Abstract
Abstract Cannabis use disorder is defined as a pattern of use that includes at least two signs or symptoms of problematic use. Cannabis is the second most commonly used psychoactive substance by adolescents. Cannabis use is associated with significant impairments in multiple cognitive domains, although even one week of abstinence can result in improved cognitive functioning. Cannabis use, particularly of products containing high concentrations of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), increases the likelihood of developing schizophrenia. N-acetylcysteine (NAC) may be helpful for decreasing cravings and the risk of relapse. The most effective therapy modalities for cannabis use disorder are motivational enhancement therapy, contingency management, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and family-based therapy.
