This study will evaluate physiological and behavioral responses to vaporized delta9-Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD) administered via inhalation.

The proposed study will be conducted at the Johns Hopkins Behavioral Pharmacology Research Unit (BPRU). In this between-subjects study, participants will be randomized to complete 1 of 8 possible acute drug administration sessions in which participants will administer THC alone, CBD alone, THC and CBD together, or placebo. Following drug administration, participants will complete a performance session and complete a battery of questionnaires assessing subjective drug effects, mood, affect, and mental state. Vital signs and hormone levels will also be assessed before and after drug administration. The study will help the investigators understand the individual and interactive effects of THC and CBD, the two most common cannabis constituents.
