Marijuana is the most commonly used illicit drug in the United States and anyone who uses it for a long period of time can develop a marijuana addiction. Marijuana users may experience any of the following short-term effects almost immediately after smoking;
- Problems with learning and memory
- Distorted perception
- Difficulty in thinking and problem solving
- Loss of coordination
- Increased heart rate
Marijuana addiction can also lead to emotional problems such as depression, anxiety or personality disturbances. Frequent marijuana abuse has also been known to make daily problems even worse while stunting a person's ability to progress socially and intellectually.
Marijuana Withdrawal Symptoms
Marijuana addiction carries both a physical and emotional dependency and it can be extremely difficult for a long-term user to quit. Marijuana users may experience any of the following withdrawal symptoms:
- Anxiety
- Physical tension
- Restlessness
- Stomach pain
- Irritability
- Increased anger and aggression
- Insomnia
Marijuana Detox
Marijuana detox programs are available to help people overcome their marijuana addiction. In a medically-based detox program a patient can safely eliminate the drug from their body so that they are no longer dependent on it. A patient may also have the option of working with a nutritionist or counselor who can help guide them through their recovery and provide further support. A patient will then be referred to a marijuana rehab program designed to teach the person new ways of staying away from drugs.
If you are suffering from marijuana addiction, please call 1-866-99-DETOX (1-866-993-3869) to locate treatment programs in your area. Addiction treatment professionals are available 24/7, and all calls are confidential.
