In spite of what efforts to legalize and today's culture would lead you to believe, it is a verified and conclusive proven fact that marijuana can be an addictive drug which can cause both acute and long-term physical and psychological injury to users. Much like other drugs, somebody who has used marijuana for a prolonged time period can become hooked on its effects and may experience withdrawal symptoms when they initially stop using marijuana. Users today have extremely high grade marijuana available which wasn't the case 10-20 years ago, which makes it an even larger problem.

Someone who uses marijuana often is significantly changing the way the brain functions, so the brain can't just instantly return to normal function as soon as the individual ceases using marijuana, this will take some 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 long-term users, because users will experience withdrawal symptoms which can be difficult to endure. These symptoms might not be as physical in nature as heroin withdrawal as an example, but marijuana detox and withdrawal can cause extreme depression as well as other psychological symptoms for chronic users. That is why relapse is so common for individuals who attempt to stop using marijuana by themselves. Marijuana detox services can be found at drug and alcohol detoxification and drug and alcohol rehab facilities in Anchor to help individuals through this process so they don't relapse and may obtain further treatment services following detoxification.
