Marijuana Addiction

Marijuana addiction, or cannabis use disorder, can develop when individuals feel unable to control their use of marijuana despite its impact on their daily lives. While marijuana is often seen as less addictive than other substances, frequent or heavy use can lead to dependence, tolerance, and withdrawal symptoms, such as irritability, sleep problems, and cravings when attempting to quit. Long-term use can impair memory, concentration, and motivation, impacting academic, work, and social life. Treatment for marijuana addiction may include behavioral therapy, support groups, and lifestyle changes to help people reduce reliance on marijuana and improve mental clarity, motivation, and overall quality of life.
