我们调查了当前吸食大麻的大学生的大麻使用动机概况。然后我们评估了人口特征、使用的社会背景、监管环境、酒精使用、负面影响、负面后果和大麻使用的概况差异。参与者 (N = 1, 213) 来自大麻立法不同的州的三所大学。出现了六种情况：低动机、低至中度增强、高增强、高增强和社交+适度扩展、高增强和应对以及高动机。在使用的社会背景、性别、饮酒、负面影响和监管环境方面，情况有所不同。相对于低度或较少动机的个人资料，支持高动机和多重动机的个人资料具有更高的大麻使用率和负面后果。以高度回避动机（即应对）为特征的概况具有最高的大麻使用和后果。针对大麻使用动机类型和强度的干预措施可能有助于减少使用大麻的大学生的使用和相关后果。
We investigated profiles of cannabis use motives among current cannabis-consuming college students. Then we assessed profile differences in demographic characteristics, social contexts of use, regulatory environment, alcohol use, negative affect, negative consequences, and cannabis use. Participants (N = 1, 213) were from three universities in states with different cannabis legislation. Six profiles emerged: Low Motives, Low to Moderate Enhance, High Enhance, High Enhance & Social + Moderate Expand, High Enhance & Cope, and High Motives. Profiles differed in social contexts of use, sex, alcohol use, negative affect, and regulatory environment. Profiles endorsing high and multiple motives had higher cannabis use and negative consequences, relative to profiles with low or fewer motives. Profiles characterized by high avoidance motives (i.e., coping) had the highest cannabis use and consequences. Interventions targeting types and intensity of motives for cannabis-use may help reduce use and related consequences among college students who use cannabis.
