Description

Are you a regular cannabis user? Are you between the ages of 21 and 34? Do you want to contribute to the science of cannabis and sleep? If you answered yes to the above, you may be eligible for a study investigating the effect of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) on sleep. Scientists at OHSU are looking for volunteers for a study on the effect of THC on sleep in humans. Eligible participants will be between the age of 21 and 34 years old with a BMI less than 35 and free of any acute, chronic or debilitating medical conditions. Participants must be regular cannabis users (smoked, or digested weekly for the past 3 months). Further eligibility is determined during a medical evaluation at no cost to you. Researchers at OHSU aim to investigate how behaviors and the body’s internal clock affect the control of the heart and blood pressure. After 2-4 screening visits, eligible study volunteers will maintain a set sleep schedule at home for up to 3 weeks and then spend 3 consecutive nights at our facility. Sleep and other measurements will be performed, and dronabinol (oral THC) will be administered in the lab. Receive up to $805 for study completion as well as reasonable parking and transportation cost coverage.
