Despite what initiatives to legalize and popular culture wants you to believe, it's a proven and conclusive indisputable fact that marijuana can be an addictive drug that may cause both short and long-term physical and psychological injury to users. Like other drugs, someone who has used marijuana for a prolonged period of time will become addicted to its effects and may experience withdrawal symptoms when they initially quit using marijuana. Users today have very high grade marijuana at their disposal which wasn't the situation 10-20 years ago, which makes it a much bigger issue.

Someone that uses marijuana often is significantly altering how the brain functions, hence the brain can't just automatically readjust to normal function when the individual ceases using marijuana, this may take some time. People actually detox from marijuana, like any other drug, as marijuana is eliminated from the 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 which are often difficult to endure. These symptoms may not be as physical in nature as heroin withdrawal by way of example, but marijuana detox and withdrawal can cause severe depression as well as other mental symptoms for chronic users. This is why relapse is so prevalent for those who attempt to quit using marijuana on their own. Marijuana detox services are available at alcohol and drug detox and drug rehab facilities in St Leon to help individuals through this process so they don't relapse and can obtain further treatment services following detoxification.
