Effects of edible marijuana studied in mice
Researchers have studied the effects of Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol or THC in food albeit in mice. THC is the main component that causes the psychological features seen with use of marijuana. Laboratory mice were given dough containing THC and the effects of the concoction were studied on them. This was an attempt to see similar effects in humans after consuming marijuana laced edibles.
According to researchers, this is the first study that looks at the voluntary consumption of marijuana laced food in animals to mimic the use of this drug in humans. The study results were reported in the journal Drug and Alcohol Dependence. The study was titled, “Self-administration of edible Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol and associated behavioural effects in mice.”
