Suppose you have a 32 year-old male client who reports using marijuana on a daily basis. He states that if he does not use marijuana, he finds it difficult to relax, and he becomes very irritable and aggressive. He describes daily use of marijuana as common among other members of his peer group. He is unable to keep a job as he is usually fired for being late or not showing up to work. He admits to breaking into cars in order to support his habit.

Would your assessment and diagnosis change if the client is White, living in rural Missouri? Latino, living in Houston? Black, living in Washington, DC? Asian, living in Santa Barbara? Explain why?
