    Roughly 1 out of 10 people who use cannabis will develop a cannabis addiction. This number rises to up to 1 out of 2 people among individuals who use cannabis daily or near-daily. While males have higher rates of cannabis addiction, females typically progress more quickly to cannabis addiction than males. A number of factors can increase the likelihood of developing a Cannabis Use Disorder or addiction including: trauma, a personal or family history of alcohol or drug problems, lower income level, genetic factors, being male, persistent anti-social behaviours, persistent cigarette smoking, and positive response to cannabis at first use.
