In spite of what efforts to legalize and popular culture wants you to think, it's a proven and conclusive proven fact that marijuana is an addictive drug which can cause both acute and long-term physical and psychological harm to users. Much like other drugs, anyone who has used marijuana for an extended time period can become dependent on its effects and definately will experience withdrawal symptoms whenever they initially stop using marijuana. Individuals today have very high grade marijuana at their disposal which wasn't true two decades ago, making it an even bigger problem.

Someone who uses marijuana on a regular basis is significantly altering the way the brain functions, hence the brain can't just instantly return to normal function when the individual stops using marijuana, this will take time. People actually detox from marijuana, like every other drug, as marijuana is eliminated from the body and the body readjusts to function without marijuana. So marijuana detox can be quite a challenge for habitual users, because users will experience withdrawal symptoms which may be difficult to endure. These symptoms may not be as physical in nature as heroin withdrawal as an example, but marijuana detox and withdrawal might cause extreme depression and other psychological symptoms for long-term users. For this reason relapse is really prevalent for many who try to stop using marijuana by themselves. Marijuana detox services are available at drug and alcohol detox and drug rehabilitation programs in Arthur to help individuals through this process so that they don't relapse and may receive further rehab services after detoxification.
