NCT ID NCT07434895

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This early-phase study is looking at how cannabidiol (CBD) affects the appeal and pain-relieving effects of cannabis. Researchers will give 23 healthy adults different doses of CBD for 14 days and then measure how much they like active cannabis and how it changes their pain sensitivity. The goal is to see if CBD can reduce cannabis abuse liability without blocking its pain relief.
