Rehab News:Tobacco link findings have implications for cannabis dependence treatment

An article published in the June issue of Drug and Alcohol Dependence found that those who use tobacco with marijuana are more prone to cannabis dependence. The findings could have significant implications for the treatment of cannabis dependence.

The study surveyed 481 marijuana users, aged 17 to 35 in New York. Among many other topics, the group surveys measured cannabis dependence symptoms; frequencies of chasing, blunt smoking, joint/pipe smoking, using marijuana while alone, and general tobacco use; and demographic factors.

Blunt smoking and chasing marijuana with tobacco were each uniquely associated with five of the seven cannabis dependence symptoms. Across symptoms, predicted odds were 2.4 to 4.1 times greater for participants who smoked blunts on all 30 of the past 30 days than for participants who did not smoke blunts in the past 30 days.

The researchers concluded from the study that using tobacco with marijuana smoking blunts and chasing marijuana with tobacco contributes to cannabis dependence symptoms. Consequently, treatment for cannabis dependence may be more effective if it addresses the issue of concurrent tobacco use.

Smoking tobacco along with marijuana increases symptoms of cannabis dependence is published in the June 2008 issue of Drug and Alcohol Dependence.
