We want to get the facts out on that issue here, because talking about the whole story of cannabis – always from evidence and with documentation – is what we do and part of what gives us credibility in the pubic discussion of cannabis in general.
However, before diving into the problem and its treatment, we also feel it’s important to emphasize that cannabis use disorder (CUD) is seldom a problem in supervised medical use, and we know of no reason to expect to see much if any increase in its occurrence in Utah once a medical cannabis program as envisioned in the initiative proposal is operating.
