Summary

This study looks at how THC, the active ingredient in cannabis, affects memory, learning, and balance in adults aged 21 to 55 who have used cannabis before. Ten participants will complete two sessions—one with THC and one with a placebo—while undergoing brain scans and performing tasks. The goal is to understand how THC impairs thinking and coordination, which may help guide safer use.
