A Controlled Study of Extended Cannabis Abstinence in Major Depression
FY 2022-23
Summary
The proposed study would determine the effects of controlled cannabis abstinence for up to 56 days in people with major depression (100 participants), to allow us to determine how a clinically relevant period of stopping cannabis use in these patients would alter clinical symptoms (e.g. depression, anxiety, and low motivation) and cognitive function (e.g. memory, attention, judgement). Our study results may provide us with important new information of the effects of cannabis use in people with clinical depression, and identify new methods to treat this common co-morbidity.
