All About Cannabis

Cannabis is without a doubt the most popular mild altering drug throughout the world. Cannabis is a natural growing substance that comes from marijuana plant extracts.  It is most commonly smoked by rolling the substance into cigarette papers to make a joint.  It is also used in a water pipe called bong.  There are many street names for cannabis but the more popular ones are weed, blow, blunt, grass, smoke, hemp and dope.

Cannabis Effects

The most noticeable effect of cannabis is the change to a person’s overall behavior.  It has direct effects such as relaxation, chilling out mood, talkative and giggles.  The after effects are a bit more dramatic including anxiety and depression, mood swings and paranoia.

Cannabis Use And Cannabis Addiction

Smoking cannabis can be just a general thing people do with their friends or it can be a harmful addiction.  There are signs to look for to determine if you or someone you love may have a drug addiction. One is that you are always thinking about when your next hit will be or where it will come from.  If you start to lose interest in the things that once brought you joy or if all of your spare time is spent smoking pot, this may be a sign of a substance abuse problem.  Other signs of a cannabis addiction include needing much more cannabis now to get the high effect than you did when you first started or trying to stop smoking cannabis only to start using again after only a short stint of abstinence.

Health Risks Of Cannabis Addiction

Many studies have shown that the long term effects of cannabis use leads to physical and emotional problems.  Many people are under the assumption that cannabis is completely harmful but research has shown that cannabis has as many cancer causing chemicals as tobacco.

Why People Become Addicted

Some people have different addictions. One person may be addicted to cannabis while another may have an alcohol addiction.  One person may have a food addiction while someone else may have a gambling problem.  People become addicted to certain things because of the effects that are produced.  With cannabis, these effects include being relaxed, heightened senses and a chilled out feeling.

Cannabis Addiction Treatment

It is not easy to just stop smoking cannabis on your own.  There are a variety of treatments that are available for you or a loved one to get the help you need.  These treatments range from detox programs, counseling, medication and rehab.  Not every treatment will work the same for each person.  The most important thing to take into consideration is that treatment does not affect just the user but the whole family.  Having the support of family and friends is important to your recovery.
