- Can marijuana cause addiction?
Yes. While marijuana is often perceived as non-addictive, approximately 9% of users develop marijuana use disorder, and that figure rises to around 17% for those who begin using in adolescence. Frequent, heavy use can create psychological dependence, with users experiencing cravings, irritability, sleep difficulties, and anxiety when they try to stop.
- What are the signs that marijuana use has become problematic?
Signs include needing to use marijuana daily to feel normal, failed attempts to cut back, neglecting responsibilities or relationships due to use, using marijuana to cope with anxiety or stress rather than addressing the underlying causes, and experiencing withdrawal symptoms such as irritability, insomnia, and appetite changes when not using.
