Table 1.

F-ratios and p-values comparing the slope of the control dose response curve (i.e. Δ9-THC alone) to that for Δ9-THC determined in the presence of a dose of test compound, as well as ED50 values, potency ratios, and corresponding 95% confidence limits (95% CL), in monkeys discriminating Δ9-THC (0.1 mg/kg i.v.)

Potency ratios and 95% confidence limits are the ED50 value of Δ9-THC determined in the presence of the test drug divided by the control ED50 value of Δ9-THC NA, not applicable, i.e. slopes were significantly different

*

Significant decrease in the potency of Δ9-THC

**

Significant increase in the potency of Δ9-THC

***

The ED50 value is the largest dose that did not decrease response rate to less than 20% control
