What is Marijuana Abuse?
Marijuana abuse can be as serious as other types of substance use disorders, with less severe long-term effects. Most people who seek treatment have been using the substance daily for years or decades. For some individuals, it can be a problem and they fail to seek treatment believing they are not addicted.
Individuals experience several factors that lead them towards the road to addiction. Those who have pre-existing psychiatric conditions are more likely to experience addiction to marijuana. Abuse can also co-occur with existing substance abuse problems such as cocaine or alcohol.
