Study reveals how price drives pot and cigarette habits in young adults
NCT ID NCT07398443
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how young adults (ages 18-25) who smoke both marijuana and tobacco decide to use each substance when prices change. Researchers will measure cravings after showing pictures of marijuana or tobacco. The goal is to understand patterns of dual use, not to test a treatment. About 120 participants who buy their own tobacco and marijuana will take part.
