Despite what efforts to legalize and popular culture would lead you to think, it's a proven and conclusive indisputable fact that marijuana is an addictive substance which can lead to both acute and long-term physical and psychological injury to users. Similar to other drugs, someone who has used marijuana for an extended period of time will become dependent on its effects and may experience withdrawal symptoms if they abruptly stop 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 bigger problem.

Someone who uses marijuana regularly is really changing the way the brain functions, and so the brain can't just automatically readjust to normal function 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 your body and the body readjusts to function without marijuana. So marijuana detox is usually a challenge for habitual users, because users will encounter withdrawal symptoms which are often tough to endure. These symptoms might not be as physical as it is with heroin withdrawal for instance, but marijuana detox and withdrawal can cause extreme depression and other mental symptoms for chronic users. This is the reason relapse is so common for many who attempt to quit using marijuana by themselves. Marijuana detox services can be found at alcohol and drug detoxification and drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities in Clay City to help people through this process so they don't relapse and may obtain further treatment services after detoxification.
