Brief Summary
The use of cannabis with ∆9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) content has been shown to have negative effects on vision and driving. The use of other cannabinoids, such as cannabidiol (CBD), which is not attributed with a psychoactive effect, is increasing significantly. This project aims to investigate whether consuming CBD can negatively affect visual function by assessing a wide range of visual parameters and whether these changes may pose a risk for everyday activities such as driving.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (5)
Change in Overall Driving Performance Score (ODPS) after cannabidiol vaporization
To obtain the ODPS, Z-scores were calculated from individual parameters such as the standard deviation of the lateral lane position or the distance travelled into the opposite lane. The z-score is defined as a measure of how many standard deviations an individual value is below or above the group mean. The average Z-score of the individual driving variables is called the ODPS.
Participants are assessed 20 minutes after vaporization
Change in motion detection sensitivity after cannabidiol vaporization
The subject has to indicate the direction of movement of a pattern of moving dots. The percentage of correct answers is obtained for different degrees of coherence.
Participants are assessed 20 minutes after vaporization
Change in contrast sensitivity after cannabidiol vaporization
Contrast thresholds are obtained for different spatial frequencies
Participants are assessed 20 minutes after vaporization
Change in visual acuity after cannabidiol vaporization
Visual acuity is assessed with a commercial test for distance vision.
Participants are assessed 20 minutes after vaporization
Change in fixations after cannabidiol vaporization
The number of fixations made on different stimuli of interest in a task environment is counted using an eye tracker system.
Participants are assessed 20 minutes after vaporization
Secondary Outcomes (4)
