Cannabis use disorder is a real, clinically recognized condition — and with today’s marijuana being dramatically more potent than in previous decades, the risk of developing dependence is higher than ever. Recognizing the signs is the first step toward getting help.
Mild In its early stages, cannabis use disorder may look like using more marijuana or more often than intended, making unsuccessful attempts to cut back, or spending significant time obtaining, using, or recovering from marijuana. You might notice increasing cognitive fog, difficulty concentrating, or that casual use has quietly become a daily habit.
Moderate As the disorder progresses, the signs become harder to dismiss as “just weed.” Loss of motivation and declining performance at work, school, or home is common. Relationships suffer. You may find yourself depending on marijuana to fall asleep, manage stress, or feel normal, or giving up activities you once enjoyed in favor of getting high.
Severe At this stage, the psychological grip is powerful. Tolerance builds — needing stronger strains, concentrates, or edibles to feel the same effects. Withdrawal symptoms appear when you stop: irritability, insomnia, loss of appetite, restlessness, and intense cravings. Use continues despite anxiety, depression, or other mental health consequences, and quitting on your own feels impossible.
If you or a loved one is experiencing any of these signs at any severity level, help is available. Approximately 10% of people who use marijuana develop cannabis use disorder — and recovery begins with a single step.
Most clients begin treatment within 24–48 hours. Call now for a free, confidential consultation.

Supporting someone through marijuana addiction can be complicated — especially when society says it’s “just weed.” These evidence-based steps can help you take care of both yourself and your loved one.
Marijuana addiction is a medical condition that changes brain chemistry — not a lack of willpower. Despite cultural minimization, cannabis use disorder is recognized by every major medical organization. Understanding this helps you respond with compassion rather than frustration.
Communicate limits with compassion: “I love you, and I won’t participate in behaviors that support your addiction.” Follow through consistently.
Covering for their behavior, making excuses, or minimizing their use as “just marijuana” delays the moment they recognize they need help. Let natural consequences unfold.
Trailhead offers individual family therapy sessions and monthly Zoom education groups covering codependency, family systems, and substance use education. Open to family members 18+.
Your wellbeing matters. Consider therapy for yourself, join a support group like Nar-Anon or Al-Anon, and maintain your own routines and social connections.
Use “I” statements: “I’m worried about you” rather than “You have a problem.” Choose a calm, sober moment and offer specific help rather than ultimatums. Avoid the debate about whether marijuana “is really addictive” — focus on the impact you’ve observed.
Our family support program is open to all family members 18+, past and present clients.
