Marijuana abuse disorder, classified within the spectrum of substance use disorders, arises when an individual's consumption of marijuana significantly impairs their ability to function in daily life. This condition manifests through a variety of symptoms, including an increased tolerance to the drug's effects, withdrawal symptoms in its absence, a persistent desire or unsuccessful efforts to cut down on or control use, and significant time spent in activities necessary to obtain, use, or recover from marijuana's effects. Additionally, individuals may continue using marijuana despite being aware of ongoing or recurrent physical or psychological problems exacerbated by its use. The diagnosis requires a careful assessment of these criteria, as it reflects a severe impact on an individual's social, occupational, and recreational life.
