Cannabis dependence

Cannabis dependence, also known as cannabis use disorder, occurs when a person becomes reliant on marijuana despite negative effects on their life. Signs include needing more cannabis to achieve the same effects, experiencing withdrawal symptoms like irritability or anxiety when not using it, and continuing to use it despite problems in relationships, work, or health. While not everyone who uses cannabis becomes dependent, regular and heavy use increases the risk. Treatment often involves counseling and support to help individuals reduce their use and manage cravings effectively.
