Association patterns of cannabis abuse and dependence with risk of problematic non-substance-related dysregulated and addictive behaviors.

Co-occurrence of drug misuse with other dysregulated behaviors is common. This study was aimed at exploring the associations between the risk of presenting a clinically relevant condition involving non-substance-related addictive or dysregulated behaviors (as measured by the MultiCAGE CAD-4 screenin...
