Résumé :
ENGLISH:
Importance: Laws and attitudes toward marijuana in the United States are becoming more permissive but little is known about whether the prevalence rates of marijuana use and marijuana use disorders have changed in the 21st century.
Objective: To present nationally representative information on the past-year prevalence rates of marijuana use, marijuana use disorder, and marijuana use disorder among marijuana users in the US adult general population and whether this has changed between 2001-2002 and 2012-2013.
Design, Setting, and Participants: Face-to-face interviews conducted in surveys of 2 nationally representative samples of US adults: the National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions (data collected April 2001-April 2002; N = 43 093) and the National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions-III (data collected April 2012-June 2013; N = 36 309). Data were analyzed March through May 2015.
Main Outcomes and Measures: Past-year marijuana use and DSM-IV marijuana use disorder (abuse or dependence).
Results: The past-year prevalence of marijuana use was 4.1% (SE, 0.15) in 2001-2002 and 9.5% (SE, 0.27) in 2012-2013, a significant increase (P Conclusions and Relevance: The prevalence of marijuana use more than doubled between 2001-2002 and 2012-2013, and there was a large increase in marijuana use disorders during that time. While not all marijuana users experience problems, nearly 3 of 10 marijuana users manifested a marijuana use disorder in 2012-2013. Because the risk for marijuana use disorder did not increase among users, the increase in prevalence of marijuana use disorder is owing to an increase in prevalence of users in the US adult population. Given changing laws and attitudes toward marijuana, a balanced presentation of the likelihood of adverse consequences of marijuana use to policy makers, professionals, and the public is needed.
FRANÇAIS :
Alors que la politique à l'égard du cannabis se fait plus permissive aux Etats-Unis, une étude comparative s'est intéressée à la prévalence comparée de ses usages et des troubles associés entre 2001-2002 et 2012-2013. Elle met en évidence, en population générale, une prévalence de 4,1 % en 2001-2002 contre 9,5 % en 2012-2013 tandis que les troubles associés identifiés selon les critères du DSM IV étaient de 1,5 % en 2001-2002 contre 2,9 % en 2012-2013. A rebours de ces évolutions, les troubles associés parmi les usagers ont chuté significativement entre 2001-2002 (35.6%) et 2012-2013 (30.6%). Pour expliquer ce dernier résultat, les auteurs avancent un nombre peut-être plus important d'expérimentateurs occasionnels en 2012-2013 ou/et une accoutumance aux effets renforçateurs du Delta9-THC bien que sa puissance ait continué à augmenter entre 2001-2002 et 2012-2013.
