  1. Units for S100β, ng/l. *p < 0.05 vs. saline control. +p < 0.05 vs. corresponding tramadol-only treated group. #p < 0.05 vs. cannabis (20 mg/kg)-only treated group. Multiple group comparison was done using one-way ANOVA and post hoc Duncan’s multiple range test. A probability value of less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant
