Experimental: Cohort 1

Other: CBD Oral Disintegrating Tablet (ODT)
Cohort 1: CBD ODTs to be administered with routine post-operative pain management regimen
|
Placebo Comparator: Cohort 2
|
Other: Placebo ODT
Cohort 2 will not receive CBD; but a visually indistinguishable placebo ODT instead.
The resident physician, physician assistant, anesthesiologist, surgeon and study team members will remain blinded. Additionally, all patients will receive a traditional upper extremity interscalene block as per routine.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Score on Pain Visual Analog Scale (VAS) [14 days]
Pain severity scores at rest will be assessed by use of a visual analog scale (VAS; 0 = no pain, 10 = worst pain imaginable)
- Nauseau on VAS scale [14 days]
Any nausea experienced by the patients will be recorded by use of a VAS (0 = no nausea, 10 = worst nausea imaginable)
Secondary Outcome Measures
- CBD consumption [Day 1, 7, 14]
patient self report
- Opioid consumption [Day 1, 7, 14]
patient self report
- Patient Satisfaction [Day 1, 7, 14]
Patients will record their satisfaction with their management, on a 0-10 scale, 24 hours, 2 days and 7 days, and 14 days after surgery.
