In spite of what initiatives to legalize and popular culture wants you to believe, it is a proven and scientific fact that marijuana is an addictive substance which can lead to both short and long-term physical and psychological injury to users. Like other drugs, somebody who has used marijuana for an extended time period will become hooked on its effects and may experience withdrawal symptoms when they initially stop using marijuana. Individuals today have extremely high grade marijuana at their disposal which wasn't the situation twenty years ago, which makes it a much bigger issue.

Somebody who uses marijuana regularly is really changing how the brain functions, so the brain can't just instantly readjust to normal function as soon as the person ceases using marijuana, this will take time. People actually detox from marijuana, like any other drug, as the drug is eliminated from your body and the body readjusts to normal operation without marijuana. So marijuana detox can be a challenge for long-term users, because users will encounter withdrawal symptoms which may be hard to endure. These symptoms might not be as physical in nature as heroin withdrawal as an example, but marijuana detox and withdrawal can cause severe depression and other mental symptoms for long-term users. This is the reason relapse is really prevalent for those who try and quit using marijuana by themselves. Marijuana detox services are available at drug and alcohol detox and alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers in East Palestine to help people through this process so that they don't relapse and may receive further rehab services after detox.
