N2 - Background: As diverse cannabis use patterns among recreational users continue to evolve, little is known about how modes of use may contribute to long-term risk. The current study examined the association between types and number of modes of cannabis used over a 21-day ecological momentary assessment (EMA) period with hazardous cannabis use and consequences both concurrently and six months later. Methods: A sample of 155 young adult recreational cannabis users, aged 18–30 (M = 21.1), reported on cannabis use patterns over 21-days, and completed baseline and six-month assessments of hazardous cannabis use and cannabis consequences. Results: At baseline, more frequent bowl use was associated with hazardous cannabis use and cannabis consequences. More frequent use of hash-oil was associated with more consequences at six months, while a greater proportion of hash-oil use relative to total use was associated with increased risk for hazardous cannabis use at six months. Conclusion: While bowl use is characteristic of concurrent problematic use and consequences, only hash-oil predicted increased risk for hazardous use and consequences later. It may be that more frequent use of high-potency cannabis products, such as hash-oil, present unique risks for cannabis problems and consequences.
