Overview
Brief Summary
New methods for the treatment and support of Veterans experiencing sleep issues is critically needed. LEVEL's unique, targeted effects-based cannabis products provide a unique opportunity to study the therapeutic safety and efficacy of cannabigerol (a non-psychoactive cannabinoid) with a controlled dosage. Study participants will participate in an interventional, placebo-controlled, triple-blind pre-post study design. Participants will have a four-week run-in phase followed by an eight-week treatment phase with a CBG ProtabTM or placebo ProtabTM in a swallowable tablet form. During the study, participants will answer questions assessing their sleep, alcohol and drug use, and quality of life, among others. They will also wear a Fitbit Inspire 2 to collect biometric data.
