The BAES (Martin et al. 1993) was used to assess sedation and stimulation, and was administered after cue exposure and after marijuana administration. The BAES has been used previously to assess the effects of marijuana and has demonstrated good reliability (Erblich and Earleywine 1995). Sedation and stimulation both increase significantly after marijuana use (Hart et al. 2001, 2002); increases in both states were considered positive reactions.
