Evaluating Responses to Drug-Related Cues Versus Neutral Cues to Understand the Effects of Marijuana Craving - 1

The majority of past research on marijuana treatment has specifically targeted the alleviation of withdrawal symptoms. Minimal focus has been placed on how altering craving effects may play a role in treating marijuana addiction. The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of marijuana-related cues versus non marijuana-related cues in individuals both addicted and not addicted to marijuana. In turn, this may help establish a better understanding of the effects of marijuana cravings and may lead to improved treatments for marijuana dependence.
