What is cannabis?

Cannabis, commonly known as marijuana, has evolved from a controversial substance to a complex topic in modern healthcare and society. As its legal status changes across the United States, understanding its effects, risks, and potential for addiction becomes increasingly important.

Understanding Cannabis: Basic Components and Effects

Cannabis contains over 100 chemical compounds, with THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and CBD (cannabidiol) being the most prominent. While THC produces the characteristic “high,” CBD offers potential therapeutic benefits without psychoactive effects. Verify your insurance coverage to learn about treatment options for cannabis-related concerns.

Signs of Cannabis Addiction

Cannabis addiction, though often downplayed, manifests through various signs: – Increased tolerance requiring larger amounts – Failed attempts to quit or cut down – Continued use despite negative consequences – Withdrawal symptoms when stopping – Neglecting responsibilities for cannabis use
