Marijuana Abuse

Dependence on marijuana is a disease where the individual continues to consume despite the medical and psychosocial consequences. Contrary to popular belief, marijuana can lead to serious problems such as anxiety disorders, perception disturbances, cognitive function, aggressive behaviors and social problems. When not being consumed, symptoms of irritability, or anxious mood accompanied by physiological changes such as tremor, sweating, nausea, and sleep and appetite changes occur.

In addition, the use of marijuana increases the risk of acquiring dependencies to other substances and mental disorders.
