Abstract

In this work, we compare the impulsivity and risk-taking behavior of non-dependent cannabis-only users, non-dependent concurrent users of cannabis with illicit drugs, and controls. While there were no differences in risk-taking behavior among the 3 groups, concurrent users were found to be more impulsive. We conclude with some policy implications.
