IRB: This study has been reviewed and approved by the WCG Institutional Review Board

Approximately 5% of adults between the ages of 18 to 25 have developed a cannabis use disorder (CUD). Currently there are no treatments specifically for CUD, but researchers are looking to change that.

Researchers from the Medical University of South Carolina are testing out a new potential medication for cannabis use disorder and they need participants. If successful, this could become an approved and widely available medication to help cannabis smokers reduce their use.

Interested in an opportunity to potentially help yourself and others? Consider joining this study!
