Study Summary

This study tests the effects of cannabinoid levels in blood on inflammation and insulin sensitivity both acutely and chronically in individuals across the weight spectrum. To that end, the study employs two observational designs: 1) A study of acute effects with intermittent cannabis users and 2) A study in which current cannabis users will select one of three cannabis strains for four weeks and are compared to a matched control group who do not use cannabis to study chronic effects. Blood levels of THC and CBD, inflammatory biomarkers, and insulin resistance will be measured in both studies.

Primary Outcome

Change in Circulating Levels of Cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β, IL-12, IFNG, and IL-4). Results are reported as a composite score of TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β, IL-12, IFNG, and IL-4

Interventions

  • OTHER Study A: Single use of cannabis flower product
  • OTHER Study B: Ad libitum cannabis use for four weeks or no cannabis use
