Addiction and Substance abuse... Counselling session and therapy Helps.. Contact us at 9872880634 The apparent reason for starting is people around using it, so it becomes normal or even cool to do it. Underlying reason is emotional disturbance, many a times resulting from absent father figure. There's an emptiness or a void inside that every addict is trying to fill. If the void wasn't there, the urge to smoke will not arise. It works on the mind and the consciousness over a period of time. Imagine the conscious mind to be 10% of this big sphere we operate in, rest is unconscious or subconscious, which are deep buried memories, thoughts, feelings. If they were buried, it's because individual will not be able to deal with them. Now when it opens up, it overwhelms, can lead to obsessive and excessive thoughts, most times negative, psychotic thoughts disconnected from reality, hallucinations, unsocial thoughts etc. Weed creates mental dependence. So a level of awareness is required in the user to escape its clutches. Weed users need long time support to fill and heal their emotional void.
