Despite what efforts to legalize and popular culture would lead you to think, it is a proven and conclusive indisputable fact that marijuana is an addictive drug which can cause both short and long-term physical and psychological injury to users. Like other substances, someone who has used marijuana for an extended period of time can become addicted to its effects and definately will encounter withdrawal symptoms whenever they abruptly quit using marijuana. Users today have extremely high grade marijuana available which wasn't true 10-20 years ago, which makes it an even larger issue.

Somebody who uses marijuana often is really altering how the brain functions, so the brain can't just automatically return to normal function when the person ceases using marijuana, this will take time. People actually detox from marijuana, like every other drug, as marijuana is eliminated from your body and the body readjusts to normal operation without marijuana. So marijuana detox can be quite a challenge for long-term users, because users will experience withdrawal symptoms which can be challenging to endure. These symptoms may not be as physical as it is with heroin withdrawal for instance, but marijuana detox and withdrawal may cause extreme depression and other mental symptoms for long-term users. That is why relapse is so common for those who attempt to cease using marijuana on their own. Marijuana detox services are available at alcohol and drug detoxification and alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities in Truesdale to help individuals through this process so that they don't relapse and may obtain further rehabilitation services following detox.
