Summary

This study looks at whether a single dose of cannabidiol (CBD) can help college students with social anxiety unlearn a fearful reaction faster. About 160 participants will first be conditioned to fear a face paired with a mild wrist shock, then receive either CBD or a placebo before being exposed to the faces again without shocks. Researchers will measure fear through sweat gland activity on the fingers and self-reported anxiety.
