Abstract
In a double-blind study, the amplitude of the contingent negative variation (CNV) was assessed in 12 normal men given placebo and quantified "social" doses of 1-δ9-transtetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and alcohol (ethyl alcohol). Using subjects as their own controls, it was found that THC selectively enhanced the amplitude as compared to placebo while alcohol depressed it.Keywords
