Cannabis use may predict opioid use in women undergoing addictions treatment, study says

(McMaster University) Researchers have found that women in methadone treatment who use cannabis are 82 per cent more likely to continue using opioids. This means that women who use cannabis are at high risk of failing methadone treatment. Tailoring treatment to the patient's sex can help to deliver more accurate, personalized treatment.
