Participants needed for study on Cannabis

Participants are needed for a Brain Sciences Institute (BSI) study investigating the relationship between cannabis use, cognitive functioning and levels of emotional intelligence.

The study has been approved by the University’s research ethics committee. Participants must be between the age of 18 and 35 and have no or pre-existing physical, psychiatric or neurological conditions. The study requires individuals with varying levels of cannabis use, as well as individuals who do not smoke cannabis.

Participation in the study will involve one laboratory session that will take 1.5 hours at the BSI in Hawthorn. For more information or to participate, contact ext 4444 or email [email protected].

there is no number. just extension.

Let me hazard a guess on the findings.... "prolonged use of cannabis results in reduced cognitive functionality and reduced levels of emotional intelligence".

Is there any payment for this 1.5 hours of my time (plus travel)? If not, there aren't likely to be too many volunteers.

how hazardous of you mr direktor.

man- you want money for being a subject in university study on the health effects of a psychoactive susbstance?

bonsai: you'd do it for free?

I would expect to be reimbursed for my time, which I consider very valuable

yep, why not?

I dont see the issue in donating 1 hour of my time for a worthy cause

if that was the case i'm sure you'd see every deadhead in melbourne waiting on the swinburne doorstep.

That's good man... I wouldn't (especially because it would be much more than an hour by the time I drive to Hawthorn and back). So why is there a problem with me asking if there's reimbursement available?

no real problem buddy.. just think its a bit ordinary that everything these days comes down to money money money.. a uni study is for education and research not for throwing dollars at people just because they consider their time 'valuable'. i can understand if you had to give something like sperm, or blood, or other samples... but you are merely sitting a test for research on something that is highly relevant to the user themselves, and their future health..

Just putting it out there

man - you're an absolute fucking cockhead mate. wake up and learn when it is time to try and be funny. just putting it out there.

i would suggest that requiring money to help someone out with their thesis is greedy and unwarranted.. no-one's time is more valuable than anothers

petey - this is true mate. but that money should then be put back into assisting the students & infrastructure, not handouts for some scummy peasant who is looking for a quick buck.

manofunreal · Post by **manofunreal** » Tue Jun 22, 2010 4:20 pm

Bonsai you know nothing about me... I'm not trying to be funny. You seriously should get off your high horse. I never said anyone's time was more valuable than anyone elses time. Your response is really a bit much. Get over yourself.

the reality is though that people who are most likely to do this are students soooo why not give the money straight to them

bonsai - again, stop being so aggressive and abusive to everyone who crosses your path. if you want to start an argument and call people absolute fucking cockheads or greedy little smartarse fuckers, do it in pm or not at all.

Again with the happy people in here.... The anger just slowly circles round this forum doesn't it.
I don't smoke I don't like it, don't like the feeling.
Came up with some bizaar idea to get stoned a few weeks ago so i didn't just get stonned I couldn't open my freaking eeys. I was stuck in a chair in my backyard next to my firebucket thingy head on knee's just telling myself to breath in and out. Eventually my loving boyfriend put me in bed (completely clothed I'm lucky I had no shoes on really) Came to around 3am.

Stupid weed....

I really wanna do one of these weird studies one day though just for kicks.

Apple is good, gives a nice flavour. Don't know if they are the weirdest but have also used a coke can and a carrot (not at the same time). Best bong ever was one my old flatmate in london made out of 2 pint milk bottles... well smooth. Bongs are foul but
