Marijuana
Marijuana is the most commonly used drug of abuse in the United States, particularly amongst young people. Its use has become so common that several states have decriminalized, legalized, or begun legislation to do so. Despite this growing acceptance and the perception of marijuana as being completely safe, the potential for marijuana abuse and addiction is as real as for any other drug of abuse.
Signs of Marijuana Addiction
Marijuana addiction is just like that of any other substance of abuse. Marijuana addicts will typically begin using upon waking up in the morning and continuing use throughout the day.
Tolerance to the effects of marijuana also occurs in heavy users, meaning they will need to use more and more of the substance to feel any effect. Just like every other substance of abuse, marijuana addiction ultimately leads to powerlessness and unmanageability in chronic users.
The following is a list of symptoms and signs of marijuana addiction:
- Frequent/daily use
- Lack of motivation and/or ambition
- Difficulty concentrating
- Short-term and long-term memory issues
- Impaired decision making and risk-taking
- Respiratory issues
- Migraines
- Rebound anxiety
- Dependence
- Withdrawal
- Classic signs of addiction: financial problems, relationship problems, and spiritual problems
Marijuana is also available in many forms, including flowers, wax, dabs, and concentrates.
