The purpose of the proposed study is to investigate the interaction of cannabidiol (CBD) and morphine effects on pain sensitivity. Cannabidiol is a cannabinoid (similar to cannabis, or marijuana) present in marijuana that alters some of the effects of marijuana.
Eligible participants will be asked to participate in a total of three experimental sessions with each session day separated by at least one week. Each session day will last approximately 6-7 hours.
In the morning of each of the three study sessions, participants will be asked to complete baseline assessments which include self-report questionnaires (answering questions about how they feel), vital sign measurements (blood pressure, heart rate, oxygen saturation, temperature, and pupillometry) will be taken using a non-invasive (external) vitals monitor, and lastly thermal (heat and cold) and mechanical sensitivity testing will be done.
Participants will be asked to take an oral morphine capsule.
Participants will participate in 2 smoking sessions where they will be asked to smoke cigarettes or a vaporizer balloon containing either cannabidiol or a placebo (a blank).
Participants will be asked to complete the same battery assessments mentioned above, which include self-report questionnaires (answering questions about how they feel); vital sign measurements (blood pressure, heart rate, oxygen saturation, temperature, and pupillometry) will be taken using a non-invasive (external) vitals monitor; and lastly thermal (heat and cold) and mechanical stimulation will be administered to test pain sensitivity.
Participants will be asked to complete subjective questionnaires and have vital signs (blood pressure, heart rate, oxygen saturation, temperature, and pupillometry) measured multiple times throughout the visit; these measurements will be monitored for reasons such as safety.
After completing the second round of smoking and battery assessments, participants will be provided with lunch and can relax, watch television, listen to music, or read.
Once vital signs and questionnaire ratings have returned to baseline levels; participants can leave the laboratory.

| CHANGE: PAIN THRESHOLD AND TOLERANCE Pain responses to a range of heat, cold and mechanical pressure stimuli | Change in pain threshold and tolerance is being assessed post each CBD drug use (0%and 9.7%) using Q-Sense Conditioned Pain Modulationâ„¢. A randomized series of 7 heat stimuli and 7 cold stimuli will be delivered via a thermode attached to the lower nondominant arm. A series of 7 pressure stimuli will be delivered with a pressure algometer to the opposite arm. | Pain responses measured at the start of the visit, baseline; 25 minutes post CBD 0% drug; 25 minutes post CBD 9.7% drug |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |

| SAFETY: Systolic blood pressure (physiological effects) | Safety is being assessed. | Systolic blood pressure measured at baseline; 30 and 45 minutes post-morphine; 15 minutes post CBD 0% drug; 15, 65, and 90 minutes post 9.7% CBD drug (final drug). |
| SAFETY: Diastolic blood pressure (physiological effects) |
