Rimonabant 20 mg (subjects 1, 2, 3, 5, and 6), 40 mg (subjects 10, 11, and 13), or placebo (subjects 4 and 12) was given double-blind at 9:30 a.m. on day 9 after 8 days of escalating doses of oral dronabinol (40–120 mg/d). Systolic and diastolic blood pressure (BP; mm Hg) and heart rate (beats per minute) were assessed at the indicated time points. See text for methodological details.
