Marijuana is not as tough as other drugs…this how others believed it, that’s why they resulted in marijuana addiction. This is a misperception that needs to be corrected…if it’s not that stronger, then why do we get addicted of it?



Humans are creatures of pleasure that’s why people smoke marijuana…because it feels good. It’s just sad to think that there are still so many marijuana addicted out there who had not realized how it will ruin their life. I was once like them, but I finally decided to be on the right side, no longer blinded by the pleasure I get from my marijuana addiction.



Marijuana is both emotionally and mentally addictive. Marijuana addiction has the same characteristics as any other addiction to other drugs including alcohol, tobacco or even caffeine. But many marijuana users aren't serious cases, and usually smoke only once or twice a month. While not everyone who uses marijuana becomes addicted, when a user begins to seek out and take the drug compulsively, that person is said to be dependent on the drug or addicted to it. The short-term effects of marijuana addiction can include problems with memory and learning, distorted perception, difficulty in thinking and problem solving, loss of coordination and increased heart rate. Research findings for long-term marijuana use indicate some changes in the brain similar to those seen after long-term use of other major drugs of abuse.



There is more to marijuana addiction treatment than just ending marijuana use. Addiction isn't something that readily can be ended. Marijuana addiction treatment is a vital step in marijuana addiction recovery. Marijuana addiction rehabilitation program helps the recovering marijuana user make lifestyle changes, manage their feelings, develop coping tools, and learn marijuana refusal skills. Drug rehabilitation is a long term process. Detoxification is only the first step on the road of addiction treatment. Physical detoxification alone is not sufficient to change the patterns of a drug addict. Recovery from addiction involves an extended process which usually requires the help of drug addiction professionals.



To make a successful recovery, the addict needs new tools in order to deal with situations and problems which arise. Use your resources. Overcoming marijuana addiction is difficult, but you are not alone. If you are tempted to use or experience troublesome withdrawal symptoms, speak to your sponsor, your therapist or seek medical attention. Your chances for success are much higher if you maintain strong ties with your treatment team.
