The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM–5) has revised the terms of cannabis use disorder defined by nine pathological patterns classified under impaired control, social impairment, risky behavior, or physiological adaptation. It is an outdated medical definition formerly used in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV-TR), which divided substance use from substance dependence. Expanding the use and legislation for the legalization of marijuana are propagated by potential health benefits and the absence of health concerns that are not well substantiated.Ĭannabis abuse is a term describing the continued use of cannabis despite impairment in psychological, physical, or social functioning. State legalization of marijuana has increased cultivation demand, selective breeding for more potent strains, and competition in the marijuana dispensary industry.
Nevertheless, cannabis use has increased with the state-directed legislature turning the tide against federal regulation.
The most common users are teenagers and adolescents, and usage tends to decline as these groups age into adulthood due to careers, marriage, cohabitation, and parenthood. Despite federal regulations in the latter half of the 20th century, marijuana is still one the most commonly used drug in the United States. Benzodiazepines are Schedule IV substances, meaning they have a low potential for abuse and dependence. Commonly prescribed drugs like opiates and stimulants are Schedule II drugs, meaning they have a high risk of abuse but are medically useful. Most authorities disagree with this designation. (Other examples of Schedule I drugs include heroin and peyote.) It has no accepted medical purpose at the federal level and has a high potential for abuse. Cannabis is considered by the Food and Drug Administration as a Schedule I drug.
