Marijuana use is pervasive among young adults, and potential marijuana-related impairment may increase as marijuana gains increasing legal status in the United States. However, little is known about the causes and consequences of marijuana use among college students. This study examined the relations between marijuana use frequency and marijuana-related impairment as moderated by religious strength of faith in college students at a Christian university. Results supported study hypotheses—religious strength of faith moderated the relation between marijuana use frequency and marijuana-related impairment, such that individuals with greater religious strength of faith experienced greater marijuana-related impairment. These findings help clarify the nature of the relations between strength of faith and marijuana use and impairment and may inform interventions for problematic marijuana use.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
