Marijuana Abuse

As with any drug, there is a fine line between marijuana abuse and marijuana addiction. The beginning of most addictions appears harmless. In the case of marijuana, the addict may start using for medical or social reasons. But when the use increases in frequency, and others begin to suspect there is a problem, abuse or addiction are likely possibilities.

In the case of addiction that begins with use for medical purposes, when the patient starts deviating from the prescription – that is, the frequency, or dose outlined by the doctor – then they are exhibiting abusive behavior. If you believe you or a loved one is abusing marijuana, it is never too early to begin a treatment program either through direct admission to a detox and rehab facility or first through a marijuana intervention if the individual is unwilling to accept that they have a problem.
