Signs Of Drug Abuse and Drug Addiction- Cannabis, Marijuana, Hash Abuse

Signs of Marijuana Abuse

Marijuana came to represent love and peace in the 60s and has never quite lost that image but this is far from the truth.

Anyone who uses marijuana regularly is more likely to engage in aggressive and violent behavior, cause trouble at school and destroy property. Violence at a global level is connected with marijuana trafficking. In California, Mexican drug trafficking organizations, with high-powered assault weapons, control the marijuana fields, not peace-loving flower children with their beads.

Criminal groups operating from Mexico promote their version of love and peace through torture, executions and other acts of violence.

Marijuana is not harmless, contrary to common misconception.

The use of marijuana can lead to health, safety, learning and social problems and abuse of other harmful drugs. Marijuana is more potent than it used to be, increasing the problems of marijuana addiction.
