When they talk about addictions( addictions), they distinguish psychological and physiological dependence. Physiological dependence occurs when a narcotic substance starts processes in the body so that it is now difficult (or impossible) to do without it. A typical example is morphine, which interferes with the natural production of dopamine (the “pleasure hormone”). At the expense of how much cannabinol can knock down the natural mechanisms of pleasure and in what cases-there are different versions. But this is for the narcologist.
There is another type of addiction – psychological. It's much worse with her…. it can develop not only to various psychoactive substances, but to a wide range of things. We can get used to certain behaviors, stimuli, people, and so on. A number of these dependencies are quite wide. For example, there is a lot of talk about gambling and Internet addiction right now. However, it is clear that they do not cause any physical addiction. But people really feel irritated and anxious and can't always stop in time. In the case of marijuana, psychological dependence definitely exists. If the character is burdened with some unfavorable features, it definitely manifests itself. I myself observed one case when a” strong physical dependence ” on marijuana was observed in one girl for quite a long time and vividly, the doctors were first surprised and shrugged, then finally convinced that it was only a matter of psychology.
In pairs with psychology and psychiatry claimed that yes. After all, dependence(psychological) can even arise from food products or different types of activities. If a person gets pleasure from something and regularly repeats this something despite the negatives (he scored on work/family/health), then it can be argued that he has an addiction.
Contrary to the legend about the harmlessness of marijuana, addiction to it exists. However, the risk of developing such an addiction is lower than from drugs, alcohol and cigarettes.
For example, in the United States, more than 4 million people suffer from this addiction. Therefore, marijuana addiction there is included in the list of mental disorders.
The condition of a marijuana addict is described as “amotivation syndrome”, which means slow thinking abilities, passivity, rapid fatigue, and a shaky mood that often alternates with anxiety and aggressiveness.
I agree that the addiction is psychological, not physical. You can get addicted to the feeling when smoking weed relieves nervous tension. Since there is practically no harmless alternative (alcohol and other drugs are much more dangerous in terms of addiction and overdose) , it is natural that the hands themselves reach out to smoke. But this process can be controlled. There is absolutely no withdrawal and if there is no grass, then there is no desire to look for it, rushing from side to side. Yes, the brain under THC does not behave quite normally , but it is quite safe for both the smoker and others. I'm talking specifically about marijuana , not its derivatives and other narcotic substances. If you stop using it, then the body literally cleanses itself of weed in a month and restores all its brain thought processes. Frequent smoking does worsen a little memory and ability to perceive, but this is if you smoke at least 2 times a day for several years. And again, it does not worsen critically . smoking pot has more pros than cons . all the best and health )
What an interesting question! I will tell you about my mother, who has been working for 44 (forty-four) years in the toxicology laboratory for forensic medical examination. And its main activity is to determine what the patient is doing, so that you can know how to treat him. The most common cases are methyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, recent years spice, speed. for drugs, the analysis is usually done by testers, strips, as for pregnancy, but there are no universal ones for spice. So, for 44 years, my mother revealed a huge number of poisonings, or “overdoses” from all types of drugs, in the 90's hank, heroin, later crocodile, there were always all sorts of wheels, but NEVER ONCE!!! there were no overdoses of cannabioids, they manifest easily, but no one has ever died from cannabis. I can responsibly say that ethanol is much more dangerous than cannabis.
To begin with, marijuana is now smoked in several forms. The cheapest and most common option is hashish. It's simple, relatively affordable, and extremely effective. But, unscrupulous manufacturers add various chemical substances to this hashish. supplements that enhance the effect) so I would like to ask about them, and the rest is just fleeting (a year, two) fun and if a person who smokes is friends with his head, then he will easily tie up with this fun)
Of course it occurs. Fortunately, there are good specialists, and they really know their business. My neighbor is just one of those who needs the help of a narcologist, we communicate with his wife sometimes. She told me that at first she did not hope that he would quit, he did not want to be treated himself, she could not force him. We found the strength and turned to https://spartarostov.ru/help/, now the second month is coming – he says he has become a different person, is recovering.
A person with prolonged use of cannabis may begin to develop(in 9% of cases) psychological dependence (anxiety, chills, melancholy, fever), but it is easier than from nicotine and passes faster. I personally know a person who “got hooked” on grass, but after a week of abstinence, he was already walking like a cucumber. And also – don't listen to psychologists about drugs, it's better to listen to psychoactive substances from psychiatrists and neuroscientists, they are better versed in this.
A huckster friend of mine once said: “Chuvaaaaak, who even says that marijuana is addictive? I've been smoking almost every day for three years now – and no addiction!”
I don't know how it works from a medical point of view, but from the experience of watching friends, I can say that addiction exists, but it has about the same nature as addiction to social networks, TV shows, and TV. How strong it is – you can judge, personally I think that it is enough.� In addition, the effects of marijuana on people are extremely individual. A ballet dancer I knew told me that on a European tour, they lit a joint right behind the stage, and passed it along the chain as they went out (that is, the one who came on stage last finished smoking). Another friend in his student years, marijuana helped to focus during the preparation for the session, which he passed extremely successfully, and at the moment he generally connected his life with science. For me personally, this seems wild and strange, because marijuana acts on me like a mixture of sleeping pills and aminazine: it calms me down too much and kills any desire to act and the ability to think properly.
Substances are not for everyone! It all depends on the person. I knew people who woke up with the idea of “smoking” and those who could smoke for many days in a row, and then calmly stop. I think with this case everything is purely individual.
Physical – hardly, at least no scientific evidence has been found. But the fact that a person who constantly uses marijuana is in a state of stupor, and only this state already causes him comfort – can already be considered an addiction.

I advise you to read about marijuana and other interesting substances on the website Lurkmore. A lot of useful information.
You may not be able to open it (thanks to Roskomnadzor), but there are easy ways to bypass the lock.
