New paper 🚨: acute ‘CannTeen’ experiment where we administered vaporised #cannabis with and without #CBD to #adolescent and adult cannabis users. Teenagers were not more sensitive to cannabis, and CBD did not protect against memory impairment https://t.co/ESLns4RfSd 🧵1/8

@SkumlienMartine's analysis of our CannTeen-Acute experiment, in which we administered #cannabis to adolescents and adults, is published #OA in @BiologicalPsyc1 CNNI https://t.co/LV9rkM68wR . Cannabis reduces neural reward anticipation, CBD and age-group do not moderate effect.
