Am I addicted to cannabis?
A lot of people wonder whether they can get addicted to weed at all; you can, and it tends to build gradually. Do you reach for weed or hash more often than you mean to? Or have you noticed that you need it to unwind, to sleep, or to switch off from the daily grind? There is no single line that decides how much weed is too much as it depends on the part it plays in your life.
The symptoms of cannabis addiction are not always obvious, and the early signs can be easy to explain away. That is why it may be worth the few minutes this anonymous self-assessment takes.
You either do not use cannabis or have tried it once or twice. If you do use, you do so consciously and in moderation. Worried about someone close to you? You are welcome to contact us as well.
You may use cannabis now and then, for example in social settings or to unwind, and you can comfortably go without it. This self-assessment can be a moment to pause and think about your use, because a cannabis problem often creeps in slowly. If you still have doubts about how much of a hold it has, or you are worried about someone else, we are here for you whatever your question.
Cannabis may seem harmless, as it is widely available and often treated as a soft drug. Using regularly, however, can affect your mood, motivation and how you function day to day, often before you notice it.
Sometimes there is more behind the use: stress, boredom, or wanting to escape difficult feelings. That is how a pattern can take hold that becomes harder to break.
Are you smoking weed more often, or feeling that you need it to feel okay? Do not wait for things to get worse. We will listen and give you the advice you need right now.
Has ‘wanting to use’ quietly turned into ‘having to use’? Does cannabis weigh on you every day? Only you know the answers.
Our cannabis self-assessment test is not here to judge. We know how hard it is to admit that you cannot go on like this. Asking for help can feel like a huge step. But we know from experience that this first step can be the start of a life without addiction. We can help you take it. You can reach us on 040-303 5023 or fill in the contact form at the bottom of the page. We will get back to you soon.
Maybe cannabis has become a fixed part of your day, and going a single day without feels out of reach. Maybe the use brings problems you can no longer ignore, or a sense of shame you carry quietly. Only you know how true that is.
With weed addiction, your own brain works against you: it convinces you there is no problem and does everything it can to pull you back to smoking. That is why willpower alone is often not enough to break the pattern, even when the harm to body and mind is serious.
Do you know, deep down, that this cannot continue? Then do not wait any longer. We listen, and we give you the advice you need right now.
We are here to talk
The result of this cannabis self-assessment is not an official diagnosis, but it can be a starting point for a conversation about your cannabis use. If the outcome worries you or raises any questions, we are here to talk, without judgement. We listen, and together we look at what you need and at what might be a deeper cause for your use. You can reach us on 040-303 5023 or fill in the contact form at the bottom of the page.
Feel free to share any thoughts you have about cannabis with us, whether they relate to your own habits or to someone close to you.
Treatment when cannabis use becomes a problem
Does the self-assessment suggest that your cannabis use may be problematic? We are here to help you get a clearer picture of your situation and to give you personal advice on your next step. Putting your worries into words, however small they seem, may help keep things from getting worse.
Please know that you can also call us with any questions about your cannabis use, even ones that feel small or not worth mentioning. You do not need a reason or a result; if you would simply like to talk things through, you are welcome to get in touch.
