MARIJUANA ADDICTION

Addiction Overview:

Marijuana addiction involves the compulsive use of cannabis, leading to a range of physical and psychological consequences. Despite perceptions of its recreational use, some individuals develop problematic patterns of marijuana consumption that impact their daily lives.

Behavioral Characteristics:

1. Escalating Tolerance: Over time, frequent marijuana use can lead to the development of tolerance, prompting individuals to increase the amount consumed to achieve the desired effects.
2. Compulsive Use: Individuals with marijuana addiction may find it challenging to control or cut down on their use, leading to regular and often escalating consumption.
3. Neglect of Responsibilities: Addiction can result in the neglect of work, academic, or social responsibilities as individuals prioritize marijuana use over real-world obligations.
4. Withdrawal Symptoms: Attempts to reduce or stop marijuana use may lead to irritability, anxiety, and sleep disturbances.
