Utility of a brief measure of cannabis demand: Day-level associations with cannabis use.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cannabis demand (i.e., relative value) is usually assessed as a trait-level risk-factor for cannabis use and consequences. This study examined within-person variability in day-level intensity (i.e., amount consumed at zero cost) and O_max (i.e., maximum cannabis expenditure) and tested hypotheses that demand would be positively associated with day-level cannabis use.

Methods

Young adults (n=85) reporting past-month simultaneous alcohol and cannabis use completed two daily surveys for 30 days. Morning surveys assessed prior-day cannabis use and evening surveys assessed day-level demand (i.e., intensity, O_max). Multilevel models tested day-level effects of intensity and O_max on any cannabis use and flower use frequency and quantity (i
