✦ Synopsis

The effects of (--)Ag-trans-tetrahydrocannabinol (A~-THC) on rat interaction were studied using two different food competition situations. With one of the methods the drug increased "winning" behavior while with the other an opposite result was obtained. Mescaline increased "winning" behavior although it has been previously reported as able to inhibit "dominance" in rats. These data suggest that methodology is an important variable when the effects of drugs on rat interaction is being studied. The results obtained with A9-THC are tentatively explained in terms of a drug-induced distortion in perception.

Rats trained in conditioned avoidance responding (CAR) after injections of either 7.5 mg/kg zJP-THC (tetrahydroeannabinol) or 15 mg/kg 3S-THC, showed no transfer when tested in the non-drugged state. Furthermore, these doses of the isomeric tetrahydrocannabinols exerted a disruptive effect on previo
