Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to explore sex differences in cognitive functioning and responses to marijuana-related items and to determine whether stress impacts these measures

Hypothesis 1 Attentional bias will be greater for marijuana cues in male marijuana-dependent subjects relative to female marijuana-dependent or non-dependent male controls

Hypothesis 2 Marijuana-dependent females will exhibit greater stress-induced changes in attentional bias and cognitive functioning than marijuana-dependent males
Detailed Description: Ample evidence implicates both environmental cues and negative affective states in maintaining drug use or triggering relapse However although craving is believed to drive continued drug use it is not well understood how cognitive processes influence craving and relapse nor how they may differ between the sexes Therefore the goal of this study protocol is to provide insight into sex differences in the cognitive aspects of drug craving and to assess the impact of stress on attentional bias for drug-related cues as well as on the availability of cognitive resources
