Abstract
Ecological momentary assessment was utilized in 34 moderate cannabis users to examine the temporal relationships between anxiety and cannabis and how sensitivity to uncertain threat (SUT) moderates these relationships. For those high in SUT, momentary state anxiety predicted increased likelihood of subsequent cannabis use, which, in turn, reduced state anxiety.
