Description

This 19-item assessment helps the client identify areas in his or her life affected by marijuana use. Items represent the potential negative effects of marijuana on social relationships, self-esteem, motivation and productivity, work and finances, physical health, memory impairment, and legal problems. The items were chosen based on existing self-report drug abuse severity measures and on data from people who sought treatment for marijuana use. The client responds to each item by indicating whether he or she experienced a particular problem related to marijuana use in the past month (0=not a problem, 1=a minor problem, 2=a serious problem).
