Cannabis Addiction & Use Disorder Explained | Symptoms, Causes, and Treatment In this episode of Cracking Addiction, we take an in-depth look at Cannabis Use Disorder (CUD), exploring its symptoms, diagnostic criteria, and the broader context of cannabis use in society. We begin by outlining the signs and symptoms of both cannabis intoxication and cannabis use disorder, helping viewers understand the clinical presentation of these conditions. The episode also delves into the different forms and preparations of cannabis—such as herbal cannabis, hashish, and concentrates—and examines the varying levels of THC found in each, along with how these differences impact potency and risk. Beyond the pharmacological aspects, we explore the short- and long-term harms associated with cannabis use, including mental health effects, cognitive impairment, and dependence. We also compare the risks of cannabis with those of tobacco and alcohol, offering a nuanced discussion on relative harm and public health implications. Additionally, we examine key risk factors that contribute to the development of cannabis use disorder, including genetic, psychological, and environmental influences. Social determinants of health—such as socioeconomic status, access to care, and community support—are also discussed in the context of substance use vulnerability. Finally, we explain how clinicians identify cannabis use disorder using major diagnostic systems, including the DSM-5 (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) and ICD-11 (International Classification of Diseases). Whether you're a healthcare professional, student, or someone interested in addiction science, this episode provides a comprehensive overview of cannabis use disorder, grounded in the latest research and clinical guidelines.
