Addiction Info - Pot
Pot, or marijuana addiction, has telltale signs that are discussed in detail below. For the person struggling with pot addiction, now is never the right time, to cut back and stop using. For many addicted individuals, pot is a stepping-stone drug – the drug that leads to cocaine, heroin or meth addiction.
With pot, the addicted individual is obsessed with these questions:1) Do I have any?
2) If not, where can I buy some?
3) Can I get high now?
The ability to ‘check out’ with pot, delivers relief from the normal day to day pressures of life, as well as the obsession to use.
The user requires more to give the same result, as the body changes the potency in which it metabolizes the drug. It takes more to produce the required result.
Even in the face of consequences, the user cannot stop smoking. Promises will be made, then not followed through on. Short and long-term memory may be affected. Problems with work and other commitments are often influenced negatively.
The brutal cycle of addiction continues in a circular fashion – it causes problems which the drug relieves the pain from…and so on, and so on, and so on.
Life becomes more and more unmanageable. The things lost become more important & valuable.
The cycle of addiction can be broken – and it begins with getting the addicted individual in to treatment. The recovery process will begin for the entire intervention network.
