Seeking Cannabis Users for Research Study

Researchers are seeking cannabis users for a study assessing the heart rate and blood pressure responses to smoking legal-market cannabis. You will wear an activity monitor and blood pressure monitor for 24 hours while you smoke cannabis. You will not be provided cannabis for this study. You'll report to our lab twice to be outfitted for the study and to drop the devices off when the study is over; the total time commitment in the lab will be about 1 hour. If you are between 21-45 years of age and have used cannabis at least twice a week for the last year, you are eligible to participate. If you have high blood pressure, use tobacco, or take certain medications that impact blood pressure, you are not eligible to participate in this study. If you are unsure, please contact the study team. For more information, please contact Matt Schubert, associate professor of Kinesiology, at [email protected].
