Summary

According to a recent consumer poll, over 20 million Americans regularly use cannabidiol (CBD). Moreover, 64 million Americans (over 25% of the population) report trying CBD at least once within the previous 2 years. Since the passing of the 2018 Agriculture Improvement Act, the use of hemp-derived products, such as CBD, is highly prevalent across North America. The acceleration of the use of CBD has outpaced our understanding of the associated potential risks and benefits, and the way it is processed within the body. In the current proposed project, investigators wish to continue our ongoing collaboration with Caliper Foods, a Colorado-based manufacturer of CBD products. The focus of this project is three-fold: (1) investigators will compare the pharmacokinetics of different formulations of ingestible CBD; (2) investigators will examine the potential two-way interaction between a meal and one formulation of ingestible CBD; and, (3) investigators will examine the influence of different formulations of CBD on markers of liver function.
