Cover Story: Young adults who co-use alcohol and cannabis may be at increased risk for socio-emotional difficulties that could lead to interpersonal problems and consistent substance use. Thus, we examined whether young adults with this pattern of polysubstance use have greater difficulties with emotion recognition or self-reported emotion processing via two behavioral tasks and two survey measures. We found that alcohol and cannabis co-using young adults report both greater alexithymia and socio-emotional difficulties relative to healthy controls, despite no differences in emotion recognition accuracy between the groups. These findings suggest that frequent alcohol and cannabis co-use during young adulthood may be related to altered emotion processing and suggests a need for further research on socio-emotional functioning in this population.
