Week 2- Addiction essay

Marijuana addiction causes


We all live in a society that is daily bombarded by drugs and other types of addictions. I have a boy friend who was the one that always advised me that I should take the best decisions in my life. One day we went to a party, and his friends offered him some of the marijuana drug. At the beginning he refused it, but after a few minutes of a strongly insistence, he decided to try it. He began smoking by day one cigarette of marijuana, but this quantity increased during the days until he became an addict to marijuana. Nowadays these cases are more common daily in our society. The addicts to this kind of substances think that they have more power than then, but unfortunately it is the contrary because by the time they choose the option of trying it; their body start demanding for more of the same. Marijuana addiction is caused by psychological, professional, and social reasons.

Marijuana addiction is caused by psychological reasons. People can suffer from low self- esteem because they do not agree or feel well with the body they have, or because their parents, friends, or society discriminate them. The addict begins to see in this drug the way to escape from the reality and depression. Moreover, if someone has a curious personality, he or she will be more vulnerable to experiment “the magic” of this drug. One who has been suffering of mental illnesses is also very susceptible to get involve in the marijuana addiction because of his or her lower mental capacity to distinguish the difference between what is good or bad, so this person can be tricked by a mindful marihuana addict to engage in this addiction too. Furthermore, somebody who had experienced a traumatic event in his or her life may seek for refuge in the marijuana drug. That’s why marijuana is originated by psychological motives.

This common addiction is also caused by professional reasons. The stress caused by works and other duties required by several jobs and universities influence people to experience some peaceful feelings, being drugs the easier way to achieve this stillness. Those persons who are unemployed or flunked their studies haven’t had the way to success, so they try to erase the situation with the use of marijuana. Also some jobs demand strong or physical labors, and marijuana becomes their daily substance for energy increase. That’s how professional reasons caused marijuana addiction.

Addicts to the marijuana drug are influenced by social reasons. The peer pressure is one of the most important social aspects. When someone is harassed by his or her friends to use this harmful drug; even though this person begins to refuse it, they keep on insisting or they just start putting him or her aside until he or she accept use ones more the drug. It is common to see this example in teenagers because they pretend they are cool by following others. Many addicts begin smoking or using this drug because they are never being involve in recreational activities or in any kind of sports. They carry a boring life, so the lack of positive entertainment guides them into this negative practice which is daily offered to us in the streets. Regrettably, addicts find in the marijuana drug the best relaxing and pleasurable activity. These are some of the social reasons that make many people become addicted to the marijuana drug.

Our superficial world presents to the people the worst things in a wonderful and amazing form. Drugs are constantly offered to us in everywhere even in our education institutions. People and mainly the young community do not have to be carried away by these kinds of illusions and fantasies. These types of harmful “entertainment” will guide you directly to the death with a path full of many trouble and dangerous situations. The decision is in your hand!
