    Honestly I’ve heard of psychs refusing to diagnose unless the patient goes clean because the symptoms can be similar but I honestly don’t know how accurate that is. The exact effects of cannabis can be a sensitive topic for some people so I’d rather just not judge them for living their life.

      As a former cannabis user you can judge me. I am clean now and yes it can cause issues and it for sure amplifies any issues you have. I had problems before I started using but didn’t want to deal with them so I started smoking instead. Now here I am way too many years later and trying to finally get real help. Even if you don’t want to quit forever its probably a good idea at least for the assessment and diagnostic phase. It’s good to know how you are without substances that interfere with your natural state whatever that may be. Just my thoughts.
