In this study, we examined predictors of traditional‐aged undergraduate students’ ( n = 115) lifetime cannabis use during COVID‐19. Participants who had lower scores of self‐regulation, higher levels of emotional dysregulation strategies, and a higher number of ACEs had more lifetime cannabis use. Additionally, participants’ methods of cannabis use changed during the pandemic as they primarily ingested more cannabis products (i.e., edibles) compared with before the pandemic began. Finally, the number of participants using cannabis in group settings during the pandemic was lower compared with before the pandemic began. Implications for counselors and counselor education programs are provided.
