THC is the one that actually has that kind of almost psychedelic effect...through that research we discovered a system that is super important for our well-being that nobody knew about.
Marijuana might be legal in many places now, but that doesn't mean it's harmless. In this episode of Addiction Unlimited, Angela Pugh pulls back the curtain on the often-overlooked issue of marijuana addiction. As weed becomes more potent, more people find themselves struggling with dependency, yet it doesn't always come with the dramatic 'rock bottom' moments we associate with other substances. This can make recognizing the problem tricky.
Angela tackles the science behind marijuana addiction, explaining how increased THC levels are leading to higher addiction rates. She also breaks down the role of dopamine in this process and why some users might not even realize they're hooked until it's too late. Her no-nonsense style ensures you'll get clear, actionable advice on how to spot the signs of addiction and what steps to take towards recovery. But it's not just about the science.
Angela delves into the social impacts of marijuana use, discussing how cultural norms haven't quite caught up with the realities of today's stronger weed. She shares stories of individuals who have faced the slow decline of marijuana addiction, often without major medical or legal problems to signal an issue. Whether you're personally affected by marijuana addiction or know someone who is, this episode offers a wealth of insights and practical advice.
Angela's straightforward approach and deep understanding make it a must-listen for anyone looking to better understand the complexities of marijuana addiction and recovery.
