How Hypnosis is Helping People Quit Smoking Cannabis

Updated: Apr 15

Cannabis is one of the most commonly used drugs in the world. Illegal or not, it has a high potential for addiction and can cause a wide range of mental health problems.


Cannabis addiction, or marijuana addiction, is a condition that is characterized by compulsive use of cannabis, despite the negative consequences. Cannabis addiction has been found to be a factor in mental health disorders such as depression and anxiety. Cannabis dependency can be caused by any number of factors and it can be difficult to identify because the symptoms are not always obvious.




What are the Signs of Cannabis Addiction?


The signs of cannabis addiction are not always clear. It can be hard to tell if someone is addicted to cannabis or not. But there are a few signs that can indicate the addiction.


Some of the most common signs of cannabis addiction include:


- Restlessness and irritability when they cannot smoke weed


- The person will smoke more and more weed every day, even if they have adverse effects on their health


- They will try to hide the amount of weed they smoke from other people in order to keep it a secret


- Smoking weed is the only way they can cope with stress, anxiety, or depression



Marijuana: How Does It Affect the Brain?


Cannabis is a psychoactive drug that has been used for centuries for recreational and medicinal purposes. It contains a chemical called tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) which affects the brain and central nervous system.


Long-term cannabis use can lead to addiction and other negative effects on memory, attention span, decision-making skills, and learning abilities. The THC in cannabis binds to receptors in the brain which can lead to addiction when abused.


Cannabis' main compound, THC, interacts with and activates cannabinoid receptors in the brain, which play a crucial role in learning, memory, and reward processing. A chemical in the brain known as dopamine, which is often linked to positive emotions, is also released as a result. Those who use heroin and cocaine also experience a rise in dopamine.





Clinical Hypnosis is a popular alternative treatment for various types of addiction, including cannabis addiction.


Clinical Hypnosis for cannabis addiction is a powerful tool for treatment. It is an effective way to help people get past the cognitive dissonance that prevents them from quitting.


Hypnosis has been used to treat addiction for decades. It is a popular and effective way to break old habits and create new ones. The term “hypnosis” comes from the Greek word “hypnos” which means sleep. Hypnosis is a natural state of mind that everyone experiences at some point in their day, often without even knowing it. It is a state of deep relaxation where you are more open to suggestions.


Hypnosis is a trance-like state that can be achieved with the help of a well-trained Clinical Hypnotist. It helps the person to be more aware and focused on the present moment without being distracted by thoughts or feelings from the past or worries about what might happen in the future.


The benefits of hypnosis for cannabis addiction are:


-It helps people to manage their cravings for cannabis and stay away from it as much as possible.


-It helps people to identify triggers that make them want to smoke cannabis, such as certain places, people, or situations.


-It provides an opportunity for smokers to reflect on their smoking habits and their effects on their life and health


Clinical Hypnosis can be a great way to cut ties with Cannabis. As a Certified Hypnotist, I specialize in helping people with the types of issues mentioned above, as well as many other conditions.
