Despite what efforts to legalize and popular culture wants you to believe, it's a proven and conclusive fact that marijuana is definitely an addictive substance which may cause both short and long-term physical and mental harm to users. Like other drugs, a person who has used marijuana for an extended time period will become addicted to its effects and definately will experience withdrawal symptoms if they initially quit using marijuana. Individuals today have extremely high grade marijuana at their disposal which wasn't true 10-20 years ago, which makes it an even larger issue.

Somebody that uses marijuana on a regular basis is significantly altering how the brain functions, so the brain can't just automatically readjust to normal function as soon as the person stops using marijuana, this can take some time. Individuals 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 experience withdrawal symptoms which can be tough to endure. These symptoms might not be as physical as it is with heroin withdrawal by way of example, but marijuana detox and withdrawal can cause severe depression as well as other psychological symptoms for long-term users. This is the reason relapse is so common for those who attempt to quit using marijuana on their own. Marijuana detox services are offered at drug and alcohol detox and drug rehab centers in Mountain Iron to help people through this process so they don't relapse and may obtain further treatment services following detoxification.
