大量、频繁的大麻使用与大麻相关的问题密切相关。随着全世界大麻政策的变化，确定与大麻有关的问题的风险因素至关重要。虽然研究人员一直将使用频率和数量作为重要风险进行研究，但临床知识表明，使用时间也可能导致问题。与酒精依赖者早上饮酒类似，早上吸食大麻可能表明依赖和增加与大麻相关的损害。早间使用也有可能直接进行干预。本研究试图审查早晨使用大麻与自我报告的大麻相关问题之间的关系。这项研究使用简短的大麻相关问题问卷，比较了每天早上吸食大麻的人(n=257)和中午之前没有使用大麻的每日吸食者(n=76)。早间使用者报告的问题明显多于非早间使用者，并且早间使用在问题中占显著的独特差异。探索性的调解分析并不支持早晨使用会通过戒断而导致问题的观点。本研究提供的证据表明，大麻的使用时机是审查与大麻有关的问题的一个重要因素。
Heavy, frequent cannabis use covaries with cannabis-associated problems. With cannabis policy changing worldwide, identifying risk factors for cannabis-associated problems is crucial. While researchers have consistently studied frequency and quantity of use as important risks, clinical lore suggests that the timing of use might also contribute to problems. Similar to morning use of alcohol among alcohol-dependent individuals, morning use of marijuana may indicate dependence and increased cannabis-related impairment. Morning use also has the potential to lend itself to straightforward intervention. The present study sought to examine the relation between morning cannabis use and self-reported cannabis-associated problems. The study compared daily marijuana users who reported morning use (n=257) to daily marijuana users who reported no use before noon (n=76) using the brief Cannabis-Associated Problems Questionnaire. Morning users reported significantly more problems than non-morning users, and morning use accounted for significant unique variance in problems. Exploratory mediational analyses did not support the idea that morning use led to problems via withdrawal. The present study provides evidence that timing of cannabis use is an important factor in examining the cannabis-associated problems.
