Summary

This trial aims to study how cannabis affects mental and physical states like mood, cognition, perception, and heart rate. Participants will be in the study for about a week, spending 2.5 hours

Who is the study for?
This study is for individuals who use cannabis, with or without a history of cannabis abuse, and are interested in how it affects their mood, thinking, perception of temperature and pain, as well as heart rate. Participants will be involved for about one week.
What is being tested?
The trial is exploring the impact of smoking cannabis on mental and physical responses by varying water temperatures (CW and WW) during tests. It involves two visits over a week totaling around 2.5 hours to complete the tasks.
