Summary
Emerging adults are a particularly vulnerable group for experiencing the immediate and
potentially lifelong negative impacts of habitual cannabis use, and trends suggest that
cannabis use disorder (CUD) will soon escalate in this population. The proposed research will
combine clinical pharmacology, non-invasive brain stimulation, and neuroimaging techniques to
establish the brain mechanisms of cannabinoid-impaired decision-making processes in emerging
adults with CUD. Results from this project will inform CUD prevention/treatment efforts in
this high-risk group and address a growing public health concern.
