The association between physical pain and cannabis use in daily life: an experience sampling method

Cannabis is the third most widely used drug after alcohol and cigarettes (UNODC, 2017). In addition to being the recreational drug of choice for many, mounting research shows that cannabis is used for various medical purposes (Lin et al., 2016; Pacula et al., 2015; Schauer et al., 2016; Sznitman, 2017). Medically-motivated cannabis use has been shown to differ from recreational use in that the former is associated with more heavy use (Lin et al., 2016; Pacula et al., 2015; Richmond et al., 2015; Roy-Byrne et al., 2015; Sznitman, 2017).
