In spite of what efforts to legalize and popular culture would lead you to think, it's a verified and conclusive fact that marijuana can be an addictive substance which can cause both acute and long-term physical and psychological harm to users. Like other drugs, a person who has used marijuana for a prolonged time period can become dependent on its effects and definately will encounter withdrawal symptoms if they initially stop using marijuana. Users today have extremely high grade marijuana at their disposal which wasn't the situation 10-20 years ago, making it a much bigger problem.

Someone who uses marijuana often is really altering how the brain functions, therefore the brain can't just automatically return to normal operation when the individual stops using marijuana, this could take some 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 could be a challenge for long-term users, because individuals will encounter withdrawal symptoms which are often difficult to endure. These symptoms may not be as physical as it is with heroin withdrawal for example, but marijuana detox and withdrawal could cause severe depression along with other mental symptoms for long-term users. This is why relapse is so prevalent for many who attempt to stop using marijuana on their own. Marijuana detox solutions can be found at alcohol and drug detoxification and drug and alcohol rehab centers in Sparta to help individuals through this process so that they don't relapse and can receive further rehabilitation services after detoxification.
