Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Previously experienced an adverse reaction to cannabinoids (e.g. anxiety, paranoia, naussea, vomiting) Having a family history of schizophrenia or other psychotic ilness

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The main study parameter is the sucrose intensity scaling (psychophysics) and liking (psychohedonics) of the milkshakes with the different sucrose concentrations.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
The first secondary objective it to assess if cannabinoids influence the preferred sucrose concentration and the total amount of milkshake consumed in the preference task. The second secondary objective is to see if the blood levels of endocannabinoids, leptin, ghrelin and insulin change during the course of the session and if there are differences between sessions. The third secondary objective is to follow plasma levels of THC or CBD and their active metabolites. The fourth secondary study objective is changes in liking of food products and in food choice in the food preference task. This also includes reaction time for the food choice questions. The fifth and final secondary study objective is the genetic determination of the enzymes responsible for the metabolism of THC and CBD.
