Marijuana is legal in California, but that doesn’t mean that some people might abuse it --including in Chula Vista.
Although marijuana has been legalized in some capacity in more than half of the states in the United States, there is still the possibility that using it could lead to abuse. Marijuana is not physically addictive, nor can a person become physically dependent on it, but behavior and habits make a huge difference. It is just as easy to become mentally addicted to marijuana as it is anything else, especially if it is used as an escape or is used during the teenage years of someone’s life. It is important to recognize the signs of marijuana abuse so they can be addressed.

Chula Vista stems back thousands of years, believe it or not. Of course, the city itself was incorporated more recently, but people have occupied the land here for thousands of years. In more recent history, the Spanish acquired this land in 1795, although they discovered it in 1542. It became part of the United States when California did in 1847. Nowadays, more than 250,000 people live in Chula Vista, due in part to the boom after the Second World War.
Since marijuana is legal in California, it can also be found in Chula Vista. With it comes some cases of marijuana abuse.
Signs of someone abusing marijuana include the fact that their tolerance has increased noticeably. People who smoke (or consume in some other way) large amounts of marijuana on a consistent basis end up with a much higher tolerance, meaning they will need more to achieve the same effects. People with a marijuana problem may also begin canceling activities or plans in order to get high more and more often.
If these signs are noticeable in someone you love, they should seek treatment. Treatment for marijuana abuse does not involve medication, but rather includes cognitive behavioral therapy and other forms of treatment for behavioral changes.
