Understanding Cannabis Use Disorder
Cannabis use disorder refers to the problematic use of cannabis, resulting in significant impairment or distress. This condition is characterized by a persistent desire or unsuccessful efforts to control cannabis use, despite the negative consequences it may incur.
Common symptoms and signs of cannabis use disorder include:
Inability to Control Use: Unsuccessful attempts to reduce or stop cannabis consumption.
Tolerance: Needing increasing amounts of cannabis to achieve the desired effects or experiencing diminished effects with continued use of the same amount.
Withdrawal Symptoms: Experiencing physical or psychological symptoms such as irritability, anxiety, and sleep disturbances upon cessation or reduction of use.
Neglect of Responsibilities and Activities: Failing to fulfill obligations at work, school, or home due to cannabis use.
Continued Use Despite Problems: Persisting in cannabis use despite awareness of the physical or psychological issues caused or exacerbated by the substance.
The dual presence of these symptoms highlights the necessity of seeking professional help to manage and overcome cannabis use disorder, as it can lead to deteriorated mental health and hinder personal growth and success.
