Measure
300 mg Cannabidiol (CBD) Oil
300 mg Cannabidiol (CBD) oil: Participant will either be given a 300mg dosage of CBD oil. After consumption of the study drug, the participant will wait for 120 minutes to allow for digestion and for CBD to begin taking effect. Next, individuals will undergo a driving simulation and all participants will drive the same course. The simulator presents the individual with real life driving scenarios and is equipped with screens, a steering wheel, signals, and pedals. The participant will be instructed to drive the course for 25-35 minutes. They will be instructed to follow normal driving rules. The simulation will include highway, suburban, rural, and urban driving scenarios which will incorporate turns, changes in speed, and avoidance of cars/pedestrians.
Placebo
Placebo: Participant will either be given a placebo . After consumption of the study drug, the participant will wait for 120 minutes to allow for digestion and for CBD to begin taking effect. Next, individuals will undergo a driving simulation and all participants will drive the same course. The simulator presents the individual with real life driving scenarios and is equipped with screens, a steering wheel, signals, and pedals. The participant will be instructed to drive the course for 25-35 minutes. They will be instructed to follow normal driving rules.

Trail Making Test (TMT). Time to accurately complete Part A . The TMT measures executive function and consists of two parts; the first part requires participants to connect numbers in ascending order, while the second part requires individuals to connect numbers and letters in sequence. The test is scored by the time it takes to accurately complete each test. Increases in time correlate with greater impairment.

Simple Reaction Time test (SRT). Mean reaction time to stimuli that appears on a computer screen. Longer reaction times mean a decrease in reaction time. Min=0 max=infinity. Two separate sounds were emitted. Data were obtained for participants reaction to each separate sound

Outcome measures

Outcome measures
Measure
300 mg Cannabidiol (CBD) Oil
n=21 Participants
300 mg Cannabidiol (CBD) oil: Participant will either be given a 300mg dosage of CBD oil. After consumption of the study drug, the participant will wait for 120 minutes to allow for digestion and for CBD to begin taking effect. Next, individuals will undergo a driving simulation and all participants will drive the same course. The simulator presents the individual with real life driving scenarios and is equipped with screens, a steering wheel, signals, and pedals. The participant will be instructed to drive the course for 25-35 minutes. They will be instructed to follow normal driving rules. The simulation will include highway, suburban, rural, and urban driving scenarios which will incorporate turns, changes in speed, and avoidance of cars/pedestrians.
Placebo
n=19 Participants
Placebo: Participant will either be given a placebo . After consumption of the study drug, the participant will wait for 120 minutes to allow for digestion and for CBD to begin taking effect. Next, individuals will undergo a driving simulation and all participants will drive the same course. The simulator presents the individual with real life driving scenarios and is equipped with screens, a steering wheel, signals, and pedals. The participant will be instructed to drive the course for 25-35 minutes. They will be instructed to follow normal driving rules.
