Despite what initiatives to legalize and popular culture wants you to think, it's a verified and scientific fact that marijuana can be an addictive substance which can bring about both short and long-term physical and mental injury to users. Like other drugs, someone who has used marijuana for an extended time period will become addicted to its effects and will experience withdrawal symptoms if they initially stop using marijuana. Individuals today have very high grade marijuana available which wasn't true 10-20 years ago, which makes it a much larger problem.

Somebody who uses marijuana frequently is really altering how the brain functions, hence the brain can't just automatically return to normal function as soon as the person stops using marijuana, this may take time. People actually detox from marijuana, like any other drug, as the drug is eliminated from your body and the body readjusts to normal operation without marijuana. So marijuana detox can be a challenge for long-term users, because users will experience withdrawal symptoms that may be difficult to endure. These symptoms might not be as physical as it is with heroin withdrawal for example, but marijuana detox and withdrawal could cause extreme depression and other psychological symptoms for long-term users. For this reason relapse is so prevalent for individuals who attempt to stop using marijuana on their own. Marijuana detox services are available at drug detoxification and drug rehabilitation centers in Prior Lake to help individuals through this process so they don't relapse and may obtain further rehabilitation services following detox.
