Is Marijuana addictive?
Answered By Editor
Marijuana is not thought of as one of the
more addictive drugs. So, why is it so
commonly abused? Marijuana contains the
chemical THC which is a mood and mind
altering drug. THC occurs naturally in
marijuana plants, and when taken into the
body it causes a 'high' feeling in the brain.
Although it can be ingested in the form of
various foods, Marijuana is most commonly
smoked. It has not been scientifically
proven that Marijuana or THC is addictive.
However, when ingested over extended periods
of time in a habitual manner, a person can
develop a dependence on Marijuana.
