Summary

This study looks at how different doses of CBD oil affect driving performance in 300 healthy adults aged 18-30. Participants will take CBD or a placebo and then use a driving simulator to measure weaving, crashes, and reaction time. The goal is to understand if CBD causes drowsiness or impairs driving, and whether effects differ by dose or sex.
