In spite of what efforts to legalize and popular culture would lead you to believe, it is a verified and conclusive indisputable fact that marijuana is definitely an addictive substance which can cause both short and long-term physical and mental harm to users. Like other drugs, someone who has used marijuana for an extended period of time will become hooked on its effects and definately will encounter withdrawal symptoms should they initially quit using marijuana. Users today have extremely high grade marijuana at their disposal which wasn't the situation 2 decades ago, which makes it an even larger problem.

Somebody that uses marijuana regularly is significantly changing the way the brain functions, hence the brain can't just instantly return to normal operation as soon as the person ceases using marijuana, this will take time. Individuals 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 is usually a challenge for long-term users, because individuals will encounter withdrawal symptoms which can be tough to endure. These symptoms might not be as physical as it is with heroin withdrawal for example, but marijuana detox and withdrawal can cause severe depression and other mental symptoms for long-term users. For this reason relapse is so common for many who try and quit using marijuana on their own. Marijuana detox services are available at drug and alcohol detoxification and alcohol and drug rehab facilities in Lockbourne to help individuals through this process so they don't relapse and can receive further treatment services following detox.
