Problems Cannabis is not physically addictive but this does not mean that people who use the drug won’t experience problems. Cannabis users can develop an intense psychological dependence on the drug. Users feel they cannot cope a day without it and other interests fall by the way side. Cannabis is often mixed with tobacco which is a very addictive drug. When users try to stop smoking cannabis they may misinterpret nicotine withdrawals as withdrawal symptoms from cannabis.

Cannabis use has been strongly linked with mental health problems like schizophrenia and psychosis but at the moment the exact link is still unclear. There is also the suggestion that cannabis does produce temporary psychotic symptoms in people that have never experienced mental health problems before. What is clear is that cannabis use will make existing mental health problems worse and provoke mental illness in those who are susceptible.
