What is the addiction rate and the recovery potential for marijuana??
Please answers this question as fast as possible!!
Thank You
Marijuana is not physically addictive. Psychological dependency is common: this means that a user will want to use MJ again, because they like the way it makes them feel, although there is no persistent chemical change in the brain.
The recovery potential should be looked at as part of improving the whole life and surroundings of the user.
Treat the circumstances that make the user want to get stoned, and you might break the user's habit. Finally, though, the choice is with the person using the MJ, and unless the user is a minor or otherwise under guardianship, that choice can't be made on their behalf.

My ex-husband has a drug addiction problem. Has been to numerous of rehabilitation facilities including a christian based one. I would like for us to get back together but he doesn't seem to want or try to change. One of the things that I and the rehab places have said "Change your mind change your life" When he watches TV he watches stuff that in my opinion doesn't enhance his mind at all. "Cops" and other programs where they are always busting people for drugs. Just recently one telling how truckers transport marijuana and cocaine. I keep telling him that he doesn't need to watch stuff like that..that it only puts his mind on the drugs. He seems to think I'm crazy and that it doesn't, affect him yet he tries to sneak and watch it. Are there any counselors or ex-drug addicts out there that agree with me. Where the mind goes the man follows? I think he should listen to and watch uplifting positive agendas. Thanks for your input.
If your ex-hubby has an addiction, then its his problem.
One that HE got himself into and only HE can get himself out of. He doesn't need the excuse of 'inappropriate' tv programs to use;thats a decision he will make on his own. His choice of programs is his own and, personally, I'd rather see someone watching a show about drugs than doing them. And he shouldn't have to sneak to watch tv;he's a grown man. You're just teaching him that being deceitful is necessary to be around you.
Watching TV is a way of disassociating from one's reality for a while. Addicts like to disassociate. Its relatively harmless compared to active addiction. OF course, it would be nice to see him spend his time going to a meeting and socializing with other like-minded recovering addicts. But HE has to make that decision and re-prioritize his recovery over his choice of entertainment.
And he doesn't need to be in any intense personal relationships while he gets his recovery on track. He's no good to anybody until he's good for himself. And the best thing you can give him is the support as a friend to recover without the pressure of a personal relationship to navigate through while he learns how to live drug/alcohol free.

A lot of people say that it is easy to quit weed because marijuana is not addictive.
Well, from my experiences of talking to HUNDREDS of people as well as experiencing the struggle myself for years, I know for a FACT that marijuana IS addictive.
…That is why I teach people how to quit smoking weed.
You may not have struggles trying to quit weed and that’s because the addiction is dependent on the INDIVIDUAL.
Some people are addicted to drinking, gambling, sex, and other vices.
…But there are those others that are addicted to smoking weed. So just because you don’t have struggles with weed DOES NOT MEAN you should tell others that marijuana is not addictive.
…So to all the people saying that marijuana is not addictive, PLEASE take into consideration the thousands and millions of people who struggle over this very challenging addiction.

Certain people are always going to dismiss marijuana addiction and minimize it in some way. They do this by comparing it to other drugs that are more addictive and have more serious withdrawal symptoms, such as opiates and alcohol. But marijuana is definitely addictive, and anyone who is using it on a regular basis needs to take a look at their using behavior and question if they are really in control or not. The consequences of marijuana use are not always as in-your-face as with some other drugs, but they are still significant and can have a seriously negative impact on a person’s life.
The marijuana addict is essentially self medicating their feelingsPeople who come to depend on getting high every day are doing it for a reason. Essentially they are medicating their feelings. What feelings are they medicating? Any addict who uses every day or close to every day has become reliant on the drug in order to avoid feeling any uncomfortable feelings that they don’t want to feel. This includes anger and frustration, but also loneliness or boredom too.
