Getting rid of pot.
There are lots of reasons why people start using cannabis. A very common reason is to escape from their problems. These problems frequently include depression and mental illness, family problems, or issues within their social lives. Despite the fact that cannabis is not an ‘addictive’ drug per se, dependency can quickly form when used as a way to escape life’s issues. How can cannabis users beat their addiction?
First, we will start with some simple information about cannabis. It can be found in plenty of different forms and with many different levels of potency. For instance, it can be found as oil, resin (hashish), skunk or grass. Despite the fact that they come from the same plant it’s the breed and cultivation of the plant can determine its potency. Cannabis can be brewed as a tea or baked into cakes but in the main it is smoked as a joint or pipe.
Marijuana can be used to aid sleep, lessen pain and improve feelings of relaxation. An important aspect in the dependency is the social aspect and ritualised preparation and sharing of cannabis laced cigarettes, known as ‘joints’, or ‘spliffs’.
Though a primary benefit is relaxation, there are some unpleasant reactions which can counteract this, including paranoia, tension and anxiety and panic attacks as well as short term memory loss, diminished co-ordination and attention, light headedness and hunger. Even if a user might have noticed the adverse reactions, both physically and mentally, they still experience difficulty while stopping. This is normally the point the user is likely to realise they are dependent.
Whether you eat, drink or smoke pot there are many physical symptoms that come with it. These can include accelerated heartbeat, high blood pressure levels, fertility problems and also a loss of memory, balance and dexterity.
