Study Summary

With the increasing prevalence and use of cannabis products by the public, there exists a need to better understand the safety impact of cannabis use, particularly when it comes to subjective perceptions of drug effect and driving impairment. This study aims to evaluate the dose-dependent effects of oral Δ9-THC alone and in combination with alcohol (0.08% BAC \[Blood Alcohol Concentration\]) on driving performance and subjective feeling in healthy adults. The results of this study will address current knowledge gaps on the effects of oral Δ9-THC on driving impairment across a clinically relevant dose range.

Primary Outcome

Simulated driving performance will be measured by the endpoint standard deviation of lateral position (SDLP) using a STISIM (model M4000-R) driving simulator after Δ9-THC administration (5 mg, 10 mg, 5 mg with alcohol, 10 mg with alcohol) compared to active control (alcohol alone).
