Primary outcomes

  1. High VAS - Emax (mm)

    Time frame: High VAS was administered at pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12, and 24 hours post-dose.

    The High Visual Analog Scale (VAS) consisted of a horizontal line with a statement presented above the bar ("I am feeling high"). The ends of the line were marked with the descriptive anchors ("Definitely not" and "Definitely so"). Using a laptop computer, participants were instructed to click and drag the mouse to the appropriate position along the line, according to how they felt at that moment. Each scale was scored as an integer from 0 (Definitely not) to 100 (Definitely so), representing the position on the line.
