Treatment
Active inhaled cannabis
\~450 mg of active cannabis, which is roughly equivalent to smoking 1/4 of a marijuana cigarette, or "joint". Administered over 20 minutes via a vaporizer.
Arms:
Active THC and Active Ethanol, Active THC and Placebo Ethanol
Placebo
Approximately 4 drinks of orange juice or ginger ale covered with a trace amount of ethanol on the surface, each administered over approximately 10 minutes.
Arms:
Active THC and Placebo Ethanol, Placebo THC and Placebo Ethanol
Active Oral Ethanol
0.4 g/kg ethanol in orange juice or ginger ale to reach a target BrAC of approximately 0.04%. This dose is equivalent to approximately 2 standard drinks over 1 hour. Approximately 4 drinks, each administered over approximately 10 minutes.
Arms:
Active THC and Active Ethanol, Placebo THC and Active Ethanol
Placebo
No active cannabinoids. Administered over 20 minutes via a vaporizer.
Arms:
Placebo THC and Active Ethanol, Placebo THC and Placebo Ethanol
