> Interestingly, the journal article doesn't bother to mention how cannabis use disorder (CUD) is defined; however, Bloomberg's description "frequent use despite negative consequences" is essentially that of the DSM, and so is presumably what they're using. Yes, it does: "CUD was identified in the same registers and supplemented with the somatic part of the National Patient Register, defined as ICD-8 code 304.5 and ICD-10 code F12.X." 304.5 is the diagnostic code for CUD. We can infer that a person with CUD themselves have considered their cannabis use to be problematic. Otherwise they wouldn't have been diagnosed.
