Study Background
Researchers at Indiana University are conducting a research study to evaluate brain function in cannabis users.
Findings from this clinical research study will determine cerebellar function and neurobehavioral effects in cannabis users compared to healthy volunteers.
Participants will attend study visits at the research lab on 1-3 separate days, for approximately 8 total hours over the 1-3 study days. On the first day, participants will be asked about their health, personality, and drug use, and complete some tests of thinking and memory. They would also be asked about their current and past mental health experiences in an interview format and complete a urine drug screen. The next visit would consist of the MRI and tests of balance, movement, and perception.
