All editions of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders are copyrighted. Do not post a copy of the official DSM diagnostic criteria in any Wikipedia article. Simply reproducing the entire list in the DSM is not fair use and is a violation of the Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria legal policy. Instead, describe the criteria in your own words. See Wikipedia:Copyright violations#Parts of article violate copyright for instructions if the criteria have been copied into the article. Editors may quote a small part of the DSM criteria for a given condition, especially if that quotation is used to discuss the DSM's choice of terminology in that quotation.

These are a few links that I hope to add later to the article so that it can be more reliable

This article kinda sucks

Not really because of the content though. More so how it’s worded. Not sure how to explain it other than it reads like a 10th grader trying to sound like an academic 24.51.241.147 (talk) 08:38, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Contradictory Information in Article

Either Cannabis Use Disorder is cannabis addiction, or it's defined by continued cannabis use despite clinically-significant impairment. Which is it? Not everyone who is addicted has clinically-significant impairment, and not everyone who continues daily use despite clinically-significant impairment is addicted (although the latter is probably rare and harder to qualify). If there's two different definitions, then the article should not use them interchangeably. For example, the 6% figure referenced in the NY Times article is in reference to addiction, not continued use despite clinically-significant impairment. The article misrepresenting 6% of the population as continuing use despite impairment is extremely misleading, irresponsibly so, even. Uchiha Itachi 25 (talk) 20:39, 14 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia articles are written based on what Reliable Sources say: WP:RS, and we don't allow Original Research WP:NOR. So if you can find MEDICAL sources WP:MEDRS making the distinction that you make than we can clarify that and resolve what you think is a discrepancy in proper term application/usage. ---Avatar317^(talk) 00:30, 15 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
