There are many things being said about marijuana dependence. Some people say it's harmful and some say it does you absolutely no harm. The truth is that marijuana is a drug and just like crack, heroin or any other hard drug, it will hurt you if you use it. There are a few things you need to know about pot and I'll try to share these things in this article.



1. People are psychologically addicted to marijuana, not physically.



Since the addiction to marijuana is psychological instead of physical, marijuana dependence can be broken using methods like meditation and hypnosis.



2. Marijuana makes you perceive the world differently.



I am sure you've heard about the visions, illusions and other things happening to pot smokers. Those things seem harmless, but if they happen a lot, they can actually cause anxiety, paranoia and schizophrenia or even depression. You become disconnected from reality.



3. It's not that hard to quit smoking pot.



Now, don't get me wrong. It's not going to be a piece of cake for you to quit, but it's much easier than you probably think. There is much help available, both free and paid, that will not only assist you as you create a plan to get clean, but also will make sure that the plan is properly executed so that you are actually successful with your therapy.



4. There are side effects to quitting marijuana.



I mean, just think about it. You've developed marijuana dependence. Your body needs it, or should I say your mind needs it and so your body "thinks" it needs it too. In any case, you're extremely used to it and your body is going to react to not getting it.



What would the withdrawal symptoms look like?



Well, that's a little hard to say as everyone goes through this a little differently. The one thing that is actually pretty common among people that have tried to get off that drug is insomnia and other sleeping problems. The only reason I am telling you this is so that when you quit and you can't sleep, you don't get too stressed out.



Other withdrawal symptoms that might be a little less frequent are shivers, excessive sweating and irritation which are not dangerous at all but can be very annoying.



Marijuana dependence is beatable and if you try, you'll break it. It won't be easy, but it will definitely be worth it.
