Study Summary

The primary objective of this study is to determine if increasing age confers greater vulnerability to the acute A) cognitive (e.g., memory, attention, psychomotor function), B) subjective (e.g., anxiogenic and rewarding effects), and C) cardiovascular (heart rate and blood pressure), effects of THC in adults \> 21 years old. The secondary aims of the study are to explore age-related acute effects of THC on electrophysiological indices of information processing (e.g., auditory steady-state response (ASSR), oddball paradigm \[P300\], and resting state cortical noise) and to determine age-related differences in the metabolism of THC.

Primary Outcome

The task consists of 5 trials, an interference list, free delayed recall, and recognition.
