Summary
This study is investigating how N-Acetylcysteine (NAC), an over-the-counter medication, will
reduce marijuana use when combined with Contingency Management, a behavioral treatment. It is
hypothesized that marijuana dependent adolescents who are treated with NAC will use less
marijuana during treatment when compared to adolescents who receive a placebo.
