cannabis use leads to cannabis use disorder
In roughly 10-30% of users maybe
That’s a huge percentage.
Certainly not huge enough to leave out of the title. The vast majority, potentially 90%, of marijuana users are not at elevated risk of the mental illnesses listed.
For reference, this is a similar percentage of alcoholics among alcohol drinkers. What's true for someone who drinks a bottle of whiskey every day is not necessarily true of someone who drinks a glass of wine twice a month, and it's flatly incorrect to say that alcohol use in general carries the same risk as heavy alcohol use.

The easiest google search of my entire life
I don't want to be one of those "do your own research" idiots, but like just search "how many marijuana users have CUD" and click any link
Yeah, I was reading what defined CUD and I also was presented that study! 😁
cohort study of 6 651 765 individuals in Demark,... That is a large sample size, like country of Denmark size
