of the cannabis use disorder continuum, results also consistent with prior research (Langenbucher et al., 2004; Martin et al., 2006). In contrast, this study that found both quit/control and hazardous use criteria among the least severe criteria, while previous IRT analyses (Langenbucher et al., 2004; Martin et al., 2006) found these criteria to be among the most severe. Taken together, these results suggest that the ordering of cannabis use disorder criteria in terms of severity observed in this study may not be generalizable to adolescent samples or samples of individuals in treatment for cannabis use disorders; whereas, more consistency was found with the other general population sample.
