question 4 of 7
which of the following is the sign that shows someone is at risk for cannabis use disorder?

• they have tried cannabis in the past.
• they have stopped using cannabis recently.
• they need less cannabis to get the same effect.
• they continue to use cannabis despite experiencing problems.

Explanation:

To determine the sign of risk for cannabis use disorder, we analyze each option:

• "They have tried cannabis in the past": Trying cannabis once or in the past doesn't necessarily indicate a disorder risk, as many try it without developing a disorder.
• "They have stopped using cannabis recently": Stopping use is not a risk sign; it may indicate they are addressing potential issues or decided not to continue.
• "They need less cannabis to get the same effect": Tolerance usually involves needing more, not less, to achieve the same effect. Needing less is not a typical risk sign for a use disorder.
• "They continue to use cannabis despite experiencing problems": Continuing use despite negative consequences (like health, social, or psychological problems) is a key sign of a substance use disorder, including cannabis use disorder, as it shows impaired control over use.

Answer:

They continue to use cannabis despite experiencing problems.
