Reasons for Use
The reasons for use varied across substances, with a common theme of
anxiety and social influences (such as friends and family) emerging
among the top reasons for use across all four substances. Among
marijuana users, sleep disturbance was the most common reason for use,
while among CBD users, pain management was the most common reason for
use. E-cigarettes were primarily used for flavor experimentation and
curiosity, while reasons for cigarette use were stress relief and
enjoyment (Table 4). Specific to marijuana, 30% (n=20) of subjects used
it for medical reasons, 27% (n=18) for recreational, and 42% (n=28)
used it for both.
