Despite what efforts to legalize and popular culture wants you to think, it's a verified and scientific undeniable fact that marijuana is an addictive drug which can lead to both short and long-term physical and psychological injury to users. Like other substances, anyone who has used marijuana for a prolonged time period can become addicted to its effects and definately will encounter withdrawal symptoms should they abruptly quit using marijuana. Users today have extremely high grade marijuana available which wasn't the case twenty years ago, which makes it a much bigger issue.

Somebody who uses marijuana on a regular basis is significantly changing the way the brain functions, so the brain can't just automatically readjust to normal function when the person stops using marijuana, this will 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 can be quite a challenge for long-term users, because users will experience withdrawal symptoms which are often hard to endure. These symptoms may not be as physical as it is with heroin withdrawal for instance, but marijuana detox and withdrawal might cause extreme depression and other mental symptoms for long-term users. This is the reason relapse is so prevalent for many who attempt to cease using marijuana by themselves. Marijuana detox services are available at drug and alcohol detoxification and alcohol and drug rehab centers in Walnut to help people through this course of action so they don't relapse and may receive further rehab services after detox.
