Is cannabis becoming a problem for you?
Question 1 of 8 · past 6 months
What the score means
| Score | What it suggests | Sensible next step |
|---|---|---|
| 0–7 | Low risk on this screen | Keep tabs on how often you use; tolerance creeps up |
| 8–11 | Hazardous use | Cut frequency, plan breaks, never drive high |
| 12–32 | Possible cannabis use disorder | Talk to a doctor or a free helpline |
Why these eight questions
CUDIT-R asks about how often and how long you use, loss of control, missed obligations, time spent, memory problems, risky situations and wanting to cut down. Together they track the criteria doctors use for cannabis use disorder. A higher score means more of those signs are present, more often.
Cannabis use self-check: questions
Can this test tell me if I am addicted to cannabis?
No test on a website can diagnose you. CUDIT-R is a screening questionnaire: a score of 8 or more suggests hazardous use and 12 or more suggests a possible cannabis use disorder, which a doctor or counselor can assess properly.
Are my answers stored?
No. The score is calculated in your browser. Nothing you click is sent to Verdex or anyone else, and nothing is saved when you close the page.
What is cannabis use disorder?
It is the medical term for a pattern of cannabis use that causes problems — using more than intended, failing to cut down, cravings, or continuing despite harm to work, relationships or health. It ranges from mild to severe and is treatable.
What should I do if my score is high?
Talk to your doctor or call a free helpline such as SAMHSA in the US (1-800-662-4357) or FRANK in the UK (0300 123 6600). Planned breaks, using less often and never using before driving are practical first steps.
