Marijuana addiction is the consequence of habitual use of marijuana. It can be described as chronically making the decision to quit using marijuana followed shortly by a relapse due to overwhelming cravings for it. Marijuana is considered to be both mentally and emotionally addictive. Users come to believe that they need it to function normally and have fun. This misconception is very common among those who use marijuana on a daily basis. Many of these habitual users find that they must be high to enjoy themselves and to feel normal, even though marijuana itself is not physically addictive.
Over time, repeated use of marijuana changes the individual in many ways. Changes can be scene socially, emotionally, physically, as well as psychologically. Individuals addicted to marijuana tend to gravitate to others who share their common interest in the drug. They also tend to loose interest in activities that once meant a lot to them such as going out with friends and participating in sports. Habitual users of marijuana tend to change their appearance, and begin to dress more casual and at times may even look sloppy. Additionally, they may feel that every activity should revolve around smoking, obtaining, and getting stoned.
