Cannabis Use Problems Moderate Daily Associations Between Cannabis Consequences and Subsequent Use.
Article in Journal of studies on alcohol and drugs, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveSocial learning theory posits that experiencing negative consequences of substance use reduces subsequent use. However, relatively few studies have examined prospective effects of substance use consequences on subsequent use; those that have focus exclusively on alcohol and have produced mixed results. The current study aimed to advance our understanding of the daily effects of consequences on subsequent use by examining these associations for cannabis, determining if consequences accumulate over time and how long they continue to influence use, and identifying moderators (i.e., cannabis use problems; motives for use) of these associations.
methodWe used ecological momentary assessment data (two observations per day for 14 days) from 571 young adult females who regularly used cannabis. The sample included a majority of sexual minority women and gender diverse individuals (77.6%) and a comparison group of heterosexual cisgender women (22.4%).
resultsRecent cannabis consequences were associated with a decreased likelihood of subsequent use among individuals with fewer cannabis use problems. Coping motives also moderated associations between consequences and subsequent cannabis use, with consequences only associated with lighter next-day use when coping motives were not endorsed on the next day. Findings also suggest that consequences accumulate across days, and cumulative consequences over the past 5 days continue to influence cannabis use.
conclusionsThese findings indicate that individuals with severe cannabis use problems may not respond with behavioral change to consequences, whereas individuals with fewer cannabis use problems reduce use following consequences. This may result from differences in perceptions of the aversiveness of consequences, which should be examined by future research.
