Newest firstBackground Cannabis has shown mixed results in its association with alcohol urge, which may be explained by individual differences. One such factor, working memory capacity (WMC) is associated with drug-related cue reactivity and implicated in alcohol use and problems. In the current study, we examined whether WMC moderates the acute effect of cannabis on alcohol urge in a randomized placebo-controlled crossover t…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background Alcohol and cannabis are commonly used substances for young adults, and person-level co-use (i.e., concurrent or simultaneous use of both) is associated with increased likelihood of experiencing positive and negative alcohol-related consequences. However, findings regarding within-person effects (i.e.,day-level) co-use on consequences are mixed, possibly due to inconsistency in including alcohol quantit…
Background Postpartum depression (PPD) rates in the United States are among the highest globally, and PPD can pose significant, long-term risks to families. Concurrently, perinatal cannabis use is increasing in prevalence and may exacerbate PPD. Although evidence links cannabis use with PPD, little is known about its impact on immediate depressive symptoms or depression trajectories across the perinatal period. Mo…
Alcohol use is common in the U.S., with 10.9 % of adults meeting criteria for alcohol use disorder (AUD) in 2023. Co-use of alcohol and cannabis is also widespread and is associated with increased alcohol-related harms. Few studies have examined how different co-use patterns, such as simultaneous (same day use with overlapping effects) versus concurrent (same day use without overlapping effects) use affect alcohol…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background There is significant conflicting evidence as to how using cannabis while drinking alcohol (ie, simultaneous alcohol and cannabis use) impacts alcohol volume consumed, patterns of drinking, and alcohol-related consequences. The impact of simultaneous use on drinking outcomes may be influenced by several within-person (eg, contextual) and between-person (individual) factors. Objective This study was desig…
Purpose The purpose of this review is to discuss the literature regarding the concurrent use (co-use) of alcohol and cannabis and competing hypotheses as to whether cannabis acts as a substitute for (i.e., replacing the effects of alcohol, resulting in decreased use) or a complement to (i.e., used to enhance the effects of alcohol, resulting in increased use) alcohol. The impact of cannabis use on alcohol-related…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background To goal of this study was to better understand mechanisms underlying associations between Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) and marijuana use and problems. Specifically, it was hypothesized that negative urgency (NU), the tendency to act rashly while experiencing negative mood states, would uniquely (compared to other impulsivity traits: positive urgency, sensation seeking, premeditation, and perseverance…
