N2  - The effects of 0.5 mg/kg and 1.0 mg/kg of delta 9-tetrahydrocannabinol (delta 9-THC) on key-pecking maintained by a response-initiated fixed interval (FI) schedule of food presentation and schedule-induced aggression in the pigeon were studied. Initially, following the administration of delta 9-THC both the rate of key-pecking and attack responding were markedly reduced. Over sessions, tolerance developed to the suppressant effect on key-pecking, with the rate returning to the predrug level. The suppressing effect of delta 9-THC on the rate of attack remained at or near zero throughout the series of delta 9-THC injections.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
