A new study published in JAMA Psychiatry reveals a significant increase in Cannabis Use Disorder (CUD) among American adults between 2021 and 2024. The research, which analyzed data from over 180,000 individuals, found that CUD prevalence rose from 7.3% to 9.3% in men and from 4.5% to 5.6% in women, with the most pronounced increases seen in middle-aged and older adults. Factors contributing to this rise include the increasing potency of modern cannabis products, greater availability, and declining perceptions of harm, necessitating a public health response focused on education, prevention, and evidence-based treatment.
