Risks of Chronic Marijuana Use
Chronic marijuana use can lead to significant adverse effects on brain health and development. Substances like THC can interfere with dopamine and noradrenaline production, leading to chronic inflammation and brain injury. Many individuals who seek help for cognitive issues often struggle to let go of marijuana, despite being informed that their long-term use may result in a 'crappy life' for a few months during the recovery phase. The emotional attachment to the substance complicates recovery, highlighting the need for understanding its detrimental effects.
