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
