Relatedly, the psychosocial problems that have been examined among individuals with co-occurring cannabis and tobacco use have been of a limited nature. Symptoms of depression and anxiety, and quantity of alcohol consumption (i.e., not diagnoses of depression, anxiety, and alcohol use disorders) have been studied, but psychosocial problems that could have significant public health ramifications, such as binge drinking, driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, and partner violence, have yet to be described among individuals with co-occurring cannabis and tobacco use disorders. Knowledge on a wider variety of psychosocial problems would attest to not only the treatment relevance, but the public health relevance, of co-occurring cannabis and tobacco use.
