Abstract
Tolerance to delta 9-tetrahydrocannabinol (delta 9-THC) was produced in rats by twice daily injections (15 mg/kg i.p.) for 6.5 days. Administration of the cannabinoid antagonist SR141716A (i.p. or i.c.v.) induced a profound precipitated withdrawal syndrome in delta 9-THC-tolerant animals. The syndrome was characterized by a disorganized pattern of constantly changing brief sequences of motor behavior. Autonomic signs were not evident. THC-tolerant animals that were treated with vehicle remained quiet throughout the observation period.Entities:
