Life-course Accumulated Cannabis Use and Recent Cannabis-related Problems in the Washington Panel Survey.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Previous studies have only investigated the short-term association of recent cannabis use with cannabis-related problems, without accounting for the onset, duration, and variations in frequency of use in the life-course.

Methods

We obtained data from the Washington panel survey during 2014-2016. We constructed accumulated lifetime exposure to cannabis use, heavy drinking (5+ drinks on one occasion), and cigarette pack-years from age of onset based on a series of decades-based questions on cannabis use and heavy drinking, and tobacco use history.

We adjusted for accumulated heavy drinking and cigarette p
