UC Berkeley Marijuana Treatment Programs

• UC Berkeley Marijuana Treatment Programs
  statistics have been growing in recent years.
  With a counterculture booming in the city,
  marijuana and alcohol use has been rampant in
  Berkeley. The Alameda County region saw 473
  overdose deaths between 2012 and 2014. In
  Berkeley, teens and adults alike are abusing
  prescription painkillers and heroin. One in every
  15 people will attempt heroin within 10 years.
• The legalization of marijuana has sparked an
  ongoing debate, with two extreme ideological
  camps emerging. Although marijuana is not a
  deadly drug, it does impair motor skills and
  judgment, leading to increased traffic accidents
  in states where it remains illegal. The debate
  over whether to legalize cannabis is ongoing, as
  the state of California has passed Proposition
  64, which legalized recreational use. Marijuana
  is still illegal on university property, in
  events, and approved academic research.

Alternative therapies for people with marijuana
addiction

• Marijuana support groups are an increasingly
  popular way to seek help for people struggling
  with addiction. The SMART Recovery program is one
  such method. This alternative to the 12-step
  model is based on ancient healing practices and
  can be an effective option for people suffering
  from marijuana addiction. Individuals in such
  support groups are encouraged to seek help for
  their addiction, rather than relying solely on
  the program's 12-step model.
• EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) involves
  tapping on certain points on the body that
  relates to meridians or acupressure points. This
  technique aims to balance and free blocked energy
  in the body. EFT practitioners encourage
  participants to verbalize the problem or
  emotional issue they're experiencing. The
  technique helps people cope with their cravings
  and address underlying issues, which may be the
  cause of their addiction.

Medical Cannabis in California

• The City of Berkeley, California, has been a
  trailblazer when it comes to marijuana use. In
  1979, Berkeley residents passed Marijuana
  Initiative II, which required police to give
  marijuana use the lowest priority in the city.
  However, the city was unable to overturn the
  prohibitions in place for the drug. In response,
  Berkeley approved the medical marijuana program.
  It has remained on the cutting-edge of the legal
  cannabis industry ever since.
• The Berkeley City Council recently approved an
  ordinance allowing for on-site consumption in
  medical cannabis dispensaries. However, before
  these dispensaries can open, the city must amend
  the smoke-free laws to allow them to operate
  legally. Cannabis retailers will also need to
  obtain a use permit from the city. But what is
  the process for opening a Berkeley Medical
  Cannabis Dispensary? Here's a quick overview of
  the process.

Health Risks of Marijuana use

• A recent survey found that three-fifths of
  respondents believed marijuana causes health
  risks, while one-fourth were unsure. The
  most-reported health risks are related to lung
  cancer, memory loss, and respiratory diseases.
  These effects increased with frequency and a
  person's age, with the most common risks seen
  among teenagers. While the study did not directly
  prove any link between marijuana and cancer, it
  did demonstrate a link between marijuana use and
  lower birth weight in babies.
• While most marijuana users are aware of the
  dangers of cannabis, many people don't realize
  that pot use can affect a baby's brain while it
  is developing. THC, the active ingredient in
  marijuana, enters the fetal brain through the
  mother's bloodstream. Research from Colorado
  Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System shows
  that marijuana users have a 50 greater chance of
  having low birth weight babies than women who
  don't use marijuana.
