What Is Marijuana?

Marijuana originated from the Cannabis sativa plant. It also has some familiar names such as weed, cannabis, grass, pot, herb, Mary Jane, and bud; it comes from dried parts of the plant. It includes THC, a euphoric substance that alters your brain functioning, similar to other drugs. In the US, it’s the most often used illegal chemical. Usually, individuals inhale it in water pipes, frequently known as bongs, or in cigarette rolls called joints. Others smoke it as blunts, which are simply cigars with the tobacco removed and the marijuana added back in. The smell of weed smoke is powerful and unpleasant.

If you find it difficult to focus on your therapy or if these withdrawal symptoms become annoying, medical professionals may give you medicine to make you feel at ease. Uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms are suppressed by medication-assisted treatment, giving you time to concentrate on your detox/rehabilitation. 

Treatment

You’ll take part in various therapies during your detox that will help reorganize your thought process. You’ll understand the causes of addiction, how it impacts your life, along with how to resist cravings and triggers to avoid relapsing. There are several therapy options for cannabis addiction, such as:

Recreational activities

Yoga or meditation
Cognitive behavioral therapy
Dialectical behavioral therapy 12-step support group
Trauma therapy (for relaxation)
Group and individual therapy (to improve cognitive problems and improve skills)
Mindfulness-based healing (to gain back your control over your life)
Coping skills therapy

After Care

It isn’t always a sign of addiction if a person is dependent on Benzo or has developed a tolerance to it. Tolerance occurs when a person eventually needs more quantity to get the intended benefits. When someone takes benzodiazepines according to the doctor’s instructions, tolerance can still develop; however, it can also occur when someone misuses these drugs.

When a person’s body adjusts to benzodiazepines, it becomes dependent. When benzodiazepines are misused over time, the body becomes so adapted to them that withdrawal symptoms occur when the user reduces or stops using them.
