Marijuana Addiction

Leave Marijuana Addiction in the Past with Help from New Hope Ranch

Marijuana is probably one of the most controversial drugs in recent years. One camp argues that marijuana should be legalized for medical use, another wants it legalized for both medicinal and recreational use, and the final group wants it to remain illegal. In fact, some states have already legalized it for medicinal purposes, while others have legalized the use and sale of marijuana for any reason. It’s no secret that marijuana use has become more socially acceptable in the past 20 years.

In 2017, over half the adults in the United States said they had tried marijuana at least once in their life while 55 million people admitted to using the drug in the past 12 months. As for regular use, 35 million Americans say they use marijuana regularly or at least twice a month. While some people are able to use this drug recreationally, others use it to escape the stress and pressure of everyday life. When that happens, you’ve moved from recreational use to a marijuana addiction.
