Marijuana Addiction-Is It Really Addicting?

There has been a lot of talk lately about Marijuana, and if it really is addicting.  There are a lot of battles going on about physical addiction etc, but let’s talk about “Psychological addiction”.

here’s a good question. Why do I use Marijuana?  Perhaps to “relax” me, maybe to let down my defenses and make me feel more social.  Maybe it’s a “coping” tool, that I self medicate with so I can deal with the stresses in life.

How about if I quit cold turkey?  Would I be able to quit cold turkey tomorrow and never “need” it again. I think the trigger word there is “need”.  If we find ourselves actually “needing” something to function and or escape, it is a dependency.  Thus, the “psychological addiction” of Marijuana.

Ask yourself if you really need the grass, and if you could stop it tomorrow?  stay well and God Bless…
