Is Treatment Available for Marijuana Use Disorder?

There are no medications that have been shown effective currently available to treat marijuana use disorder, but treatment options are available, with various approaches tailored to individual needs.

Behavioral therapies, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy and motivational enhancement therapy, have been found to be effective in helping individuals reduce their marijuana use and address underlying issues contributing to their substance use.

Additionally, support groups and counseling can provide valuable resources and guidance for those seeking to overcome marijuana use disorder. It is essential for individuals struggling with marijuana use disorder to seek help from qualified healthcare professionals, such as those at Renew health who can develop a comprehensive treatment plan according to their specific situation and goals for recovery.

What is Marijuana Use Disorder?

Marijuana use disorder is characterized by a range of symptoms and signs that indicate problematic cannabis use. These signs may include things such as:

  • an increased tolerance to the drug
  • withdrawal symptoms when not using marijuana
  • unsuccessful attempts to cut down or control use
  • spending a significant amount of time obtaining or using the drug, neglecting important social, occupational, or recreational activities due to marijuana use
  • continued use despite experiencing negative consequences
  • and cravings or strong urges to use marijuana.


If an individual exhibits several of these signs, it may indicate the presence of marijuana use disorder, and seeking professional help is recommended for proper assessment and treatment.

How Marijuana Use Affects the Body and Brain

Marijuana use can have varying effects on the body and brain due to its active chemical compound, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). When marijuana is consumed, THC enters the bloodstream and travels to the brain, where it binds to cannabinoid receptors. This interaction can lead to a range of short-term effects such as altered sensory perception, impaired coordination, and memory issues. Marijuana use can also affect other parts of the body by increasing heart rate, causing bloodshot eyes, and impacting lung health when smoked.

Additionally, regular or heavy marijuana use has been associated with potential long-term effects on cognitive function and mental health. Studies suggest that prolonged use may impact brain development in adolescents and young adults, particularly in areas related to memory, learning, and impulse control.

What are the Long-Term Effects of Marijuana Use?

Long-term marijuana use can have various effects on individuals, impacting different aspects of their health and well-being. Chronic use of marijuana has been associated with cognitive impairments, such as memory loss, attention issues, and decreased problem-solving skills.

Additionally, prolonged use may lead to respiratory problems due to the inhalation of smoke containing harmful toxins. Furthermore, long-term marijuana use has been linked to an increased risk of mental health disorders, such as anxiety, depression, and psychosis.

Is There Such a Thing as Marijuana Overdose?

While marijuana overdose is rare and typically not fatal, it is possible to consume too much cannabis, leading to unpleasant symptoms such as anxiety, paranoia, rapid heart rate, and nausea.

The effects of consuming a large amount of marijuana can vary depending on factors such as the individual’s tolerance level, the potency of the product, and the method of consumption.

If someone experiences severe discomfort or adverse reactions after consuming marijuana, seeking medical attention is recommended to ensure their well-being.
