This study examines the relationship between co-administering cannabis with tobacco and the long-term frequency of cannabis use in a young adult population group with high rates of cannabis and tobacco use. METHODS The data are from an Australian prospective population-based study of young adults who recurrently used amphetamine-type stimulants (ATS). The mean age of participants was 20.8 years at baseline, sample size (n = 277), and 47% were female. We examined the frequency and quantity of cannabis consumption over 4 ½ years. Negative binomial regression analysis was conducted to examine the frequency of cannabis use at 12-month follow-up and at 4 ½ years, with co-administering practices as the predictor. RESULTS At every time interval, participants who always co-administered their cannabis with tobacco used cannabis on more days in the last month than those who only sometimes co-administered, rarely co-administered, or never co-administered these substances (p |
