Tolerance. <\/strong>Remember the first few times you smoked marijuana? It just took you a few puffs in order to feel its effects. However, the more you take and the more frequent you do, you discover that you take more and more in to feel the same effects as before. This means you have built tolerance to the drug.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Withdrawal.\u00a0<\/strong>With addiction comes withdrawal. So if you feel effects when you don&#8217;t smoke weed, then you&#8217;re probably addicted. These withdrawal effects include: insomnia, loss of appetite, restlessness, and anxiety.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Losing control.\u00a0<\/strong>Maybe you have tried to cut back many times before, made deals with yourself and other people about you stopping your use. However, nothing worked. You may even tried to tell yourself to just smoke a certain amount, but also fail at that.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Preoccupied with getting high.\u00a0<\/strong>If you are so focused and intent on getting the drug and getting high, then you&#8217;re probably addicted. You may also lose interest doing other things such as hobbies or sports, as most of your time is spent getting high.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Friends with fellow users.\u00a0<\/strong>Another sign of marijuana addiction is if you are surrounded with friends who are also smoking weed as you. You don&#8217;t spend as much time anymore with other friends who don&#8217;t do weed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>6. Using weed to unwind.\u00a0<\/strong>If you find yourself resorting to week to \u00a0unwind or relax after a busy day, that could also be a sign of addiction. However, contrary to popular belief, marijuana doesn&#8217;t really help you relax, but actually promote increase in violent crimes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>7. Irresponsible behavior.\u00a0<\/strong>Smoking weed may have also interrupted your ability to fulfill your responsibilities. You may not be performing well in school or at work, causing you to get into trouble, to be expelled, or fired.<\/p>\n<p><strong>8. Choosing to get high despite negative consequences.\u00a0<\/strong>You may have known you&#8217;ll get intro trouble many times but still chose to use marijuana. Despite legal problems, danger, conflict with family, or other negative effects, nothing was able to stop you from using.<\/p>\n<p><strong>9. Using weed to escape.\u00a0<\/strong>If you find yourself resorting to smoking weed as a way to cope with problems or deal with difficult situations, chances are you might be already addicted to marijuana.<\/p>\n<p><strong>10. Failed attempts to cut down.\u00a0<\/strong>You may have tried to stop many times before, or even just cut back on your marijuana use.
