Nuanced relations between simultaneous alcohol and cannabis use motives and negative consequences among college students: The role of multiple product use.

ABSTRACT: Simultaneous alcohol and marijuana (SAM) use is common, but it exacerbates negative consequences. Individuals use alcohol and cannabis products in different ways and have distinct reasons for use.
