Dear lybrate user. I can understand. Bang addiction comes under SUBSTANCE ABUSE AND ADDICTION. Deaddiction treatment is best suited for such addictions. Medically assisted drug detoxification or alcohol detoxification alone is ineffective as a treatment for addiction. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) recommends detoxification followed by both medication (where applicable) and behavioral therapy, followed by relapse prevention.

Marijuana, also known as pot or weed. Marijuana impairs learning, judgment, and memory, all vital attributes for adolescents. It can do lasting harm to the still-developing adolescent brain, disrupting normal development of the white matter that brain cells need to communicate with each other, thus hampering the user’s ability to reason. Most recently, researchers have found marijuana responsible for long-term changes in “working memory,” the brain structures critical to the ready recall of basic information, like telephone numbers, and to the solutions of everyday problems. It is likely that most teens will try smoking marijuana at some point in their adolescent years. If they are cautious and marijuana use does not become habitual, parents are unlikely to become aware of it. Treatment Individual treatment plans for clients address not just their drug involvement but the needs of the whole person. Marijuana is the drug of choice for most teens in treatment at Phoenix House. Treatment programs for teens provide individual, group, and family counseling and employ a broad range of research-proven clinical practices. Clinical services for teen marijuana users focus on reinforcing motivation and the desire to change, controlling drug cravings, and learning new ways of thinking, solving problems, and coping with difficult situations. Family involvement is a key dimension of treatment, dealing with critical family issues and problem behaviors, and enabling the family to give effective support to children in recovery.

Dear Pratik, Marijuana can precipitate a psychotic disorder. So you need to be cautious of hallucination, delusion and bizarre behaviour. In the long run, it can lead to amotivational syndrome. So please keep a watch on your job or career or family/relationship daily. Are you smoking nicotine cigarettes also? In that case, you need to watch out for more harmful effects.

Four years ago you were in your late adolescence and it is a very suggestive time for all such substances. I am glad you want to stop it now and hopefully forever. Marijuana has varied findings and claims, many of which are dubious, and some for medicinal uses that are authentic. But each person reacts differently to these substances and you definitely sound like someone who is not reacting well. These drugs can precipitate underlying anxiety, quite innocuously. In the meantime, you must go on a regular exercise program, eat well and sleep well. A personality course will certainly help. Do Yoga and meditation too. If the addiction is in any way covering up some deep-rooted pain, you need to work on that and clear that out of your system. I hope you are aware that people who are addicted are often spiritually bankrupt. It would be wise for you to touch base with your faith and turn to some spiritual exercises to reform your path on the right track. I am sure it will help. Do not delay any action by denial: a typical reaction of all addicts. It comes in the form of over-confidence, some arrogance, and denying the existence of any problem. Stopping weed is like any other habit like smoking and has to be done immediately, promptly, and abruptly. When quitting, you must take one day at a time. If you look too far ahead you will get discouraged and will give up. If you sit and count the number of days you have given up, that will also focus too much on achievement. You must focus on the here and now, on that day to be precise. After all quitting is not that easy due to many factors. So even if you fail one day, you must try and try again. Very few people succeed in their first attempt. Your persistence will eventually pay off. The urge to discontinue is hampered by many factors but the worst of them is the conditioning and the high you get from the weed. In fact these conditions can exist all through the day unlike other addictions. But your desire to want to stop is the most important factor. It is important to find out about the ill-effects of smoking weed to have a reason that alarms you about continuing in the habit. The information is really scary but true and you must remind yourself about this every day. Though there are contravening information percolating from researchers of various kinds expounding its benefits. You should start vigorous exercises, gradually increasing it over a period of time. Do deep breathing exercises every time you feel like smoking (try Yoga), and replace the oral urge with some healthy food substitute to satiate the need. You may also take hard candy or chewing gum. You may also join Smokers Anonymous in your city where the support is really extraordinary for like-minded people who are also in the same situation, even though you are into weed. Keep yourself occupied or engaged with interesting activities during the times when it is most tempting. Keep the company of non-smokers of weed and cigarettes for some time i.e. At least for the first 21 days. Above all announce it to everyone that you have quit smoking. Here’s a piece of very good advice: even if you accidentally/willfully take a refill, it is not the end of the world – you can start the cessation all over again. You must persevere with the best support until you defeat this addiction. Counseling is very useful in the initial stages and when temptations are at their highest.

This could be a symptom of cannabis related psychiatric disorder. cannabis can induce or precipitate a number of psychiatric conditions including psychotic disorders. many of these may need medications and obviously, complete abstinence from ganja/ bhang/ charas/ sulfa/ weed/ marijuana. If you can elaborate a little more on this fear I can suggest medicines that will bring rapid relief.
