Actual (reported)Marijuana is one of the most widely used substances. However, marijuana intoxication is not fully understood in relation to driving. This study will help the investigators learn more about the potential impairments related to marijuana intoxicated driving. A combination of MRI and neuropsychological tests (which are computer and paper/pencil tasks) will be used to measure intoxication and impairment. This study will also assess levels of marijuana in blood and saliva samples. This study takes place in Hartford, Connecticut.

Actual (reported)Change in performance on fMRI simulated driving Gap Acceptance Task
The Gap Acceptance Task measures strategic control of the vehicle. Strategic control of the vehicle is measured by size of headway gaps that the participant chooses in pulling out into a stream of traffic.
Post drug administration at: 30 min, 3 hours and 5.25 hours
Change in performance on fMRI simulated driving Road Tracking Task.
The Road Tracking Task measures operational control of the vehicle. Operational control is measured by standard deviation of lane position from the center point of the lane.
Post drug administration at: 30 min, 3 hours and 5.25 hours
Change in performance on fMRI simulated driving Car Following Task.
The Car Following Task measures tactical control of the vehicle. Tactical control of the vehicle is measured by following distance from a lead vehicle.
Post drug administration at: 30 min, 3 hours and 5.25 hours
Change in concentration of THC/metabolites in oral fluid tested using Draeger Drug Detection Kits
Saliva samples will be taken at 8 total time points throughout the day using the Draeger Drug Detection kits to assess for changes in concentration of THC and its metabolites.
Baseline and post drug administration at: 5 min, 20 min, 1 hr 10 min, 1 hr 45 min, 2 hrs 30 min, 4 hrs, and 6 hrs 30 min,
Change in performance on fMRI Set-Shifting paradigm.
Post drug administration at: 1.25 hours, 3.5 hours and 6 hours
Change in performance on fMRI Time Estimation paradigm.
Post drug administration at: 1.25 hours, 3.5 hours and 6 hours
People who use marijuana regularly will be given a low dose THC marijuana, high dose THC marijuana and placebo marijuana, in a randomized order, at the study visits.
People who use marijuana occasionally will be given a low dose THC marijuana, high dose THC marijuana and placebo marijuana, in a randomized order, at the study visits.
