Newly published data indicate that the prevalence of marijuana use disorders has been on the increase, based on comparisons that utilize the criteria for diagnosing the disorder in the previous version of the DSM . Other findings about this adversely affected population suggest that perhaps neither marijuana users nor the system of care that treats addictions are taking the problem seriously enough.
