Development and consequences of cannabis dependence
Alan J Budney et al. J Clin Pharmacol. 2002 Nov.
Abstract
The past 10 to 15 years of clinical and basic research have produced strong evidence demonstrating that cannabis can and does produce dependence. Clinical and epidemiological studies indicate that cannabis dependence is a relatively common phenomenon associated with significant psychosocial impairment. Basic research has identified a neurobiological system specific to the actions of cannabinoids. Human and nonhuman studies have demonstrated a valid withdrawal syndrome that is relatively common among heavy marijuana users. Last, clinical trials evaluating treatments for cannabis dependence suggest that this disorder, like other substance dependence disorders, is responsive to intervention, yet the majority of patients have difficulty achieving and maintaining abstinence. Of concern, treatment seeking for marijuana dependence has increased almost twofold over the past 10 years. This report briefly reviews selected research literature relevant to our current understanding of cannabis dependence, its associated consequences, and treatment efficacy.
