Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

L. Riley Gournay's research investigates the effects of cannabidiol (CBD) on anxiety and sleep disturbances. Current studies examine CBD's impact on worry in individuals with high trait worry, utilizing double-blind, randomized placebo-controlled trial designs. Further investigations explore CBD's potential to reduce nicotine withdrawal severity and state anxiety during acute e-cigarette abstinence. Gournay's work also includes surveys on the use patterns and perceived effects of various cannabinoid products, such as hexahydrocannabinol. Practical considerations for testing CBD's effects on human anxiety are also a focus. This research contributes to understanding the pharmacological effects of cannabinoids and their potential therapeutic applications in managing anxiety and sleep-related issues.
