Exclusion criteria:


8. Clinical diagnosis of substance abuse of the following drugs within the following timeframes (not including time spent in detoxification, hospitalization, or incarceration):

d. Subject' s historic marijuana use is deemed excessive by a physician investigator, or is interfering with the subject's daily function. If subject's marijuana use is not deemed excessive and does not interfere with daily function, subject must be instructed to discontinue any current use of recreational marijuana prior to entry into study and throughout the study period.

The way I interpret it is, a person will be excluded from the study if a physician investigator concludes that their usage is excessive and/or interferes with daily function.
If a person is an occasional user, they will have to stop prior to entering the study and abstain through out the study.

Basically, they will not accept Cheech and Chong but will accept the occasional toker providing they discontinue use.

Glad to hear you are not taking chances, R. Glass
