Summary
In this episode of ASAM Practice Pearls, Drs. Stephen Taylor and Takeo Toyoshima address the misconception that cannabis is not addictive. They discuss how clinicians can better understand the cannabis products their patients are using, navigate the changing legal landscape, and assess for cannabis use disorder using the “Three Cs” framework. The conversation highlights treatment strategies like motivational interviewing and harm reduction, managing cannabis withdrawal, the risk of psychosis from high-potency products, and emerging pharmacotherapy options. Throughout the episode, they offer practical strategies for keeping patients engaged in care.
