Proposition 64 is the ballot that won the legalization of recreational marijuana in California. In December 2017, regulatory framework was established for cannabis sales in the City of Los Angeles. This clears the way for medical marijuana dispensaries to start selling it to the city’s recreational users.
L.A. took its time issuing marijuana sales regulations for all adults over 21 years old. The City of Los Angeles approved around two dozen cannabis businesses to sale the drug for recreational use on January 13. Three of them have received California’s final approval stamp. Drug addiction experts suggest legalization will lead to a major increase in marijuana addicts in Los Angeles.
There are three commonly used types of treatment for marijuana addiction in Los Angeles. Cognitive-behavioral therapy is a psychotherapy process that helps you find strategies that help identify problematic behaviors and correct them. Contingency management is a therapeutic approach that involves frequently monitoring the behaviors, and rewarding and or taking away rewards, based on behavior occurrences.
Motivational enhancement therapy is an intervention program that’s systematic. It was designed to encourage internal change rapidly. Instead of treating the marijuana addict, it simply mobilizes the internal resources, so the person can completely change through engaging cannabis drug treatment. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has yet to approve meds to treat marijuana addiction.
