Merge to substance abuse PortlandOregon97217 (talk) 09:15, 16 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
A ~~merge~~ redirect to Effects of cannabis or Cannabis might be better, in providing more specific information about marijuana. --Colapeninsula (talk) 15:42, 16 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Edited - not convinced the content's worth merging, but redirect could be discussed. --Colapeninsula (talk) 12:21, 17 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The article seems biased, and the only one about "[substance] abuse". The introduction was a copy from Cannabis (drug), one section seems like original research, and the other seems like a partial copy of Cannabis dependence. So, I see nothing to merge. --KDesk (talk) 17:08, 16 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, nothing here worth merging. Rehash of material found elsewhere in the encyclopedia under better titles. External links are all spam - or at least POV websites, not Reliable Sources. --MelanieN (talk) 22:55, 17 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to another article since it is a term in common usage. Perhaps Cannabis dependence? Unless MelanieN has a better suggestion...Student7 (talk) 20:23, 20 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or Redirect. There's nothing here of sufficient value to keep -- and the general topic of "marijuana abuse" is covered better in articles such as Cannabis, Cannabis (drug), Legality of cannabis, Legality of cannabis by country, Effects of cannabis, Cannabis dependence, and Legal history of cannabis in the United States. I lean toward deletion because I think that the user should decide whether their main history is in recreational use of marijuana (sometimes termed "abuse" and covered mostly in Cannabis (drug)), effects of marijuana (see Effects of cannabis), illicit use of marijuana (see the various legality articles), or the DSM-IV disorder known as Cannabis dependence. --Orlady (talk) 21:21, 22 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Marijuana Abuse is a form of abuse where the afflicting agent is marijuana . Marijuana use is not Marijuana abuse - Also , dependance and abuse are two different things . Abuse by definition causes affliction , whereas dependance may not always be a source of affliction . MalcolmX86 (talk) 20:25, 23 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
