What Exactly Is Marijuana? What does Marijuana Withdrawal Look Like?
It is a dried mixture of leaves, seeds, steams and flowers of Cannabis sativa or the hemp plant. It is often called weed, pot, herb, grass, reefer or Mary Jane. As a general rule, marijuana users will smoke it in cigars, bongs, or pipes. Some will hand roll in cigarettes. Some may mix in with food, such as brownies, or brew it in tea. Marijuana continues to be one of the most common illicit drugs in the U.S. The primary ingredient in marijuana is known as HTC, which can offer pain relief for its users, can increase appetite and help control nausea. In some states, marijuana has been legalized. In these states, the drug can be prescribed for anxiety, glaucoma, nausea and pain relief.

A 12-step program helps you realize that your use of marijuana is a disease and that you need to understand that before you can truly recover.
