Marijuana potency has increased dramatically over the past two decades, with average THC concentrations rising from ~4% in the 1990s to over 15–20% in today’s products, with concentrates exceeding 80%. This makes modern marijuana significantly more addictive than what previous generations used.
Cannabis use disorder affects approximately 10% of regular users, and that number rises to ~17% for those who begin using in adolescence. In New Hampshire, marijuana is the second most commonly used substance after alcohol, with use rates continuing to climb.
These aren’t just statistics — they represent families in Salem, Derry, Nashua, Manchester, and across the region who need access to compassionate, evidence-based treatment for marijuana addiction.

One of the biggest barriers to marijuana recovery is minimization — from the user and those around them. “It’s just weed” is a dangerous misconception. Today’s marijuana is far more potent than previous decades, and cannabis use disorder is a recognized clinical condition with real consequences for motivation, cognition, relationships, and mental health.
Understand that marijuana addiction is a real medical condition, not a lack of willpower. Learn how THC affects the brain’s reward system, how tolerance builds over time, and why someone who “only smokes weed” can still develop a serious dependency that disrupts their life.
There’s a difference between supporting someone and enabling their behavior. Stop minimizing their use, providing money that funds it, or excusing their declining motivation and responsibilities. Express concern honestly and specifically about what you’ve observed.
Communicate clear limits: “I love you, and I won’t participate in behaviors that support your addiction.” Follow through consistently. Boundaries protect your wellbeing and can motivate change.
Choose a calm, private time. Use “I” statements: “I’ve noticed changes in you and I’m concerned” rather than “You have a problem.” Be specific about behaviors you’ve observed — withdrawal from activities, memory issues, changes in motivation. Offer to call Trailhead together.
Our family support program is open to all family members 18+, past and present clients. We offer individual family therapy sessions and monthly Zoom education groups covering codependency, family systems, and substance use education.
