Study Summary

This trial is designed to study the effects of a cannabis plant constituent, cannabigerol (CBG), on healthy adults. The study will use a placebo-controlled, double-blind design, meaning that neither the participants nor the researchers will know who is receiving the CBG until after the study is completed. The study will consist of 5 conditions, with increasing doses of CBG given orally. Each condition will last for 8 hours, during which time the effects of the CBG will be studied.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for healthy adults aged 18-55 with a BMI of 18-30 kg/m2, who have used cannabis before but not in the last 30 days. Participants must test negative for drugs and pregnancy, be non-pregnant, non-nursing if female, and not have donated blood recently. Those with heart issues, drug abuse history, or on certain medications are excluded.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests how different doses of oral CBG (a cannabis component) affect the body compared to a placebo. Healthy participants will try five dosing conditions in a controlled environment to assess CBG's effects and safety over an eight-hour period after each dose.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects aren't listed here, common reactions to cannabinoids like CBG may include dry mouth, dizziness, changes in appetite or mood swings. The study aims to identify any acute side effects from oral CBG administration.

Answered by AI

Is it dangerous to consume Oral CBG Cannabis?

"Oral CBG Cannabis received a score of 1 for safety. This is due to Phase 1 trials having limited data supporting both safety and efficacy."

Answered by AI

Are there any inclusions or exclusions for this research project?

"This clinical trial is enrolling 30 individuals who have previously abused hashish. Patients must be between 18-55 years old and meet the following requirements: They must have given written informed consent, be in good general health based on physical examination, medical history, vital signs, and screening urine/blood tests, test negative for recent cannabis use in urine at Screening Visit and again upon admission for experimental sessions, test negative for other drugs of abuse including alcohol at the Screening Visit and upon arrival for experimental session, not be pregnant or nursing (if female), have a body mass index (BMI) in the range of 18-"

Why did patients apply to this trial?

I am dealing with muscle weakness and joint pain and chronic fatigue that varies but seems to be exacerbated by stress; on cpap but still do not get restful sleep. Have taken many different drugs for depression but none have been totally effective. Not inclined to try marijuana as I am already overweight. Quit a 3x /week PT program after 7 weeks because of increase in joint/muscle pain.
