Understanding Cannabis
Cannabis use disorder is real
High potency vapes, concentrates and edibles can lead to daily use that is hard to stop. Many people use to manage anxiety or sleep, then find both worse without it.

Texas Products
Hemp THC, delta 8 and THC drinks in Texas
Sold legally does not mean mild.
Hemp derived THC products are sold in smoke shops and gas stations across Houston. They can be just as strong as marijuana.
Our guide to hemp THC in Texas explains what is in these products, and our gas station drug treatment page covers related products.
Recognizing the Pattern
Signs it is time to get help
- Using every day, or first thing in the morning
- Needing more to feel the same effect
- Irritability, poor sleep or loss of appetite when you stop
- Losing motivation at school or work
- Using to cope with anxiety, depression or ADHD symptoms
- Severe vomiting episodes after heavy use
Our Approach
How we treat cannabis use disorder
We look at what the cannabis is doing for you, including the anxiety or low mood it may be covering.
- Assessment of the anxiety, depression or ADHD that often sits underneath (we treat ADHD alongside other conditions but do not provide ADHD testing or ADHD medication)
- CBT, DBT skills and motivational work
- Psychiatric care for sleep and mood
- Young adult and family support
- Recovery mentoring
Safety First
When cannabis affects thinking
Paranoia after heavy use deserves a careful assessment.
