Cannabis addiction
Cannabis addiction
Cannabis is by far the substance that is misused the most. Using this excessively can lead to abuse, addiction, and dependency. As a result of frequent usage, the body grew used to the drug's presence there. Cannabis affects the central nervous system, which results in sensations of relaxation, mild euphoria, increased appetite, and issues with time and space perception. Cannabis misuse puts you at risk for both short-term harm and long-term harm, including the establishment of an addiction. The misconception that cannabis is a benign or innocuous substance is widespread. Cannabis abusers' bodies display a range of withdrawal symptoms when they attempt to quit using marijuana, including the following:
- experience strong urge to consume cannabis
- Difficulty in sleep
- Persistent Dizziness
- Difficulty in focusing and concentrating
- Sexual dysfunction
- Agitation
- Irritability
- Depression
