Primary | "craving" measured using the Marijuana craving questionaire and the tobacco craving questionaire | Subjective measures of craving for cannabis, tobacco, and both Questionaires are anchored with strongly disagree to strongly agree (1-7) | collected on each study day | No |
Primary | reinforcing effects, as measured using the Multiple Choice Questionaire | Reinforcement value of cannabis and tobacco as measured by preference for money over the administration of either drug; questionaire has 70 questions and money value vs. drug ranges from 25 cents to 25 dollars 1-70. | collected each day of study | No |
Secondary | sleep quality | A VAS sleep questionnaire will be used each morning to assess daily sleep quality. | collected on each study day | No |
Secondary | Neurocognitive Function | The purpose of examining the neurocognitive function of our participants on days 1-4 is to examine the safety of the co-administration of aprepitant at 160 mg/day with oral THC (dronabinol 10 mg) on brain function. Tasks used are the DSST - The Digit Symbol Substitution Test measures the learning of integrating visual and motor skills, and the SRTT- The Simple reaction Time Task is a well validated computerized test for assessing the effects of psychoactive drugs on performance. | collected on days 1-4 of the study | Yes |
Secondary | Number of Participants with Adverse Events as a Measure of Safety and Tolerability | Blood pressure, pulse, and a Systematic Assessment For Treatment Emergent Events (SAFTEE) are collected daily. Electrocardiograms (EKGs) are collected at baseline and discharge. | each day of study | Yes |
