Study Overview

Brief Summary

The overarching goal of this study is to characterize the effects of ethanol and cannabinoids on simulated driving and related cognition.

Detailed Description

To study the effects of ethanol clamped at BAC 0.04% (equivalent to consuming approximately 2 drinks over 1 hour) and oral Dronabinol (10 mg capsule) on driving.
