What is Marijuana Addiction?
Marijuana is not perceived to be as dangerous and addictive as other drugs. This could partly be the reason behind its widespread use and popularity among Americans.
It is possible to consume marijuana for a much longer period of time without experiencing the same level of health risks and withdrawal symptoms as users of heroin or meth. It’s also considered less risky than other drugs when it comes to dependency and physical harm.
However, this perception of the drug could be dangerous, causing people to believe marijuana is not addictive or dangerous.
But, despite popular belief, marijuana can be both addictive and dangerous.
Unlike heroin or meth, the effects of Marijuana addiction tend to lean toward being physiologically addictive. That means users don’t really experience strong withdrawal effects like one would with opiates. Instead, their addiction is more of a mental obsession and a habit.
Long-term marijuana users tend to smoke weed throughout their day as second nature, in the same way, someone who drinks often might have a beer daily after work. As weed levels out their mood and makes them feel normal, they are dependent on it for most of their daily activities.

What Are Marijuana Withdrawals?
For people that use Marijuana occasionally, withdrawals might not be something to worry about. But it’s a different story for those who consume it regularly.
Marijuana withdrawals can occur when people stop using cannabis abruptly. In most cases, withdrawal symptoms from marijuana are mild, but they still have the capacity to create discomfort which includes trouble sleeping and cravings for the drug.

What Are the Signs of Marijuana Withdrawal
In comparison with opioids, meth, or cocaine, marijuana is not considered to be physically addictive.
Mild withdrawal symptoms can occur after prolonged use, especially if the drug is abused. But not to the extent that a heroin addict could suffer life-threatening withdrawals and seizures. In fact, many experts are not of the opinion that it is physically addictive since it does not cause severe withdrawal symptoms, nor does it threaten your life.
When you stop using marijuana after a prolonged period of time, you may experience the following withdrawal symptoms:
- Headaches
- Insomnia
- Decreased Appetite
- Weight Loss
- Tremors
