In spite of what initiatives to legalize and today's culture wants you to believe, it is a verified and scientific proven fact that marijuana is an addictive substance which may cause both acute and long-term physical and psychological harm to users. Like other substances, someone who has used marijuana for an extended period of time will become dependent on its effects and will encounter withdrawal symptoms whenever they initially quit using marijuana. Individuals today have very high grade marijuana at their disposal which wasn't the situation 2 decades ago, which makes it a much larger issue.

Somebody that uses marijuana regularly is really altering the way the brain functions, therefore the brain can't just instantly readjust to normal function when the person ceases using marijuana, this may take time. People actually detox from marijuana, like any other drug, as marijuana is eliminated from your body and the body readjusts to function without marijuana. So marijuana detox can be a challenge for habitual users, because users will experience withdrawal symptoms that may be hard to endure. These symptoms might not be as physical as it is with heroin withdrawal for example, but marijuana detox and withdrawal can cause extreme depression as well as other mental symptoms for chronic users. This is why relapse is so common for those who try and stop using marijuana by themselves. Marijuana detox services are available at drug and alcohol detoxification and drug rehabilitation centers in St Michael to help individuals through this process so they don't relapse and can receive further rehab services after detoxification.
