About

The goal of this study is to test cannabidiol (CBD) as a potentially effective candidate medication for youth alcohol use disorder (AUD). To accomplish this goal, this study will use a randomized, double-blind, within-subjects crossover design. In counterbalanced order, 50 youth (ages 16-22) will receive 600 mg of CBD or placebo three hours before a neuroimaging and behavioral assessment paradigm. The total amount of time the participant will be in the study is approximately one month.
