Credits: 1 CE Hours

A decrease in motivation is commonly described as consequence of cannabis use. However, no research to date has synthesized the literature between cannabis use and motivation with sensitivity to how motivation was measured or whether existing relationships can provide support to draw cause-effect conclusions. A review of existing research found differences in the operationalization and measurement of motivation, a lack of longitudinal research, and varying approaches to ruling out potential confounding effects of constructs such as depression. Future research is needed to establish a causal relationship between cannabis use and changes in motivation or reward sensitivity in humans.
