NCT ID NCT06647524
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how THC, the active ingredient in cannabis, temporarily affects memory, learning, and balance in adults aged 21 to 55 who have used cannabis before. Ten participants will complete memory tasks and balance tests inside an fMRI scanner after taking either THC or a placebo. The goal is to understand how THC changes brain activity and thinking, which may help explain age-related effects.
