Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Prevalence of cannabis withdrawal
Time Frame: Up to 1 year
Descriptive statistics will be utilized to summarize cannabis withdrawal prevalence.
Up to 1 year
Severity of withdrawal symptoms
Time Frame: Daily for first 4 days of hospitalization
Assessed by the Cannabis Withdrawal Scale (CWS), a self-report instrument used measures the intensity of 19 cannabis withdrawal symptoms over the last 24 hours. Each item is rated on a 10-point Likert scale where 0=not al all and 10=extremely. Items are rated twice, first for intensity of symptom and then for negative impact on daily activity. Withdrawal symptom scores range from 0 to 190, with higher scores reflecting greater intensity of withdrawal symptoms.
Daily for first 4 days of hospitalization

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Mortality Rate
Time Frame: Up to 1 year
Assessed for all-cause, in-hospital, and post-hospitalization mortality rates by review of the electronic medical record.
Up to 1 year
