Getting Sucked In?

Everyone’s doing it, so it must be ok, right?

The truth is that fewer people are smoking pot than you might think – only one in three students from grades 7-11 smokes weed, and the numbers have gone down for the past couple of years.

Still, many of the people who are smoking weed are at risk of smoking A LOT!

One of the biggest myths about marijuana is that it’s not habit-forming.

Sure, someone who’s addicted to weed might not look like an “addict” from a Hollywood movie, but the fact is that for some, the psychological and emotional dependence on marijuana is very real.

Being addicted to weed is really bad for your body, but it’s even worse for your mind.

It can rob you of the motivation that helps you get up in the morning.

As a person becomes more and more sucked into the habit, everything suffers- school, friends, family, relationships and self-esteem.

A lot of young people tell themselves that they will eventually stop and get serious about university, finding that special someone and eventually even starting a family, but quitting is hard.

Marijuana withdrawal has symptoms you can feel in your body and experience in your mind, from sleeplessness and anxiety, to irritability and headaches.
