Support for cannabis use disorder Forum topic
I have a 55 year old male patient who has been smoking cannabis, roughly 2 grams per day, for essentially the past 40 years. He is now pretty motivated to stop for health reasons, mostly being more short of breath, and is wondering if there are any medical treatments to help him wean off. My understanding is that there isn't, but maybe some things have been tried off label? He has a fairly complex health history including probable bipolar disorder, active but less frequent (about weekly) crack use, diabetes, htn, asthma and chronic pain.
