my doctor prescribed me with cannabis as medical treatment for my anxiety problem. since this is my first time to take this drug, is there any possibilities that i can be addicted to it?

A lot of the time, people get phycologically addicted to marijuana, however there is nothing in it to make you addicted.

Its all about the dosage you take..
Please follow your physician advice, it is a risky one.

in rhode island a dr. have nothing to do with where you get marijuana, how much you use ect. You just get your card and grow it yourself or have someone grow it for you.

i'm sure that your doctor has also told you exactly how you should take the medicine right? it is very important that doctors should monitor their patients closely for these to avoid incidents like addiction.

marijuana can somehow have effects even if taken as prescribed. but still, prescriptions are safe for patients who actually have prescriptions for them so it's all up to you.

meriam Says...


On my own point of view. Its all up to you if you take it more often. It depends on how you take it and if the dosage are right as prescribe by your doctor.

grantjames Says...


maybe! but as prescribe it won't be addictive. of course doctor won't give you dosage that could possibly make you addictive. as long as you take it according to the prescription then there's is no reason to worried about.

Agree with you with the dosage by the doctor prescribing you. But for the first time it was a hard time adjusting it since you new to the effect of this one was new to you. Take it moderately and make sure you can handle the effect.

i think that this marijuana medication should be taken exactly how they are prescribed to avoid being addicted to it. it is also very important to talk to your doctor as soon as you feel like craving more on the same drug.

i have a friend who got addicted to prescription medication (marijuana). she often lied to his doctor just so she can continue to get the medication. too bad...

luisa Says...


yeah that's very common thing to do for a person who got addicted to marijuana medications. sometimes they would even go to different doctors so that they can stock prescriptions and can continue buying it.

mark Says...


nope, because each prescription has it's own dosage upon taking it. not unless you'll take it more than what is prescribed to you, then possibly you'll get addicted to it.

susie Says...


no i don't think so.. as you have mentioned, it was prescribed to you by your doctor. so meaning to say, he/she has given you the only amount of dosage that you needed to treat your medical condition.
