What is Cannabis (Weed) Addiction?

As you may know, cannabis is one of the most common drugs in the UK and smoking weed is getting more and more popular amongst everyone. Although not commonly thought to be an addictive drug, it's estimated that around 10% of all cannabis users are addicted. Cannabis addiction can lead to serious physical and emotional problems. Many studies also link heavy cannabis use with psychiatric conditions such as depression and schizophrenia.

Cannabis addicts often feel isolated and withdraw from social contact. If you're suffering from the effects of cannabis addiction you may not know where to turn for help. We can help you overcome your condition.

As with all addictions, the first step is admitting that you have a problem. The Causeway Retreat is a unique treatment centre on a totally private island. Our programmes for cannabis addiction are based on tested, evidence-based techniques that can put you or your loved one back on the path towards full recovery.

I would like to thank you and the staff of The Causeway Retreat for the treatment and care that my daughter received when my daughter stayed at The Causeway Retreat. Considering her state of mind when she was admitted to The Causeway Retreat for treatment and the immense change that was achieved in her attitudes and ambivalence to drugs I really feel fortunate that I made the right choice in her treatment at The Causeway Retreat.

Symptoms of Cannabis Addiction

Cannabis (also known as marijuana, draw, grass, skunk, weed, hash, ganja and spliff) is usually sold as either a dark brown lump of resin, or as bags of dried flower heads and seeds.

Heavy users tend to smoke cannabis more frequently after building up a tolerance to the drug. Current strains of the "skunk" form of cannabis are stronger than in previous decades, with more potent psychoactive effects.

Heavy use is usually defined as smoking or eating cannabis or marijuana on a nearly daily basis. Cannabis addiction usually means that you will be smoking lots of the substance every day. If you use cannabis on a regular basis, there are a range of serious long-term effects and risks, including:

Social withdrawal and lack of motivation,
Breathing problems such as asthma,
High blood pressure and heart problems,
Short-term memory loss,
Paranoia and anxiety,
Lung cancer,
Infertility,
Loss of coordination and concentration problems,
Some evidence of long-term cannabis use triggering psychosis and depression,
