Despite what efforts to legalize and popular culture wants you to believe, it's a verified and scientific undeniable fact that marijuana can be an addictive substance which can cause both acute and long-term physical and mental harm to users. Much like other drugs, anyone who has used marijuana for an extended period of time will become dependent on its effects and definately will encounter withdrawal symptoms when they initially stop using marijuana. Individuals today have very high grade marijuana at their disposal which wasn't the case 2 decades ago, making it a much larger problem.

Someone who uses marijuana regularly is significantly altering the way the brain functions, hence the brain can't just automatically readjust to normal operation once the person ceases using marijuana, this could take time. People actually detox from marijuana, like every other drug, as the drug is eliminated from the body and the body readjusts to function without marijuana. So marijuana detox can be a challenge for long-term users, because users will encounter withdrawal symptoms which are often difficult to endure. These symptoms may not be as physical as it is with heroin withdrawal for example, but marijuana detox and withdrawal may cause extreme depression and other mental symptoms for long-term users. For this reason relapse is so common for many who try and quit using marijuana by themselves. Marijuana detox services can be obtained at alcohol and drug detox and drug treatment programs in Ellisville to help people through this process so they don't relapse and can receive further treatment services after detox.
