Am I Addicted to Marijuana?

As the most commonly used illicit drug in the United States, marijuana use continues to be a hot button topic.

There are people who feel there is nothing wrong with smoking marijuana. There are also those who understand the seriousness of using this drug.

Regardless of your stance on marijuana use, here is something to remember: it is possible to become addicted. As a result, continued drug use can harm your mind, body, personal relationships, and much more.

Below are 10 ways to tell if you are addicted to marijuana:

  1. It is the first thing you think about when you wake up in the morning.

    Marijuana addiction can cause irritability and mood swings.

  2. You no longer smoke marijuana for recreational purposes, but instead have made it a big part of your life.
  3. You are unable to stop using the drug despite the fact that it is having a negative impact in many ways.
  4. Your addiction has led to financial troubles, as you are spending a lot of money to get your hands on the drug.
  5. Your memory is not nearly as sharp as it used to be.
  6. Irritability and mood swings have become the norm. For many, this makes it difficult to communicate with others or perform well in school or at work.
  7. Drug cravings are intense, making it nearly impossible to concentrate on what is most important in your life.
  8. Your tolerance continues to rise, meaning that you have to use more of the drug to achieve the desired results.
  9. Choosing friends based on those who are interested in using marijuana with you.
  10. Using the drug to escape reality. For example, you turn to marijuana if you have a bad day at school or work.

These are just a few of the many signs pointing towards a marijuana addiction. If you are unable to quit on your own, if the drug continues to rule your life, it is time to consider your next step.

Since marijuana is not as powerful as other drugs, such as cocaine and heroin, you may be able to overcome the addiction without professional help. If you find this difficult, don’t hesitate to consult with a drug treatment facility. Doing so will help you pinpoint your problem, receive treatment, and put your life back on the right track.

A marijuana addiction may not sound serious right now, but if it continues it will change your life for the worse.
