The kind of old numbers that used to get tossed around were like nine to 11% of people that would start initiating cannabis use would probably transition to develop use disorder. The more modern numbers, I would say, you know, if we're looking at people who are already using weekly, we're talking probably closer to 30%.

Like, so it's a much higher, I mean, when you're using that frequently, then the rates of people who would qualify as having cannabis use disorder probably go higher.

Yeah, I'd say in that neighborhood, they would probably qualify as meeting criteria for a cannabis use disorder. Because weekly doesn't seem like that often. No, I mean, it depends, again, on how you vary this.

I've had a lot of conversations with the public, and I think depending on someone's experience in their own or in their own inner circles, life with cannabis, the way they would view it is very differently. Because I think a lot of people...

You know, again, regardless of anyone's opinion of alcohol, if someone told you they had a glass of wine with dinner every night, I don't think people would say you have an alcohol use disorder. I think that's not uncommon. I don't think they would.

Similarly, if someone had a brandy at the end of the night or like, you know, a nightcap to go to bed and they did that on a nightly basis, I don't think anyone would say that they have a use disorder. And I think with cannabis, there are a lot of people that kind of fall into that bracket that would use it, you know, even daily, but relatively infrequently and kind of as an end-of-the-day thing.

I think some of them certainly would fall under the criteria of cannabis use disorder because if you start looking and say, well, you know, if you travel to like – Egypt. Are you going to go put yourself at risk of going to jail to get access to cannabis because you can't function without it? If you do, then yeah, you've got cannabis use disorder. Are you going to burn relationships?
