Summary

This study looks at how cannabis use and stress affect each other in young adults aged 18-25 with cannabis use disorder. Researchers will test whether a single dose of cannabidiol (CBD) can reduce withdrawal symptoms and stress, and delay the urge to use cannabis again. The goal is to understand sex differences and guide future treatments.

What this could lead to

If successful, this could point toward a tailored treatment for cannabis use disorder that helps young adults manage stress and reduce withdrawal symptoms.

What could go wrong

This is an early-phase study with a small sample, so results may not apply broadly. CBD may not significantly reduce stress or withdrawal, and participants can resume cannabis use during the trial.
