Cannabis Dependance

What is cannabis?

Cannabis, also known as weed, is a plant that is commonly used for its psychoactive effects, medical benefits, and industrial purposes. It contains compounds called cannabinoids, the most well-known being tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD). THC is the main compound responsible for the “high” or altered state of consciousness that people experience when using cannabis recreationally.

What are the signs of cannabis addiction?

  • Withdrawal symptoms, including sleep issues and appetite changes
  • Increased tolerance, needing more THC to feel the same effects
  • Difficulty controlling or reducing use
  • Neglecting family, work, or school responsibilities
  • Experiencing withdrawal symptoms, which may include:

Tremors

Vomiting
