• Deadline: 10:00 AM EST – 25 May

Query: Looking for psychologists, psychiatrists & cannabis experts to answer the following:

1. According to a 2022 study, weed users don’t tend to be as productive in conflicts. Not only are they less aware of their unhealthy/problematic conflict management strategies, but they’re also less able to reorient themselves to discuss positive aspects of their relationship after a fight. Researchers also found that cannabis users issued more criticism and demands, and tended to avoid conflict. Paradoxically, when they were later asked how they thought the conflict went, cannabis users reported greater satisfaction with how it was resolved. Do you have any idea why using cannabis would have these effects? Do you think the amount of cannabis you use
   matters here?
2. What are some other ways (either positive or negative) that cannabis might affect your relationship? Please list and for each explain why cannabis might have this effect.
3. In general, do you think cannabis can help or hurt a relationship? Or does it depend (on the person/couple, the amount they use, their overall mental health, etc.)?
4. If you think your or your partner’s weed habits are negatively affecting your relationship, what should you do?
