Your First Step to Change

Let's Get Started

The first step of your journey is to figure out if you need or want to change.

Try to answer the following Yes/No questions:

During the last 6 months...

1. Have you used (smoked, ingested, etc.) marijuana?	Yes	No
2. Have you felt that you use too much marijuana?	Yes	No
3. Have you tried to cut down or quit using marijuana?	Yes	No
4. Have you ever felt that you have a problem with your marijuana use?	Yes	No

If you answered Yes to one or more of these questions, you may want to consider looking more closely at your use. Many people are not aware of all the ways that marijuana can affect their lives. The following information and exercises will help you to identify difficulties you might be facing. Your responses to the questions in this toolkit might alert you to problems that you have not thought about before.
