In September 2018, the Constitutional Court (Case CCT 108/17) ruled on the legalisation of Marijuana in South Africa. The ruling made the following explicit: "No person shall use or have in his possession . . .

(b) any dangerous dependence-producing substance or any undesirable dependence producing substance, unless . . .

(vii), in the case of an adult, the substance is cannabis and he or she uses it or is in possession thereof in private for his or her personal consumption in private." with the following provisions: "...

(b) the use, including smoking, of cannabis in public or in the presence of children or in the presence of non-consenting adult persons is not permitted.

(c) the use or possession of cannabis in private other than by an adult for his or her personal consumption is not permitted.

(d) The cultivation of cannabis by an adult in a private place for his or her personal consumption in private is no longer a criminal offence."

1) According to the above , and referring to DSM 5 , Describe the clinical characteristics associated with Cannabis Use Disorder . DO NOT LIST ALL symptoms from the DSM5 , as anyone can just read the DSM5 , but describe some of it or important ones or even all and link it to studies ( empirical evidence and peer reviewed articles)

* IMPORTANCE IS LINKING THE SYMPTOMS TO ANSWER THE QUESTION ON CLINICAL CHARACTERISTICS but based on the evidence and articles

MUST INCLUDE IN TEXT REFERENCING AND REFERNCE LIST ( APA 7) -as I would need to locate these articles and try to read them and gain understanding of what is being said.
