cancer risks, few studies have focused on the early identification of misuse or polydrug use. However, it has been shown that general practitioners (GPs) are effective and relevant players in these fields. Because of their holistic vision of the patient, GPs are in the best position to identify consumers at risk of complications without blaming, dramatizing or trivializing. It is therefore necessary to provide GPs with early detection tools to promote contact between these patients and the healthcare system.
The purposes of this study are 1) to determine if the administration of different low doses of CBD (5 mg, 20 mg, 50 mg and 100 mg) result in detectable subjective pleasant drug effect compared to placebo and 2) to qualitatively explore whether low dose CBD is associated with effects that are not detected with the available research tools.
A double blind randomized placebo controlled trial in 44 women with fibromyalgia and persistent symptoms in spite of use of conventional pharmacotherapy, will be performed in the city of Valparaiso. Patients will be randomized to either placebo or active principle and be followed for 3 months. Assesment of efficacy and safety will be done by measurement of changes in their Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ) score, Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) score, pain Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score, plasma cytokine levels and detection of adverse effects. The active principle will be a standardized extract of cannabis sativa containing 1 milligram of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and 0.45 milligrams cannabidiol (CBD) per drop.
