Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of a medication called oxytocin on craving, marijuana use, and therapy response in people who frequently use marijuana. .


Clinical Trial Description

Oxytocin has been shown to promote trust, social bonding, and calmness; however, its potential additive effects with a therapy intervention have not been explored in marijuana-dependent individuals. In the proposed study, the impact of intranasal oxytocin on therapy effectiveness, drug craving, and marijuana use outcomes following a brief therapy intervention will be investigated. It is hypothesized that oxytocin administration (vs. placebo) will improve treatment satisfaction, attenuate drug craving, and decrease marijuana use. ;
