Marijuana Addition & Treatment

Otherwise known as cannabis, marijuana is a psychoactive drug that is used for both medical and recreational purposes. It is one of the most popular recreational drugs and can be smoked, vaporized, eaten in food, or even used as an extract.

According to the Marist College Institute for Public Opinion, 52% of Americans aged 18 or older have tried marijuana at some point in their lives and 44% of these individuals currently use it. Some who use the drug become so dependent on it that they turn to Victory Bay for marijuana addiction treatment.

A general change in perception
Heightened mood or “euphoria"
