In spite of what efforts to legalize and popular culture wants you to believe, it's a proven and conclusive fact that marijuana is an addictive substance which can lead to both short and long-term physical and psychological harm to users. Like other drugs, a person who has used marijuana for an extended time period will become hooked on its effects and definately will encounter withdrawal symptoms when they initially stop using marijuana. Individuals today have very high grade marijuana at their disposal which wasn't the situation 10-20 years ago, making it a much bigger problem.

Somebody who uses marijuana often is significantly changing the way the brain functions, therefore the brain can't just instantly readjust to normal operation as soon as the individual stops using marijuana, this will take time. Individuals actually detox from marijuana, like every other drug, as marijuana is eliminated from the body and the body readjusts to normal operation without marijuana. So marijuana detox could be a challenge for habitual users, because users will encounter withdrawal symptoms that may be hard to endure. These symptoms might not be as physical as it is with heroin withdrawal for example, but marijuana detox and withdrawal could cause extreme depression as well as other mental symptoms for long-term users. This is why relapse is really common for individuals who try and stop using marijuana by themselves. Marijuana detox services are offered at alcohol and drug detox and drug treatment facilities in Morrill to help individuals through this process so they don't relapse and can obtain further treatment services after detoxification.
