NCT05276232

Brief Summary

Subjects will participate in a 2-visit study protocol in which they will be administered cannabis of pre-determined concentrations and asked to complete a simulated drive in a driving simulator. Subjects will be scanned on two SpotLight-THC (Alpha and Beta iterations) devices and peripheral venous whole blood will be collected from subjects for analysis on up to four occasions on each visit. The purpose of the investigation will be to determine whether the SpotLight-THC device is a reliable measure of THC impairment at the roadside, with an objective to identify a unique blood analyte architecture for THC impairment using near infrared light and machine learning.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Change in Acute Subjective Response to Cannabis Score

    The total score of the true responses (true/false scale, minimum score is 0 with a maximum score of 12). A higher score indicates greater drug effect. Used to determine subjective level of drug effect.

    At baseline, 20, 30, 60, 90, 120 and 180 minutes

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Standard Deviation of Lateral Position (SDLP) - Undistracted

    Over a 20 minute drive conducted at 30, 90 and 180 minutes post dose

  • Standard Deviation of Lateral Position (SDLP) - Distracted

    Over a 20 minute drive conducted at 30, 90 and 180 minutes post dose

  • Blood Delta-9-THC

    At baseline, 20, 90, and 180 minutes

Study Arms (2)

Baseline followed by 5-10% THC Validation

EXPERIMENTAL
Drug: Cannabis(THC) inhaled

Baseline followed by 5-10% THC Verification

EXPERIMENTAL
Drug: Cannabis(THC) inhaled

Interventions

Cannabis vapor is produced from 500mg, approximately 5-10% High dose bulk cannabis plant material, 30-37.5 mg THC

Baseline followed by 5-10% THC ValidationBaseline followed by 5-10% THC Verification

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersYes
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Adults aged at least 18 years old
  • Must self-report use of cannabis at least once a month
  • Has held a valid driver's license at least 12 months
  • Must be willing to abstain from using cannabis and alcohol for 24 hours prior to each session
  • Must be willing to abstain from all other drugs not medically required for duration of the study (beginning 24 hours prior to the screening visit)
  • Must be able to drive without special or non-standard equipment
  • Must be able to meet study time commitment
  • Provides written and informed consent

You may not qualify if:

  • Diagnosis of severe medical or psychiatric condition (as judged by study physician)
  • Evidence of substance use disorder as reflected by total scores on DUDIT and AUDIT
  • Regular user of medication that may affect cognitive functioning and/or driver performance (e.g., antidepressants, benzodiazepines, stimulants, opioids) as judged by study physician
  • Family history of schizophrenia or other psychotic disorder (or taking medications for such)
  • Pregnant or test positive for pregnancy, looking to become pregnant, or breastfeeding
  • Respiratory or pulmonary disorder that would negatively affect ability to inhale and hold the cannabis dose
  • Recent (past 6 months) head injury or stroke, or current symptoms from prior head injury or stroke
  • History of heart disease, angina, heart attack, heart surgery, or myocardial infarction (or taking medications for such)
  • Untreated/Untreatable vision or auditory issues (because testing currently requires both senses)
  • History of suicidal behaviors in past two years
  • Excessive tobacco use (more than 10 cigarettes a day or 3 or more cigars or pipes per day)
  • Excessive caffeine use (6 or more servings per day)
  • Excessive alcohol (14 or more drinks per week)
  • Regular use of pain medications other than OTC
  • Use of prescription drugs not prescribed to them or illicit drugs other than cannabis
  • +6 more criteria
