How age affects smoked and oral THC effects
Treatments studied
Part of Mental health, Pain clinical trials.
This early-stage study compares how people in different age groups respond to THC taken by smoking versus by mouth. It aims to understand age-related differences in effects and safety, which could help guide safer use in the future.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests how high potency cannabis affects mood, thinking, and pain sensitivity in people who smoke cannabis almost every day. It will help researchers understand both immediate and long-lasting effects.
This study looks at whether different types of cannabis (containing THC and/or CBD) might help people who use cannabis regularly reduce potential harms. You will be asked to take cannabis in a controlled setting and complete tasks and questionnaires.
This early (Phase 1) study tests how an oral THC and CBD product affects the body in healthy adults who use cannabis only rarely. It may help researchers understand safety and effects before larger studies.
This early study measures how a THC dose (by mouth or vaporized form) moves through the body and how it affects the body’s responses. It mainly looks at safety and how THC behaves in older adults, including people who have used cannabis before.
This study uses brain scans (fMRI) to see how THC (the active ingredient in cannabis) affects the brain as people age. If you are a cannabis user without current dependence or health issues, you may help researchers understand these effects.
This trial studies how a single dose of THC (the active ingredient in cannabis) affects older adults. It aims to understand the effects in this age group, which may help guide safe use.
