Cannabis

Smoking weed can make everything seem like it's in slow motion as well as making you feel really chilled. But how does it do this? Watch the video above for more information.

Not all drugs are addictive, but some drug users do develop a dependence. People who are dealing with addiction usually:

• Feel the need for the drug regularly. 
• Have a constant supply of it.
• Have failed to stop using.
• Will do things they normally wouldn't do (such as stealing).

Sometimes people who have a problem don’t think they have or refuse to believe that they are addicted or dependent. So if you think your friend has a problem and you want to help them, think about how you're going to approach it and what you’re going to say.  It could be a sensitive subject for them and you don’t what to looking like you’re nagging them. They may not listen to you at first but don’t let this put you off.  The best thing that you can do is to be there for them, to support and encourage them to change.

With the proper help and support, many drug users are able to overcome their drug use before any serious harm has been done to them, or their family and friends.
