Cannabis diagnosis of patients receiving treatment for cocaine dependence.

In three separate samples using DSM-III-R criteria for substance dependence in 232 inpatients and 51 outpatients, we confirm the clinical suspicion that many cocaine dependents qualify for the diagnosis of cannabis dependence. As many as 53% of cocaine dependents diagnosed by DSM-III-R criteria have the concurrent diagnosis of cannabis dependence. The reports regarding cannabis dependence among cocaine dependents are few and inconclusive. The diagnosis of cannabis dependence in cocaine dependents has important consequences on etiology, prognosis, and treatment.
