Marijuana is often used as a pain-reliever and people may first take it for entertainment in a group but if unchecked, it can become an addiction. Marijuana is also called cannabis, or sometimes referred to as weed or pot. However long term like with most drugs the fun of it starts to wear off.Some people who are addicted to marijuana even need professional rehabilitation, in fact over 500,000 Americans go to rehab for marijuana addiction every year. Going to a rehab centre helps with round-the-clock monitoring and a professional understanding of your condition.Hypnosis can be a powerful tool for curing marijuana addiction. Hypnosis can be tried either with a clinical psychiatrist or at home with a self-hypnosis CD. A self hypnosis tape, CD or mp3 provides exactly the same thing and is much cheaper than going to an expensive therapist.Hypnosis works by sending direct messages for lifestyle changes to the subconscious. The subconscious is more malleable than the analytical mind and yet, is more potent when it comes to changing a person's habits. It does not interfere with your basic moral fibre though.Whether you use self-hypnosis with a CD or visit a therapist, it works by putting you in a trance, this is just a state of deep relaxation. Messages are sent to your subconscious only after you are completely relaxed, with your subconscious alert to any suggestions. Music with certain frequencies to heighten and sustain your trance is also used. Sometimes you may fall asleep during a hypnosis session. After putting you through the trance and giving your subliminal messages, the therapist orCD will wake you up.Hypnosis must be practiced on a daily basis for results. If you are planning to visit a therapist he may schedule your sessions on alternate days or suggest some other package depending upon your requirements. Using a CD with programmed subliminal messages for getting rid of marijuana addiction can be used thrice in a day. If you fear any problems like epileptic seizures you must consult your doctor before beginning a session. Though, so far, no such problems have been reported with self-hypnosis CDs. Also, you must never use a self-hypnosis CD while driving or operating a machine.Marijuana withdrawal symptoms can range from physical tension and irritability to mood swings, depression and complete loss of appetite. Hypnosis can compliment any treatment for de-addiction and is helpful in most cases.Hypnosis should always be used in conjunction with exercise, family support, commitment to give up the addiction and an effective support network. Hypnosis will often make the healing process more effective and speed up the results.Success with hypnosis will vary depending on your susceptibility, some will go deeper into trance than others and are more susceptible to suggestion, but many will experience a significant effect. Obviously will power will still be required. A mp3 download or CD wont cost you much more than a bag of dope and can be used as many times as you like.
