Constraint theory (Hammersley, 2014) offers a novel way of understanding addiction as a lack of cognitive, behavioural, and social constraints on substance use.
Here, cannabis constraints were studied in a large online opportunity sample: N = 302; 205 men, 97 women.
Age ranged from 14 to 60 years (mean = 25, SD = 8.0).
Most participants were from UK or North America.
Participants completed a questionnaire assessing 15 cannabis constraints and standard self-report frequency measures of drug use.
Factor analysis of the constraint questionnaire found 15 factors, similar to those proposed theoretically.
These factors could discriminate well between past and current users and heavy and light users.
The best discriminator was concerns about the possibility of becoming addicted; the less concerned the heavier was use, although those who actually felt addicted were more concerned than others.
Past users also constrained due to using legal highs instead, concerns about illegality, and using only when others used.
Light users constrained due to availability and cost issues, as well as unpleasant effects.
These findings suggest that there is utility in constraint theory and that heavy use occurs due to a relative lack of constraints.
