It is a misconception that a person can not get addicted to marijuana. The truth is like any drug, pot affects the frontal lobe of the central nervous system forcing the brain to develop a dependency to the drug. Individuals who feel they do not have a pot addiction are the same people who have this dependency to the drug. In this stage of addiction use becomes necessity with loss of control.

Marijuana and Pot Addiction

Marijuana or pot is a derivative of the Hemp plant known as Cannabis Sativa. Parts of this plant are dried, crushed and smoked for the desired effects of the drug. The smoke from pot absorbs into soft tissue walls of the lungs and enters the blood stream. The drug aspect of Marijuana is known as tetrahydrocannibinol or shortened THC. THC enters the central nervous system through the blood stream and attaches itself to the cannabinoid receptors of the brain. Like all drugs this releases dopamine onto the central nervous system granting a sense of euphoria and pleasure. This is often referred to as getting high or baked.

Extended use of pot can have a number of effects on the central nervous system including greater levels of depression. Those individuals suffering from a marijuana addiction will use more of the drug to rid the sense of depression not knowing that it is the drug that is the cause of it. THC levels can also cause a number of negative factors on the central nervous system. High levels of THC can damage and even shut down functions of the brain.

Many individuals think that a pot addiction is harmless, but for most it is just a pathway to other things. Like all drugs the body finds a way to develop a tolerance to marijuana. Individuals will introduce other drugs and alcohol to the fray to increase the euphoria on the brain. This greatly increases the level of addiction more so then just a pot addiction. Individuals struggling from pot abuse can go a number of years, decades even, before they begin to lose control to their addiction.

The Affects from Pot Addiction

One of the chief issues with a pot addiction is similar to that of cigarettes. The inhalation of smoke greatly affects the mouth, throat and lungs of the individual. Extended use of marijuana can lead to lung and throat cancer. THC also greatly damages the immune system making it much more difficult for the body to fight off infection and cancer. Enhanced use of pot can lead to larger levels of intoxication. Authorities have reported that this level of intoxication has been the cause of more and more traffic accidents to level where it has become a national concern.

One of the main affects of pot addiction occurs in the central nervous system. Frequent use can lead to damaging levels of THC to the central nervous system. Those who imbibe in pot abuse will have a difficulty in forming memories and recollecting memories. THC also greatly affects the concentration abilities of the individual. This leads to a difficulty in school, work, and basic social interaction. Many times a pot addiction will make a person reclusive and only willing to be around other individuals who share in their addiction.

Pot addiction is the lack of control and uncontrolled impulse of the use of marijuana. Individuals suffering from a pot addiction may feel that they are smoking because they want to, that it makes them a better person. The truth is whether the want to or not they must use marijuana because they have no choice in the matter. They suffer from addiction even if they are willing not to admit it.
