Cannabis Use Disorder

๐Ÿฉบ Medicine First mentioned: Ep. 253

A controversial diagnostic category in the DSM-5 describing problematic cannabis use patterns. Debated within the cannabis community as potentially overblown or misapplied, but acknowledged as a safety question warranting proper research under descheduled conditions.

Chip argued that THC safety needs proper study under federal research funding: 'Is cannabis hyperemesis real? Is cannabis use disorder real? Let's figure that out โ€” build that safety profile around THC and then deschedule.' Referenced alongside 'scromitting' as anti-cannabis talking points.
