About The Study: Cannabis use and risk of cannabis use disorder were common, and more than three-quarters of patients who reported any cannabis use reported doing so to manage a health-related symptom in this study. These findings suggest that integration of information regarding cannabis use for symptom management could help provide a crucial point-of-care opportunity for clinicians to understand their patients’ risk for cannabis use disorder.
