3. English speakers.

4. Being healthy as determined by study physician according to screening medical and psychiatric history, physical examination, vitals, ECG and safety laboratory values. Only healthy volunteers with normal hepatic laboratory values will be enrolled.

5. Healthy volunteers who are medication- and drug-free, including free from nicotine and any prescribed medications.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Having present or past medical conditions, including a DSM-5 Axis I psychiatric disorder, history of cardiac disease, arrhythmias, neurological disease of central origin, head trauma, and seizures

2. Using any psychoactive drug (other than nicotine) in at least the past 7 days (determined by lack of acute-opioid or other drugs related withdrawal symptoms and the negative result of a urine drug screen including an opioid drug metabolite test, and alcohol breathalyzer to detect alcohol intoxication);

3. Positive urine drug screen (cocaine, opiates, benzodiazepines, barbiturates, amphetamines, morphine, methadone, methamphetamines, oxycodone, phencyclidine, tricyclic antidepressant, tetrahydrocannabinol, buprenorphine, methylenedioxymethamphetamine, propoxyphene);

4. Having a history of hypersensitivity to cannabinoids or any of the ingredients in the product (gelatin and/or sesame oil);

5. Being pregnant or breastfeeding;

6. Not using an appropriate method of contraception such as hormonal contraception (oral hormonal contraceptives, Depo-Provera, Nuva-Ring), intrauterine device (IUD), sterilization, or double barrier method (combination of any two barrier methods used simultaneously, i.e. condom, spermicide, diaphragm);

7. Participating in another pharmacotherapeutic trial in the past 3 months;

8. History of impaired renal function or elevated liver enzymes at prescreening. The exclusionary lab values are: 3x nl AST/ALT, 1.5x bilirubin or 50% reduction in eGFR.

9. Participants who have used any medication, dietary supplements (and/or grape fruit juice), or combination of medications and supplements known to alter the metabolism of, or interact with CBD (bupropion, rifampin, barbiturates, phenothiazines, cimetidine, etc.) 14 days prior to and during the duration of the study.
