Description

Summary

This is an unblinded pilot study of an environmental exposure to secondhand cannabis smoke in one group of healthy nonsmokers.

Details

The goal is to gather accurate information on uptake of smoke toxicants from cannabis exposures in the real world. The investigators will be taking healthy nonsmokers to public places where people are consuming cannabis and measuring their uptake of cannabinoids.

  • Have diastolic blood pressure <100
  • Have BMI between 18.1 and 34.9
  • Able to perform moderate exercise,
  • Are not exposed to tobacco or cannabis SHS in their daily lives. (Nonsmoking status and low SHS exposure are determined by self-report on the screening questionnaire, salivary cotinine < 10 ng/ml and THC < 50 ng/m and exhaled CO2 below 4 ppm)
