Abstract

Contextual factors related to cannabis use are of interest given rising cannabis use rates. This study investigated the affective and social context of cannabis use via ecological momentary assessment. Positive affect was elevated at cannabis use times, and social context moderated the relationship between negative affect and cannabis use.
