Cannabis and alcohol use patterns linked to couples' relationship quality

Summary

Nutrition label

78% Informative

A new study by the University of Colorado Boulder examined the effects of cannabis use within couples on a daily basis.

Heavy cannabis users tend to experience a drop in relationship satisfaction when combining cannabis with alcohol, while alcohol use alone appears to have a positive effect on next-day relationship satisfaction.

Light cannabis users did not show any significant changes in their relationship satisfaction based on their own or their partner’s cannabis and alcohol use.

The study suggests that the way partners interact with alcohol and cannabis isn’t just a personal experience; it has real, measurable effects on relationship quality.

The findings encourage couples to consider how specific substance use patterns may impact their daily interactions and overall relationship health.

As with any study, this research has limitations.
