Exercise and brain function in cannabis users
This study looks at how a single session of exercise affects brain function and memory in regular cannabis users compared to non-users. You will exercise on a bike or watch a movie, and then do memory tests and a blood draw.

This study looks at how cannabis use affects brain activity and attention. It compares heavy users and non-users to understand the effects on memory and focus.
This study looks at how cannabis affects thinking and mood. If you join, you'll have a session where you use cannabis and then do some thinking and mood tasks, to see how it affects you.
This study tests whether THC, the active compound in cannabis, changes how the brain processes information during memory tasks. It uses brain scans (MEG and EEG) to see these effects in healthy adults who have used cannabis before.
This study tests whether regular exercise can help young adults reduce or stop their cannabis use. It may be a good fit if you are 18-40, use cannabis as your main drug, and want to try an exercise-based approach.
This study uses brain imaging to understand how thinking works in people who use cannabis, comparing those with psychosis to people without psychosis. It may help researchers learn what brain patterns relate to thinking difficulties and how cannabis use fits in.
This study looks at how THC (the main active ingredient in marijuana) and CBD (a non-psychoactive compound) affect memory. You'd receive either THC, CBD, or a placebo and then have your brain scanned with an MRI. It's designed for people who have used marijuana occasionally but are otherwise healthy.
