Summary

This is a double-blind, crossover trial that will recruit a cohort of non-treatment seeking Cannabis use disordered participants. Participants will then undergo either active, or sham rTMS to the LDLPFC, and cue-induced craving, and risky decision making will be assessed.

Conditions

  • Cannabis

Interventions

DEVICE

Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS)

rTMS will be delivered at 110% rMT to the Left DLPFC with 5 seconds on, 10 seconds off for 4000 pulses.

DEVICE

Sham Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation

rTMS will be delivered via an electronic sham coil that mimics real rTMS in appearance, sound, and feeling. Pulses will be delivered to the Left DLPFC with 5 seconds on, 10 seconds off for 4000 pulses.
