Note: Responses were measured at 08:00 on Day 1 (after at least 15.5–18 h of cannabis abstinence; no prior THC administration) and just before morning THC dose on Days 2 (08:00, after 60 mg total THC), 4 (10:00, after 260 mg total THC) and 6 [10:00 (10:30 for cardiovascular variables), after 480 mg total THC]. Subjective responses were assessed with 100 mm visual-analogue scales defined as indicated. Values presented as mean ± SD.
*p < 0.05.
†p < 0.1 for change across the six days.
‡p < 0.05 for Day 1 versus Day 2 change.
§p < 0.05 for Day 2 versus Day 6 change.
