Studying the Effects of Cannabis on Vasculature (NCT05581368)
Elucidating the Effects of Cannabis on Cardiovascular System
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
Cannabis is commonly used globally. It is associated with psychiatric problems, but the effects on the cardiovascular system are unclear. In this project, the investigators plan to study the effects of cannabis on the cardiovascular system. This will be done by using a non-invasive test to measure blood vessel function and by using blood samples to measure inflammation. As a control for this project, the investigators would like to test the blood vessel function and inflammation levels of participants who do not use cannabis. This study will provide important information on the long term cardiovascular effects of cannabis.
