In spite of 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 psychological injury to users. Like other drugs, somebody who has used marijuana for an extended time period can become hooked on its effects and can experience withdrawal symptoms if they abruptly stop using marijuana. Individuals today have very high grade marijuana available which wasn't the case 2 decades ago, which makes it a much bigger problem.

Somebody who uses marijuana on a regular basis is really changing the way the brain functions, therefore the brain can't just instantly return to normal function as soon as the individual stops using marijuana, this could take some 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 quite a challenge for habitual users, because users will encounter withdrawal symptoms which can be hard to endure. These symptoms may not be as physical as it is with heroin withdrawal for example, but marijuana detox and withdrawal may cause severe depression along with other psychological symptoms for chronic users. This is why relapse is so common for individuals who make an attempt to quit using marijuana by themselves. Marijuana detox services can be obtained at alcohol and drug detox and drug and alcohol rehab facilities in Stockton to help people through this process so they don't relapse and may receive further treatment services following detoxification.
