Title
The Role of Cannabis Use Quantity in Predicting Cannabis-Related Problems
Synopsis
This study introduces a new measure of cannabis quantity and examines whether it predicts cannabis-related social problems with and without controlling for frequency of use. Our results suggest that cannabis use quantity, above and beyond frequency, is an important predictor of cannabis problems in youth and adults. We discuss the potential usefulness and validity of this new measure in harm reduction.
