Summary
This is a research study to find out if a hormone called progesterone affects marijuana
users' stress response and marijuana use. Progesterone is a naturally occurring sex hormone
involved in the menstrual cycle and reproduction, and has been shown to reduce withdrawal
symptoms when people stop using substances like cocaine and nicotine. It is not FDA approved
for treating cannabis users and is considered an investigational drug in this study.
