2. Must have a Body Mass Index (BMI) = 18 to = 32 kg/m2 with weight = 50 kg at Screening;
3. Must have a negative urine drug screen at the Screening visit and the day before
dosing (Day -1); one repeat urine drug may be conducted for a suspected false positive
result;
4. Must be willing to abstain from the use of cannabis and other cannabinoid compounds
(other than the study drug) for the duration of the study (from the time of Screening
until the EOS visit);
5. Must be willing to abstain from smoking (including the use of tobacco or nicotine
products and e-cigarettes) for the duration of the study (from the time of Screening
until the EOS visit);
6. Must not have any hepatic and/or renal impairment as judged by the PI;
7. Must be willing and able to comply with all study procedures and be available for the
duration of the study (from the time of Screening until the EOS visit);
8. Must not be currently using anti-depressants (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors
[SSRIs], monoamine oxidase inhibitors [MOAIs], serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake
inhibitors [SNRIs], or tricyclic anti-depressants [TCAs]) for 14 days or 5 half-lives
of the drug, whichever is longer, prior to IP administration, and for the duration of
the study;
9. Must not have any current or past allergic or adverse reaction or known sensitivity to
olive oil, gelatin, glycerin and titanium dioxide, or to cannabinoid-like substances
(including but not limited to
Dronabinol/Marinol/Nabilone/marijuana/cannabis/tetrahydrocannabinol [THC], cannabinoid
oil);
10. Females must be non-pregnant and non-lactating and must use two forms ("double
contraception") of acceptable, highly effective contraception from Screening and for
12 weeks following the last dose of study drug. Double contraception is defined as a
condom AND one other form of the following:
1. Established hormonal contraception (with an approved oral contraceptive pill
[OCP]);
2. Depot or injectable birth control;
3. A vaginal ring or an intrauterine device ([IUD], with or without hormones); OR
4. Documented evidence of surgical sterilization as a single form of birth control,
at least 6 months prior to Screening (e.g., tubal ligation, hysterectomy,
bilateral salpingectomy, or bilateral oophorectomy for women, OR vasectomy for
men [with documented azoospermia 90 days after procedure] provided that partner
is the sole sexual partner).
Women not of childbearing potential must be post-menopausal (defined as cessation or
regular menstrual periods for at least 12 months). Post-menopausal status will be
confirmed through testing of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) consistent with
post-menopausal state based on lab reference ranges.
True subject abstinence for the duration of the study and 12 weeks after IP dosing is
acceptable only when the subject has not been sexually active at all during their
lifetime.
Periodic abstinence (e.g., calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, post-ovulation
methods), withdrawal (coitus interruptus), spermicides only, and lactational
amenorrhoea methods are not considered "true" abstinence and are not acceptable
methods of contraception.
Female participants who are in a long-term, same-sex, monogomous relationship are not
required to use contraception.
11. Male subjects of childbearing potential will be required to use condoms from Screening
until 12 weeks following the last dose of the study drug and to refrain from sperm
donation during the same period. Male subjects not of childbearing potential are
permanently sterile by bilateral orchidectomy or vasectomy (with documented
azoospermia 90 days after procedure).
Male participants who are in a long-term, same-sex, monogamous relationship are not
required to use contraception.
Male subjects should be informed that if a female partner becomes pregnant while he is
enrolled in the study, contact with the female partner will be attempted to request
her consent to collect pregnancy outcome information.
12. Women of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test at Screening and
Day -1 and be willing to have additional pregnancy tests, as required, throughout the
study, at the Investigator's discretion;
13. Males must not donate sperm and females must not donate ova from Screening until 12
weeks after the last dose of the study drug.

exposure to corona virus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) from the first Screening visit
until the EOS visit;
15. Must be willing and able to provide written informed consent after the nature of the
study has been explained and prior to the commencement of any study procedures;
16. Must be in good physical and mental health as determined by absence of any clinically
significant (in the opinion of the Investigator) abnormalities based on medical
history, physical examination, vital signs, triplicate 12-lead electrocardiogram
(ECG), clinical laboratory evaluations, at Screening and prior to administration of
the initial dose of study drug;
17. Must be able and willing to comply with all study requirements including:
1. Confinement to the CRU prior to and during study drug administration and required
follow-up periods for Part A SAD and Part B MAD
2. Refraining from using the following:
i. Any previous/current cannabis products within 2 months prior to Screening and
throughout the duration of the study (from the time of Screening until the EOS visit);
ii. Cannabis products (in the form of oil, vaporizer, or smoke) for the duration of
the study; iii. Prescription medications 14 days prior to administration of the first
dose of study drug; iv. Alcohol 48 hours prior to admission, and while confined to the
CRU. In addition, participants must agree to refrain from regular use of alcohol (i.e.
? 10 units per week or ? 4 units on any given day for men and women [1 unit = 150mL of
wine, 360 mL of beer, or 45 mL of 40% alcohol]) for the duration of the study; v.
Recreational drugs for the duration of the study.
18. For Part A SAD, participants must not have used cannabis or cannabinoid products
within 2 months prior to Screening.

any time during the study and for 12 weeks after final study drug administration;
