Cannabis Abuse

The effects of marijuana include altered sensory perceptions, impaired cognitive function, and potential long-term memory issues

Here’s the revised text with Canadian spelling and “marijuana” consistently used:

The use of cannabis, also known as marijuana, weed, kush, mary jane, pot, and grass, has significant impacts on both mental and physical health, making rehab an important consideration for those struggling with marijuana addiction. The effects of marijuana include altered sensory perceptions, impaired cognitive function, and potential long-term memory issues. For many users, frequent use can lead to marijuana addiction, characterised by a strong craving for the drug and difficulties in controlling consumption despite adverse effects. This dependency often necessitates marijuana rehab programmes to address both psychological and physiological aspects of addiction. Effective marijuana rehab approaches typically combine behavioural therapies, counselling, and support groups to help individuals overcome their addiction and achieve long-term recovery. Understanding these impacts and seeking appropriate treatment are crucial steps in managing marijuana addiction and promoting overall well-being.

Approximately 9% of people who use marijuana will develop a marijuana use disorder or addiction, with the risk increasing for those who start using at a younger age.
Withdrawal symptoms from marijuana can include irritability, insomnia, decreased appetite, and anxiety, making it challenging for some individuals to quit without support.
Regular marijuana use, particularly during adolescence, can impair cognitive functions such as memory, learning, and attention.
Smoking marijuana can lead to respiratory issues similar to those caused by tobacco use, including chronic bronchitis and lung irritation.
