To date, no pharmacotherapy has been approved for cocaine use disorder. Endocannabinoid signaling is closely related to dopamine-dependent reinforcement and may regulate cocaine-related behaviors. In this study, we used common marmosets (Callithrix jacchus) to investigate whether 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG), an endogenous cannabinoid lipid, reduces cocaine reinforcement in a non-restraint oral…
