Cannabis Use Disorder

Cannabis Use Disorder (CUD) is a condition where an individual has difficulty controlling their use of cannabis, leading to negative effects on their daily life. People with CUD may find themselves spending excessive time using cannabis, craving it, or continuing to use it despite problems at work, school, or in relationships. They may also experience withdrawal symptoms when not using it. Though cannabis is often perceived as a harmless substance, CUD can impact mental health and overall well-being, similar to other substance use disorders. Treatment often focuses on behavioral therapy and support to help individuals regain control.
