A subset of heavy marijuana users have trouble quitting marijuana use and the number of those
seeking treatment for problems related to marijuana is increasing. The purpose of this
research study is to investigate whether dronabinol can reduce withdrawal effects associated
with stopping marijuana use, if dronabinol can reduce the rewarding effects of smoked
marijuana, and whether there are any cognitive performance deficits associated with
dronabinol doses that produce such effects.
