simultaneous polysubstance use, trait affect, body composition, and their associations with acute adverse reactions to cannabis
abstract
in 2020, nearly 6.2 million people in canada aged 15 and older reported using cannabis in the
last three months (statistics canada, 2021). however, some individuals who consume cannabis
may be more prone than others to experiencing acute (i.e., short-term) adverse reactions to
cannabis (e.g., paranoia, anxiousness). the primary purpose of this study was to investigate the
relationship between simultaneous polysubstance use and trait affect on experienced acute
adverse reactions to cannabis. an exploratory aim was to examine the potential relationship
between body composition and acute adverse reactions to cannabis. the study was a web-based
survey, hosted by surveymonkey, using a cross-sectional design. 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜

and the general public across canada participated in this study (n = 456). pearson product-
moment correlations, independent samples t-tests, and hierarchical multiple regression analyses
were performed to examine the relationships between simultaneous polysubstance use, trait
affect, body composition, and acute adverse reactions to cannabis. simultaneous use of cannabis
and alcohol, trait negative affect, and lower body weight were positively associated with
experiencing acute adverse reactions to cannabis. the findings from this study have implications
for people that use cannabis, have high negative affect, prescribing health care providers, and
public health educators.
