For Young Adults Who Use Both Alcohol and Cannabis, Alcohol Use May Trigger Cannabis Cravings Among Men but Not Women

Research Society on Alcoholism — Sat, 23 Nov 2024 10:00:00 EST

Among young adults who frequently use cannabis, drinking alcohol is linked to intensified cannabis cravings in men and reduced cannabis cravings in women, a novel study suggests. The findings potentially illuminate mechanisms driving the combined use of the two substances and could inform sex-specific approaches to preventing or addressing the resulting harms. Young adults commonly use alcohol and cannabis together (i.e., co-use), and people who use both substances experience more negative consequences--including worse outcomes for alcohol use disorder treatment--than those who use one or the other. Co-use may be partially driven "cross-substance-induced" craving, in which the repeated co-use of two substances prompts one to become a trigger for the other. Research on this effect involving alcohol and cannabis--previously limited to laboratory testing and remote monitoring--has hinted at sex differences in these effects. For the study in Alcohol: Clinical Experimental Research, investigato
