Abstract
Perceived distress tolerance had an indirect effect on cannabis use cravings, perceived barriers to cannabis cessation, and withdrawal symptoms through cannabis coping motives after controlling for several relevant covariates. These findings suggest that perceived distress tolerance through coping motives may contribute to more maladaptive cannabis use and impede cannabis cessation.
