How does cannabis affect brain activity?

31 January 2019

We are conducting a brain imaging study investigating the effects of cannabis. We are looking for people aged 16-17 and 26-29. We want people who sometimes use cannabis, but not daily users. You will get paid about £210 + travel reimbursed.



There are 4 sessions, spaced over a 4-8 week period, held at UCL and Hammersmith Hospital.



The study involves the administration of cannabis or an inactive placebo. You will have an MRI brain scan and complete cognitive tasks.
