What is cannabis use disorder?

Cannabis use disorder (CUD) happens when marijuana use begins to interfere with your mood, focus, or daily life. It’s more than heavy use—it’s when it starts holding you back.

If you’ve tried to cut back but can’t, or feel dependent to get through the day, you’re not alone. With the right support, things can get better.

7 signs of cannabis use disorder you shouldn’t ignore

Cannabis may seem harmless—but for some people, regular use can lead to mental fog, low motivation, or emotional dependence. Over time, this can interfere with your focus, mood, relationships, and overall quality of life. Recognizing the signs early can make a real difference.

Here are 7 signs your marijuana use might be becoming a problem—especially if they’ve been affecting you for weeks or months.

1You’ve tried to cut back—but can’t You make rules like “just weekends” or “only at night,” but keep falling back into old habits.

2You rely on it to cope You use cannabis to deal with stress, boredom, or sleep issues—and feel like you can’t manage without it.

3You feel foggy or unmotivated It’s harder to stay focused or productive. Things you used to care about feel harder to start or follow through.

4You’re building tolerance You need more than before to get the same effect. Without it, you may feel irritable or restless.

5It’s affecting daily life Cannabis use is getting in the way of work, school, relationships, or your long-term goals.

6You feel worse without it You feel anxious, down, or emotionally flat when you’re not using—and only feel “normal” when high.
