Summary
Marijuana use is a major problem among veterans and non-veterans. A patient's use of
marijuana while engaged in psychotherapy treatment may affect their memory and, therefore,
limit their ability to benefit from treatment. This study is designed to test a new
pharmacotherapy, modafinil, which has the potential to improve memory functioning in
marijuana using individuals.
We hypothesize that modafinil treatment will decrease ratings of drug liking and improve
cognitive measures, especially episodic memory.
