There is much controversy surrounding marijuana Addiction. Much time and money is spent each year promoting marijuana as not only non-addictive but even beneficial to the point that lobbies have gotten the drug approved in certain areas throughout the U.S. To be used for “medical” purposes.
This despite the countless millions who by their own admission have become to some lesser or greater degree enslaved to the usage of marijuana. Also despite the fact that the number of people who seek long term Treatment for addiction to marijuana is and has been on a rapid rise over the last few years reaching similar numbers heroin addiction, cocaine addiction and alcoholism.
The fact is that marijuana is addictive. There is no more argument or sane discussion about the topic. It is my personal opinion that the only persons who would promote marijuana as being non-addictive are those directly making money from it's sales.
Further, it is not the families ripped apart by their loved one' continued usage. As is often the case it is one thing to have a staunch conviction about something but when you have that kind of conviction about something that ruins so many people's lives there has to be an unannounced benefit associated with the conviction.
For marijuana addiction I think what is needed is more education and more availability of successful marijuana Addiction Treatment. Recovery for marijuana addiction, like many other addictions can be a hard fought battle and can require work and determination.
A person seeking to rid themselves of this enslavement would be well served to find out about thorough therapeutic regimes designed to unclasp the tentacles of marijuana addiction and allow the person to resume a drug free and productive life. Recovery is possible and help is available.
