Marijuana Addiction Treatment
In recent years, marijuana has grown in popularity in the medical field as a valid treatment
alternative to standard pharmacy-based medications. Marijuana has also become legalized in
many states to offer individuals and companies to offer alternative or complementary health
care services to those that suffer from pain, anxiety, arthritis, seizures, headaches, poor
appetite and many other medical conditions.
Not too long ago, marijuana was considered strictly a recreational drug, used for getting
“high” and hanging out to relax. Now, marijuana has taken a positive turn, minus the mind-
altering affects, in becoming a new valid medication treatment therapy.
But what about individuals who are not using the ‘new-age ‘marijuana products, but the
home-grown variety with all the bells and whistles of the past (in which plants contain
THC)? Those who wake up in the morning and need a ‘toke’ to get the day started and
continue to smoke throughout the day.
