Do you have a problem with marijuana addiction? 

Is it hard to imagine life without being high?

Are you struggling to quit using cannabis?

MA has a solution:
A simple program based on one addict helping another.

“Our groups have found a common solution to a common problem — something that had been impossible for each individual member to accomplish on their own.” -Life with Hope

Marijuana Anonymous is a free peer-support program focused entirely on our shared problem with marijuana or cannabis addiction. Marijuana Anonymous uses the basic 12 Steps, founded by Alcoholics Anonymous, because it has been proven that the 12-Step recovery program works. 

Members of MA collectively support each other as peers, sponsors, and friends.  MA has a book called Life with Hope and a companion 12-Step workbook, along with other publications. We use the tools of the MA program to help free us of our addictive tendencies and physical dependence on the substance that has caused damage in our lives.

Our program is voluntary. The only thing you need to begin participating is a desire to stop using cannabis / marijuana. Marijuana Anonymous meetings are free and can be attended all over the world virtually and by phone, with in-person meetings available in some areas as well. 

Who Identifies as a Marijuana Addict?

All types of people find that they are overusing cannabis to the point where it is no longer fun or helpful. In fact, many of us found marijuana seriously harmed the important relationships and goals in our lives. The members of Marijuana Anonymous have developed 12 Questions for you to ask yourself. These questions can help you decide if you are addicted to marijuana.
