Cannabis Use Disorders

Cannabis Use Disorder (CUD) is a condition where a person has difficulty controlling their cannabis use, leading to negative effects on their life. Symptoms can include cravings, tolerance (needing more cannabis to achieve the same effects), withdrawal symptoms when not using, and continued use despite problems in relationships, work, or health. CUD can affect anyone who uses cannabis frequently, regardless of their intention. It’s important to recognize it as a potential health issue that may require support, just like disorders related to alcohol or other substances. Treatment options, including counseling and support groups, are available.
