“…The highest percentage of DSM-5 Spectrum Psychotic Disorder (33%) and the lowest percentage of trauma & stressor-related disorder (1.8%) were discovered. This was somewhat similar to the study conducted by Sarkar et al, which discovered that 34% had substance dependence and 53% had psychotic illness [12]. According to a similar study conducted in Brazil in 2010, 22.5 percent of the population suffered from depression, 11% from generalised anxiety disorder, 8.8 percent from panic disorder, and 8.8 percent from schizophrenia, with the remaining 31 percent only having cannabis dependence.…”

This study was conducted in a tertiary hospital's psychiatry unit. Legal edible cannabis (bhang) users for more than a year who attended the OPD and IPD during the study period and met the inclusion criteria (age 18 to 60, no history of physical or psychiatric illness) were included in the investigation with their informed consent. 171 patients were recruited after being assured of the study's confidentiality. Special tests evaluated cannabis dependence and psychiatric conditions. (1) CUDIT-R and (2) DSM-5 updated psychiatric morbidity criteria. Population demographics. Patients with CUDs ranged in age from 18 to 60. The majority were age 21 to 30 (49.7%), followed by 31 to 40 (29.8%), 41 to 50 (12.9%), 20 (5.8%), and 51 to 60. (1.8 percent). Male (93.1%) and female patients were roughly evenly split (7.0 percent). 103 of 171 study patients were married (60.2%), compared to 66 unmarried patients (38.6%) who used bhang more often. 1,2% were divorced. The study considered patients' education levels. Middle schoolers had the highest percentage (22.2%), followed by illiterates and graduates (17.5%), high school (12.9%), and postgraduates (0.6 percent). Lower middle class (40.9%) had the most participants, and upper class had the fewest (2.3 percent).

“…Other studies found lifetime cannabis use to be associated with common mental health disorders (e.g., anxiety, depressive mood) (aOR: 2.83, p < 0.01, n = 234) [117] and correspondingly associated with panic disorder (PR: 3.31, p = 0.001, n = 1081) [118] among individuals attending health‐care units. However, no association between comorbid psychiatric disorders (e.g., anxiety and depression) and age at first cannabis use or quantity of cannabis used was confirmed among patients ( n = 80) seeking treatment for cannabis‐related problems at an outpatient university clinic [119].…”

Issues: Cannabis use and related health/social outcome indicator data for Brazil-where non-medical cannabis is generally illegal-are limited. Approach: Towards a comprehensive overview of relevant indicators, we searched primary databases by combining MeSH-index terms related to cannabis, geographic location and subtopic terms (e.g., use, health, mortality) focusing on cannabis use and key outcome indicators in Brazil since 2010. In addition, relevant 'grey literature' (e.g., survey reports) was identified. Key indicator data were mainly narratively summarised.
