Because Marijuana is widely accepted as a recreational drug, it is one of the hardest addictions to overcome. Like alcohol, people associate marijuana use with fun and happy occasions. This reality makes it hard for people to quit. Most marijuana addicts do not know they have an addiction problem until their social and family circles have been destroyed.

A large part of the world’s population uses marijuana very often and do not show symptoms of addiction. However, the sensation of well-being and the relaxation that users feel can be very appealing to people with tendencies to addiction, which increases the risk of becoming addicted to the substance.
