Despite what efforts to legalize and today's culture would lead you to believe, it's a proven and scientific undeniable fact that marijuana is an addictive substance which may cause both acute and long-term physical and mental harm to users. Similar to other substances, someone who has used marijuana for an extended time period can become dependent on its effects and definately will experience withdrawal symptoms whenever they abruptly quit using marijuana. Users today have extremely high grade marijuana available which wasn't the case 10-20 years ago, making it a much larger problem.

Someone that uses marijuana regularly is really altering the way the brain functions, so the brain can't just instantly return to normal operation as soon as the individual stops using marijuana, this could take some time. People actually detox from marijuana, like every other drug, as marijuana is eliminated from the body and the body readjusts to normal operation without marijuana. So marijuana detox is usually a challenge for habitual users, because individuals will experience withdrawal symptoms that may be difficult to endure. These symptoms may not be as physical as it is with heroin withdrawal for example, but marijuana detox and withdrawal can cause severe depression and other mental symptoms for chronic users. That is why relapse is so common for those who try to quit using marijuana on their own. Marijuana detox services can be obtained at drug and alcohol detox and drug treatment centers in Maryhill Estates to help people through this process so they don't relapse and can obtain further rehab services following detoxification.
