E-cigarette use is on the rise and many adult e-cigarette users also smoke combustible cigarettes. Past work suggests that dual use (i.e. use of both electronic and combustible cigarettes) is associated with greater rates of cannabis use, yet little is known about the nature of cannabis use among dual users. The current study examined 414 adult dual users (48.3% female = 35.1 years), half of whom endorsed current (past month) cannabis use. Results: Results indicated that cannabis users reported more severe pain, greater pain interference, and more hazardous drinking. In addition, cannabis use was robustly related to hazardous drinking after statistically controlling for demographic and pain-related variables. Cannabis use was also associated with hazardous drinking indirectly pain interference at greater levels of pain severity. Conclusions/Importance: These results highlight several clinical correlates of cannabis use among adult dual users, and also suggest that pain may play an important role in hazardous drinking among these individuals.
电子烟的使用正在增加，许多成年电子烟使用者也同时吸烟草香烟。过去的研究表明，双重使用（即同时使用电子烟和可燃香烟）与更高的大麻使用率相关，然而，关于双重使用者中大麻使用的性质知之甚少。本研究调查了 414 名成年双重使用者（48.3%为女性=35.1 岁），其中一半人目前（过去一个月）使用大麻。结果：结果表明，大麻使用者报告的疼痛更严重，疼痛干扰更大，以及更危险的饮酒行为。此外，在统计控制了人口统计学和与疼痛相关的变量后，大麻使用与危险饮酒之间存在很强的相关性。大麻使用与危险饮酒之间还存在间接关系，即在疼痛严重程度较高时，通过疼痛干扰来实现。结论/重要性：这些结果突出了成年双重使用者中大麻使用的几个临床相关性，并表明疼痛可能在这些人中的危险饮酒行为中起重要作用。
