Marijuana Use and Female Sexual Arousal

The UBC Sexual Psychophysiology and Neuroendocrinology Laboratory in the Department of Psychology at the University of British Columbia is seeking medically health adult women for a study on the relationship between marijuana use and female sexual arousal.

The purpose of this research is to investigate the relationship between marijuana use and sexual arousal in women who have used marijuana either occasionally or frequently in the last six months, including within the week prior to study participation:

The results of this research have implications for the understanding of female sexual functioning, particularly with respect to the potential role of the endocannabinoid system (a complex system in the body comprised, in part, of cannabinoid receptors which cannabinoids such as marijuana act on) in female sexual functioning.

If you are a woman between the ages of 19-45 who:
• is in good health (no history of chronic medical illnesses and no indications of current acute infections);
• is not experiencing any sexual difficulties;
• has not taken any prescribed medications (other than oral contraceptives) in the last six months;
• has not taken any illicit substances other than cannabis in the last six months;

and are interested in hearing more about the study, please call the UBC Sexual Psychophysiology and Neuroendocrinology Laboratory at 604-822-2952.

All enquiries are confidential and a $20 honourarium will be provided.
