“…It is very common for cannabis users to present with other substance use problems, most notably those related to use of tobacco. In fact, most cannabis users also smoke tobacco (Badiani 2015), and smoking tobacco may potentiate cannabis dependence (Hindocha 2015). …”

“…Population studies have identified other licit and illicit substance use as a prospective risk factor for the development of CUD (3, 19, 20, 25). For example, the use of tobacco has been reported to predict the use of cannabis (and vice versa), and that the odds of co-use of these substances are greatly increased in heavy users of either substance alone (52). …”

Purpose of review This review summarizes the literature to date that has capitalized on the longitudinal research study framework in order to elucidate the etiology of cannabis use disorders (CUDs). Recent findings The studies are mixed with respect to reliable predictors of CUD development. Of the studies outlined, the most consistently indicated risk factors for CUD development include: male sex, past cannabis and other substance use (especially tobacco), and the presence of pre/comorbid psychopathology (especially mood disorders). Social motives and peer involvement may also play a role in this transition. Many of these CUD risk factors appear to be distinct from other factors linked with overall cannabis use. Summary CUD development is likely the product of interactions between biological, psychological, social, and environmental factors. However, many more well-planned and developmentally sensitive prospective studies are needed to identify specific and reliable risk factors for CUD development.

“…Mothers who used other substances were more likely to be in one of the cannabis user groups and less likely to be in the non/unlikely to use group. Other investigators have shown that tobacco use is associated with cannabis use among adolescents and young adults (Badiani et al, 2015; Nelson et al, 2015; Passarotti et al, 2015) and a systematic review of the literature confirms the prevalence of co-use among male and female adolescents and young adults (Ramo et al, 2012). In our study, chronic tobacco use differed between “non/unlikely to use” and the other cannabis use trajectories, but the more problematic trajectory groups did not differ by tobacco use.…”

Background Becoming a mother is a developmental transition that has been linked to desistance from substance use. However, timing of motherhood may be a key determinant of cannabis use in women, based on preliminary evidence from teenage mothers. The goal of this study was to identify trajectories of maternal cannabis use, and to determine if maternal age was associated with different trajectories of use. Methods This prospective study examined 456 pregnant women recruited at a prenatal clinic, ranging in age from 13-42 years old. The women were interviewed about their cannabis use one year prior to pregnancy and during each trimester of pregnancy, and at 6, 10, 14, and 16 years postpartum. Results A growth mixture model of cannabis use reported at each time point clearly delineated 4 groups: non/unlikely to use, decreasing likelihood of use, late desistance, and increasing likelihood/chronic use (Lo-Mendell-Rubin adjusted LRT test statistic = 35.7, p < .001).The youngest mothers were least likely to be in the “non/unlikely to use” group. Younger maternal age also differentiated between late desistance and increasing likelihood/chronic use, versus decreasing likelihood of use post-partum. Conclusions This is the first study to demonstrate that younger mothers are more likely to use cannabis across 17 years, including later desistance post-partum and increasing/chronic use. Other substance use and chronic depressive symptoms were also associated with more frequent use. These findings have implications for both prevention and treatment of cannabis use in mothers.

Tobacco smoking and cannabis use in a longitudinal birth cohort: Evidence of reciprocal causal relationships

Abstract: Our results lend support to the notion of both of 'gateway' and 'reverse gateway' effects. That is, the association between tobacco and cannabis use arises from a reciprocal feedback loop involving simultaneous causation between tobacco use disorder and cannabis use disorder.
