Despite what efforts to legalize and today's culture wants you to believe, it's a proven and conclusive indisputable fact that marijuana is definitely an addictive substance that may lead to both acute and long-term physical and psychological harm to users. Similar to other substances, someone who has used marijuana for a prolonged period of time can become hooked on its effects and may encounter withdrawal symptoms if they initially stop using marijuana. Users today have very high grade marijuana at their disposal which wasn't the case 10-20 years ago, making it a much bigger issue.

Someone who uses marijuana often is significantly changing the way the brain functions, hence the brain can't just instantly readjust to normal function once the individual ceases using marijuana, this can take some time. People actually detox from marijuana, like any other drug, as marijuana is eliminated from the body and the body readjusts to function without marijuana. So marijuana detox could be a challenge for habitual users, because users will experience withdrawal symptoms which can be difficult to endure. These symptoms might not be as physical as it is with heroin withdrawal for instance, but marijuana detox and withdrawal could cause extreme depression and other mental symptoms for chronic users. That is why relapse is really common for those who try and stop using marijuana by themselves. Marijuana detox services can be found at alcohol and drug detox and drug rehabilitation programs in McBain to help people through this process so that they don't relapse and may receive further treatment services following detoxification.
