People are relatively unaware of the damage that marijuana addiction can cause to the central nervous system. Like most illicit drugs, addiction to marijuana can directly affect the frontal lobe of the brain. This region of the brain is responsible many of the cognitive functions of the brain such as reason and conscience. The marijuana attaches itself the cannabinoid receptors in the brain altering their basic functions. Extended use of marijuana can affect the cannabinoid receptors increasing the damage to the central nervous system. Functions of the brain that are directly affected by this are, memory, coordination and body movement, and higher cognitive functions.

A marijuana addiction program helps to restore many of these functions once they have been compromised by addiction. Marijuana is considered a ground level drug by many. People can, and usually do, turn to additional drugs to increase the influence of marijuana once the body has built up a string enough tolerance. It is also common practice to couple marijuana usage with binge drinking of alcohol to increase the slowing influence of the central nervous system. An effective marijuana addiction program should directly address each specific area of these issues.
