Study Summary

This study will address whether cannabis affects antiretroviral therapy (ART) drug concentrations, mood, and thinking. The project will have two phases. Phase 1 is an observational study, in which 120 people will be assessed to evaluate the effects of chronic cannabis use on ART drug concentrations, mood, and thinking. In Phase 2, the study will administer cannabis (or placebo) to 40 people to examine its acute effects on ART drug concentrations.

Primary Outcome

This will be done separately for participants who use ART drugs that are predominantly metabolized by cytochrome P450 (CYP) or uridine 5'-diphospho-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) (estimated N=60 in each).
