Do motives for and contexts of cannabis use interact to predict heavy cannabis use at the event-level?

The authors aimed to investigate how the interaction between motives for cannabis use and the contexts in which it occurs influences heavy cannabis use at the event level among young adult females, particularly focusing on sexual minority women and gender diverse individuals. Their findings revealed that coping motives were linked to increased intoxication only in solitary settings, while social and enhancement motives showed additive effects with social contexts. This suggests that examining motives and contexts in isolation may overlook important dynamics in cannabis use behavior.
