A new study is looking for participants who would be willing to exercise while high on cannabis.
The study is being conducted by researchers at University Colorado Boulder who are recruiting people who regularly “use cannabis concurrently with exercise” to see how weed impacts working out.
An advert on the college’s website specifies that they are looking for subjects that are male between 21 and 40 years old, and female within the ages of 21 and 40.
Those who take part in the study can earn up to $100, but they must live in the Boulder area of Colorado.
The study is looking to ascertain the “potential harms and benefits” of doing exercises such as running while high on cannabis.
The project, known as SPACE, states: “We want to understand how varying levels of cannabinoids like tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD) can impact factors associated with regular exercise, such as enjoyment, motivation, and pain.”
SPACE stands for “Study on Physical Activity and Cannabis Effects.”
Participants will have to meet with researchers three times in total. The first meeting will “include completion of a baseline survey as well as a brief run on a treadmill.”
For the second and third meetings a mobile lab that will come to pick you up and drive you to their facilities in Boulder.
The website for the study says “these meetings will both involve questionnaires and a 30-minute run on a treadmill. We will also draw your blood.”
Before these meetings participants are required to use cannabis.
