The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) administration on motivational, subjective, and physiological effects of electronic cigarettes. The study's goals are to test demand for e-cigarettes, tobacco craving, affect, heart rate, blood pressure, expired breath carbon monoxide, and cognitive performance. Researchers will compare multiple doses of THC and a placebo in participants who smoke e-cigarettes and either smoke or vape THC in the laboratory.
A full-factorial laboratory study will be conducted to determine the impact of acute THC administration on the dose-related motivational, subjective, and physiological effects of electronic cigarettes. This study will employ a double-blind, placebo-controlled, within-subjects crossover design to examine the dose-effects of THC on e-cigarette use. The study will use multiple active doses of THC and placebo (0, 5, and 30 mg; corresponding to 0, 1, and 6 standard THC unit doses). Participants will be randomized to either smoked or vaporized THC administration using a between-subjects approach to evaluate the effect of congruent versus incongruent routes of THC and tobacco administration on study outcomes.

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Demand Intensity | Consumption of e-cigarette puffs at unconstrained price as measured by an incentivized demand task. Minimum value is 0, maximum value is not constrained. Higher scores indicate more consumption at unconstrained price (a worse outcome). | 45 minutes after THC or placebo administration |
| Demand Elasticity | Changes in e-cigarette consumption with changes in price as measured by an incentivized demand task. There is no minimum or maximum value. Higher scores indicate greater cigarette price sensitivity (a better outcome). | 45 minutes after THC or placebo administration |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Minnesota Nicotine Withdrawal Scale (MNWS) | A subjective effect measure of nicotine withdrawal. Minimum value is 0, maximum value is 68. Higher scores indicate greater nicotine withdrawal (a worse outcome). Primary outcomes will be the peak change from baseline. | Baseline, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, 4 hours, 5 hours, and 6 hours post THC or placebo administration. |

Score minimum is 7, Score Maximum is 35. Primary outcomes will be the peak change from baseline. | Baseline, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, 4 hours, 5 hours, and 6 hours post THC or placebo administration. |
| Drug Effect Questionnaire for Like Drug | The Drug Effect Questionnaire will be administered using a visual analog scale. Participants place a mark on a 100mm line with the left endpoint labeled Not at All and the right endpoint labeled Extremely.
