About this trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine how two different doses of cannabidiol (CBD), given as a hemp product, change the blood concentrations of the drug clopidogrel in the body. Results will be used to help design future studies and to assist healthcare providers in informing their patients about the safe use of CBD.
