Despite what efforts to legalize and popular culture wants you to believe, it is a verified and conclusive fact that marijuana can be an addictive drug which may cause both short and long-term physical and mental harm to users. Similar to other substances, someone who has used marijuana for a prolonged time period will become addicted to its effects and will experience withdrawal symptoms whenever they abruptly stop using marijuana. Users today have very high grade marijuana at their disposal which wasn't true 10-20 years ago, which makes it a much bigger problem.

Somebody who uses marijuana often is really altering how the brain functions, therefore the brain can't just automatically readjust to normal function as soon as the individual stops using marijuana, this can take some time. People actually detox from marijuana, like any other drug, as marijuana is eliminated from your body and the body readjusts to normal operation without marijuana. So marijuana detox is usually a challenge for habitual users, because individuals will experience withdrawal symptoms that may be difficult to endure. These symptoms may not be as physical as it is with heroin withdrawal for example, but marijuana detox and withdrawal can cause extreme depression along with other mental symptoms for long-term users. This is why relapse is really common for many who try and stop using marijuana by themselves. Marijuana detox services are available at drug and alcohol detox and drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities in North De Land to help individuals through this process so that they don't relapse and may receive further rehab services after detox.
