Participant Flow

Of the 13 subjects enrolled, 8 were randomized to one of six sequences counterbalancing the three treatment arms. Subjects were randomized at intake for Treatment Visit 1. Of the 5 subjects enrolled but not randomized, 3 did not meet study criteria at the screening visit, 1 had scheduling conflicts, and 1 failed to show for Treatment Visit 1. There was a minimum 7-day washout between the Screening Visit and intake for Treatment Visit 1. All randomized subjects completed all treatment arms.

Summary of all subjects randomized. All randomized subjects completed all study arms across three treatment visits. "Sober" or Double Placebo: Subject received alprazolam capsule containing placebo (lactose) and 40 minutes later received placebo cannabis (0% THC / 0% CBD). Active Alprazolam (Xanax), Placebo Cannabis: Subject received active 0.75 mg alprazolam capsule and 40 minutes later received placebo cannabis (0% THC / 0% CBD). Placebo Alprazolam (Xanax), Active Cannabis: Subject received alprazolam capsule containing placebo (lactose) and 40 minutes later received active cannabis (6.18% THC / \<0.025% CBD). Placebo (Lactose) Capsule: Single dose on two of the three visits, orally administered 40 minutes prior to cannabis dose. 0.75 mg Alprazolam Capsule: Single dose on one of the three visits, orally administered 40 minutes prior to cannabis dose. Cannabis (0%/ THC / 0% CBD): Cannabis vapor was produced from 500 mg of dried plant material (0% THC / 0% CBD). Subjects inhaled using the Foltin Puff Procedure over 10 minutes. Single inflated bag/dose consumed via inhalation 40 minutes after alprazolam dose at two of the three visits. Cannabis (6.18% THC / \<0.025% CBD): Cannabis vapor was produced from 500 mg of dried plant material (6.18% THC / \<0.025% CBD). Subjects inhaled using the Foltin Puff Procedure over 10 minutes. Single inflated bag/dose consumed via inhalation 40 minutes after alprazolam dose on one of the three visits.
