AB  - Purpose– The purpose of this paper is to examine recent trends in presentation to treatment where cannabis is identified as the primary drug. Design/methodology/approach– Data is drawn from the recently published Public Health England report and supplemented with Home Office and European data. Findings– The data shows a marked increase in presentations for cannabis treatment over recent years. The authors offer some potential explanations for this trend. Research limitations/implications– The authors need to improve our understanding of the type of cannabis that is available and how specifically it is used. In parallel there is a pressing need for an evaluation of evidence in relation to treatment for problematic cannabis users. Originality/value– This paper highlights this recent trend in treatment presentations, offers some potential explanations and makes associated recommendations.
