Marijuana addiction treatment

Marijuana is a green, orange or gray mixture of dried, shredded flowers and leaves of the hemp plant Cannabis sativa. There are more than 200 slang terms for marijuana including "pot," "herb," "weed," "boom," "Mary Jane," "gangster," and "chronic." It is usually smoked as a cigarette (called a joint or a nail) or in a pipe or bong. In recent years, it has appeared in blunts. These are cigars that have been emptied of tobacco leaf and re-filled with marijuana, often with another drug, such as crack. Some users also mix marijuana into foods or use it to brewit as a tea .A series of cellular reactions that ultimately leads to the high that users experience when they smoke marijuana. The short-term effects of marijuana use will more then likely include problems with memory and learning; distorted perception; difficulty in thinking and problem solving; loss of coordination; and increased heart rate, anxiety, and panic attacks.  
Cannabis products are more commonly smoked. Their effect is felt within minutes, reach their peak in 10 to 30 minutes, and may linger for two to three hours. The effects experienced often depend upon the experience and expectations of the individual user as well as the activity of the actual drug itself. Low doses tend to induce a sense of well-being and a dreamy state of relaxation, which may be accompanied by a more enhanced sense of sight, smell, taste, and hearing as well as by subtle alterations in thought formation and expression. This state of intoxication may not be noticeable to an observer. However, driving, occupational or household accidents may result from a distortion of time and space coordination and impaired coordination. More potent doses intensify reactions. The individual may experience shifting sensory imagery, rapidly fluctuating emotions, a flight of fragmentary thoughts with disturbed associations, an altered sense of self-identity, impaired memory, and a dulling attention despite an illusion of heightened perception. High doses may result in image distortion, a loss off personal identity and dream like fantasies and hallucinations.

Medicinal use of cannabis
Marijuana has been used medicinally for numerous centuries. There is proof to suggest it is useful in providing relief from nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy, wasting and important weight loss, pain, glaucoma, epilepsy and asthma.

Tolerance and dependence
With regular use, individuals can develop a mild tolerance to marijuana. This signifies they need to use more and more to get the same effect.
Heavy and frequent consumption of cannabis can lead to physical dependence. Physical dependence happens when an individual’s body has adapted to a drug and is used to functioning with the drug present.
It is possible to be psychologically dependent on marijuana. This means that consuming marijuana becomes far more important than other activities in their life. Certain individuals crave the drug and find it very difficult to stop using it.

Is marijuana harmful?
Yes. If you smoke cannabis, it can harm you. Several individuals don’t know this, but cannabis smoke contains more tar and more of certain cancer-causing chemicals than tobacco smoke.
Here are certain other ways that cannabis use can harm you:

• To get the maximum effect, individuals who smoke cannabis frequently inhale more deeply and hold the smoke in their lungs longer than tobacco smokers do. This raises the possibility of cancer.
• Smoking cannabis irritates your lungs and has been related to chronic cough and bronchitis. It might also make asthma worse.
• In individuals at elevated risk of developing schizophrenia, cannabis may bring on symptoms earlier.
• If you're pregnant, the more cannabis you smoke, the more likely your baby will have issues (such as being too small).
• Smoking a lot of cannabis for a long time might make it harder to pay attention, remember things and learn.
• Large amounts of cannabis can cause “toxic psychosis.” This can cause individuals to hallucinate (see or hear things that aren’t really there), become paranoid (feel like individuals are out to get them) and believe things that aren’t true. These symptoms generally disappear within a week after the individual stops using cannabis.
• Cannabis that you purchase illegally may contain other substances, or harmful pesticides or fungus.
• You might make decisions while using cannabis that you regret later.
• Cannabis affects your co-ordination and makes it difficult to concentrate and react. This makes it hazardous to do things such as ride a bicycle, drive a car or operate machinery.
