Why non-therapeutic research on cannabis?

In December 2022, Health Canada introduced these interventional studies with the following main objectives:

Increase scientific knowledge on cannabis and its non-therapeutic effects
Gain knowledge to inform public health and public safety measures, public education, and policy
Further research and development of cannabis products

We are inviting healthy volunteers to participate in our studies

Our non-therapeutic studies aim to understand how cannabis is processed in the human body in both fasting and fed conditions.
Depending on their study group, participants will take distinct oral cannabinoid formulations and undergo multiple blood draws.

Study Design

One or two single-time administrations of an oral cannabinoid product, depending on the study group.
Compensation for participation up to $1298.
Minimum of 4 and maximum of 8 visits at our Montreal clinic.

Study visits (all within one week)

One screening visit lasting 2 hours, with one blood draw.
One administration visit lasting 13 hours, with multiple blood draws.
Two follow-up visits, each lasting 1 to 2 hours, with one blood draw per visit.
Repetition of these visits in the next 3 months depending on your study group.
