What are some signs that my cannabis use might be a problem?

People use cannabis for many different reasons. Some people may find that their cannabis use is stopping them from enjoying day-to-day life. It’s important to remember that using cannabis is not risk-free.

Here are a few signs that cannabis use may be a problem:

  • You are unable to complete what is needed at work; you miss shifts or deadlines
  • You miss important social, work or recreational activities due to cannabis use
  • You are using cannabis more often and in larger amounts than you intended
  • You are not able to cut down or stop using cannabis

If you choose to use cannabis, following Canada’s Lower-Risk Cannabis Use Guidelines can reduce your risks.
