Description of event:

Cannabis is one of the most consumed psychoactive substances globally. Reasons for using it are diverse, and coping motives are common. Reporting coping motives has been associated with frequency of use, a strong predictor of cannabis-related harms. However, little is known on the impact of polysubstance use on cannabis use frequency, notably while accounting for cannabis motives.

The present study therefore aims at identifying factors associated with frequent cannabis use in a large European survey, with a special focus on cannabis motives and use of other substances.
