With more and more states legalizing or decriminalizing marijuana, its use is becoming more widely accepted. But is there an increased danger of addiction? The risk is important to consider. While not everyone who uses marijuana becomes addicted, others do.
If you or a loved one is experiencing any concerning symptoms from marijuana use, there is no need to go through it alone. At Solution Based Treatment, our marijuana rehab in Murrieta, California offers assistance to anyone dealing with destructive effects of marijuana use.

Is Marijuana Addictive?
Addiction to cannabis, or cannabis use disorder, is defined as dependence or abuse of marijuana. Many people who use cannabis do not develop an addiction to it. These people take it only when they choose to, to experience the effects that they expect. However, not everyone is able to maintain a healthy relationship with cannabis.
The strains of marijuana on the market today are much more potent than the weed that people of the 1960s had available. With this in mind, it’s easy to understand how a high tolerance may build if one uses marijuana regularly.
If you or a loved one are experiencing any of the following symptoms, it may be time to ask for help:
- Needing to use higher and higher amounts of marijuana to achieve the same effect
- Use of marijuana has become a central activity in daily life
- Increasing amounts of money and time are spent in acquiring more cannabis
- Feelings of agitation or irritation when without access to marijuana
- Continued use in spite of dangerous consequences
When marijuana addiction takes hold, it can make anyone feel defeated. Needing to use cannabis just to feel “normal” can become a problem that overtakes other areas of one’s life. Relationships may become strained, and those who deal with a dependence on cannabis may become isolated.
It’s important to remember that although addiction can affect behaviors and relationships, there are caring and compassionate people who want to help. SBT’s team of medical and psychological experts are ready to help you and your loved ones through marijuana abuse recovery.
