Implication

Observational study examines how cannabis use problems affect the relationship between consequences and use, suggesting implications for treatment strategies.

These findings indicate that individuals with severe CU problems may not respond with behavioral change to consequences, while individuals with fewer CU problems reduce use following consequences. This may result from differences in perceptions of the aversiveness of consequences, which should be examined by future research.
