Participate in the LOTUS study

With the increasing popularity of high-potency THC products, it is important that we both understand the implications of chronic use and how to help those who want to reduce their cannabis use. 

The aim of this study is to investigate whether CBD could be a viable intervention for people who want to quit or significantly reduce their consumption of high-potency THC concentrates. Longitudinal Outpatient Treatment for Cannabis Use (LOTUS) through the CUChange lab will examine any differences in efficacy between broad-spectrum CBD and full-spectrum CBD in reducing withdrawal symptoms when compared to a placebo. LOTUS study participation takes place over four months. However, your total time commitment will be 13 hours. Participants have seven in-person appointments and five therapy sessions focused on cannabis reduction.

In order to be eligible, participants must be at least 21 years old. Eligible participants can complete the screening.

Participants will be compensated and the end of every in-person appointment and can receive up to $390 dollars for their time and efforts.
