Stop Using Marijuana For Good
More than 55 million Americans use marijuana. Whether you live in a state where it’s legal or not, if marijuana is taking over your life, it’s time to make a change. No matter why you use marijuana or how you use it, if it harms you, you can leave it behind.
The drug comes from the Cannabis sativa or the hemp plant. It’s one of the most commonly used drugs in the U.S. The primary ingredient in marijuana is THC, which can relieve pain, increase appetite, and help control nausea.
In some states, marijuana is legal for medical use. Doctors in these states can prescribe the drug for anxiety, glaucoma, nausea, and pain relief. In other states, recreational marijuana use is legal. Regardless, that doesn’t mean using it is entirely safe.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), about three in 10 people who use marijuana develop marijuana use disorder. If you can’t stop using marijuana despite the negative consequences, you could be one of them.
If you struggle to stop using marijuana despite the consequences, it’s time to get professional help. Shadow Mountain Recovery can help you kick the habit once and for all.
Marijuana Addiction Signs and Symptoms
Marijuana helps people feel calm and content. However, after prolonged usage, it affects your concentration, movement, perception of time, and motivation. You may need to use it more to get the same effect as your body develops tolerance.
Excessive marijuana use may eventually harm your relationships and can harm your career. It can also lead to financial concerns.
Marijuana use can cause a range of side effects, including:- Red eyes
- Headaches
- Impaired coordination
- Sexual issues
- Dry mouth
- High blood pressure
- Pulmonary issues
- Slowed reaction times
- Irregular heartbeat
- Panic attacks
- Extreme apathy
- Memory issues
Habitual marijuana use can result in delusions, paranoia, and schizophrenia. For pregnant people, using marijuana can increase the risk of complications with the pregnancy.
If you or a loved one displays any of the above signs, seeking detox and treatment can lead to healing and recovery.
Experiencing Marijuana Detox and Withdrawal
The first step in recovery is to get marijuana out of your system. That means detoxification.
Not everyone with a marijuana use disorder will experience withdrawal symptoms, but many people do. Withdrawal symptoms are often associated with long-term marijuana use. They typically occur within the first week of stopping use, and the severity depends on the duration and extent of your marijuana use.
For those who do experience marijuana withdrawal symptoms, they may include:- Nausea
- Panic attacks
- Restlessness
- Increased anxiety
- Irritability
- Insomnia
- Low mood
- Aggression
- Decreased appetite
- Headache
None of these symptoms are life-threatening, but they can be unpleasant enough to cause some people to start using marijuana again. That’s why it’s important to remember that you’re not alone on this journey.
