Young Adult Cannabis Users Report Greater Propensity for Risk-Taking Only in Non-Monetary Domains

摘要

BACKGROUNDThough substance use is often associated with elevated risk-taking in real-world scenarios, many risk-taking tasks in experimental psychology using financial gambles fail to find significant differences between individuals with substance use disorders and healthy controls. We assessed whether participants using marijuana would show a greater propensity for risk-taking in distinct domains including, but not limited to, financial risk-taking.
