Abstract
The current study examined links between marijuana use, marijuana expectancies, and hypersexuality among 137 undergraduates. Past three-month marijuana use and hypersexuality were correlated with perceptual and cognitive enhancement, social and sexual facilitation, craving and physical effect expectancies. After adjusting for gender, perceptual and cognitive enhancement expectancies predicted hypersexuality among undergraduates.
