More teens with cannabis use disorder are facing treatment delays, study finds

As federal officials debate the reclassification of marijuana, a study reveals that more teens with cannabis use disorder are experiencing extended wait times for treatment. This delay in care is concerning given the increasing prevalence of CUD among adolescents. With longer wait times, teens are at greater risk for worsening symptoms and potential long-term consequences. This issue underscores the need for timely access to mental health services, especially as marijuana's legal status remains a topic of national debate.
