In spite of what efforts to legalize and popular culture would lead you to think, it's a proven and scientific undeniable fact that marijuana can be an addictive drug that may lead to both acute and long-term physical and mental injury to users. Much like other substances, a person who has used marijuana for a prolonged period of time can become dependent on its effects and will experience withdrawal symptoms whenever they initially stop using marijuana. Users today have very high grade marijuana at their disposal which wasn't true 10-20 years ago, making it a much bigger issue.

Somebody who uses marijuana regularly is significantly changing how the brain functions, so the brain can't just automatically readjust to normal function as soon as the person stops using marijuana, this may take some time. Individuals 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 habitual users, because users will experience withdrawal symptoms that may be difficult to endure. These symptoms might not be as physical in nature as heroin withdrawal for instance, but marijuana detox and withdrawal may cause extreme depression as well as other mental symptoms for chronic users. This is why relapse is so prevalent for many who try to stop using marijuana by themselves. Marijuana detox solutions are offered at drug and alcohol detox and drug and alcohol treatment centers in Paris to help people through this process so they don't relapse and may receive further treatment services following detox.
