If someone you know and care about is suffering from what appears to be problematic cannabis use, there are many ways you can help them. If you’ve never experienced addiction yourself, it can seem illogical, but bear in mind that it is a real condition and not something people can just ‘snap out of’. While the sufferer may be causing you stress, try not to get angry or upset with them as this can make the situation worse.
Talk to them about recovery and suggest the idea of rehab. Reading through expert information together, instead of relying on your own knowledge, can be an effective way to encourage a loved one to seek treatment. You can also seek advice from an addiction specialist on the best way to help your loved one.
