frequently asked questions
Is weed addictive?
Regularly smoking weed can lead to the development of problem use, this is more commonly known as a marijuana use disorder. In severe cases an addiction can form. Recent statistics suggest that 30% of those who use marijuana may have some degree of usage disorder. It is generally agreed that that people who start using weed before the age of 18 are four to seven times more likely to develop a marijuana use disorder. Another factor that must be taken into consideration is the rising potency of marijuana, in the last 20 years, studies show that THC levels have increased by over 10% thus escalating concerns with the greater physical and psycholocigal impact regular usage can now have.
What are cannabis withdrawal symptoms?
Do you feel agitated, anxious or nauseous when you aren't smoking weed? Do you have trouble sleeping or start to experience strong cravings? These are all signs of withdrawal which signify your body’s possible physical and psychological dependence on weed. If you are feeling symptoms of withdrawal when you don't smoke, you're likely addicted to marijuana. Take this as a sign that you might need further help.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
We are rated 5/5 from all reviews.
RUSSELL B, 28 YEARS, HOXTON
I had been smoking weed every night to relax and unwind for over 10 years. I was terrified to even contemplate saying goodbye to my dependence but I finally admitted to myself that I had to get help. Mark at My Recovery Space is amazing! I had 12 sessions over 4 months. I have been weed free for over a month now and am loving life - I feel liberated and proud of myself for the first time in a long time - THANK YOU!
SOPHIE S, 34 YEARS, ISLINGTON
Eventually my entire life revolved around either using, thinking about using or in efforts to obtain cannabis. I prioritised it above everything else in my life and lost interest in all the things that were once important to me. Mark helped me see through the chaos and hopelessness and guided me to recovery.
RICH G, 50 YEARS, WATFORD
Debs is easy to talk to and connect with. She's really helped with building my self esteem and I don't feel judged at all by her. It's great to have someone to listen to my story whilst encouraging me to move forward.
