Is toke cheap? Correspondence between cannabis demand and purchase in the laboratory
High correspondence between Hypothetical and Actual Marijuana Purchase Task (MPT) performance in a laboratory setting suggests that hypothetical versions of the MPT may be broadly valid measures of cannabis demand. The robust relationship between anticipated consumption and actual cannabis quantity smoked in the laboratory suggests individual self-report accurately predicts subsequent self-administration, further supporting the construct validity of hypothetical MPTs.
