The disruption of marijuana intoxication.

R O Pihl, P Spiers, D Shea

    Psychopharmacology
    |May 9, 1977
    PubMed
    Summary

    Marijuana intoxication effects can be altered by environmental factors like noise. Even with suppressed self-reports, marijuana use in noisy settings led to higher pulse rates, impacting typical intoxication measures.

    Area of Science:

    • Psychopharmacology
    • Human Experimental Psychology

    Background:

    • Understanding marijuana's effects requires controlling for environmental variables.
    • Previous research indicates a correlation between subjective and physiological measures of intoxication.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the impact of auditory environment on marijuana intoxication.
    • To examine how noise affects subjective and physiological responses to marijuana.

    Main Methods:

    • Ninety-six male participants were assigned to coltsfoot, placebo, low-dose marijuana, or high-dose marijuana conditions.
    • Participants experienced either relaxing music or music with superimposed aversive noise during marijuana consumption.

    Main Results:

    • Aversive noise significantly suppressed self-reported marijuana intoxication, particularly at low doses.
    • The positive correlation between subjective intoxication and pulse rate was disrupted by noise.
    • Despite suppressed subjective reports, the noise group exhibited significantly higher pulse rates.

    Conclusions:

    • Environmental factors, such as noise, can modulate marijuana's subjective and physiological effects.
    • Dosage and environmental context are critical considerations in marijuana intoxication research.
    • Noise may interfere with the accurate assessment of marijuana intoxication through self-report.
