Understanding Marijuana Addiction

Marijuana use has become increasingly common and socially accepted, but it’s important to recognize that some individuals can develop a dependence on cannabis, leading to marijuana addiction. At Clear Path Recovery, we understand that while many people use marijuana without significant problems, others may experience challenges controlling their use, which can impact their health, relationships, and daily life.

What Is Marijuana Addiction?

Marijuana addiction, also known as Cannabis Use Disorder (CUD), occurs when a person continues to use cannabis despite negative consequences. Symptoms may include cravings, difficulty cutting back, increased tolerance, and withdrawal symptoms such as irritability, sleep problems, or anxiety when not using.

Signs and Risks of Marijuana Dependence

Some signs of marijuana addiction include neglecting responsibilities at work, school, or home, spending excessive time obtaining or using cannabis, and continuing use even when it causes problems physically, mentally, or socially. Although marijuana is often viewed as less harmful than other substances, chronic use can impair memory, motivation, and mental health, particularly in younger users
