Electroencephalographic and behavioral alterations produced by delta-1-tetrahydrocannabinol. 1971

C H Hockman, and R G Perrin, and H Kalant

The administration of small doses of Delta(l)-tetrahydrocannabinol to cats with indwelling electrodes produced a disruption of both the electroencephalogram and behavior. Some of these alterations, including the appearance of a high-voltage slow wave electroencephalogram in the awake and moving animal, have been observed in cats that had been administered other drugs known to cause hallucinogenic states in man.
