Despite what efforts to legalize and today's culture wants you to believe, it's a proven and conclusive indisputable fact that marijuana is definitely an addictive substance which may cause both acute and long-term physical and mental harm to users. Similar to other drugs, someone who has used marijuana for a prolonged time period can become addicted to its effects and can experience withdrawal symptoms should they abruptly quit using marijuana. Users today have extremely high grade marijuana at their disposal which wasn't the case two decades ago, making it a much bigger problem.

Somebody who uses marijuana on a regular basis is significantly changing how the brain functions, hence the brain can't just instantly return to normal operation when the individual ceases using marijuana, this could take some time. People actually detox from marijuana, like any other drug, as the drug is eliminated from your body and the body readjusts to function without marijuana. So marijuana detox can be a challenge for long-term users, because users will encounter withdrawal symptoms which 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 may cause severe depression as well as other mental symptoms for chronic users. This is why relapse is so prevalent for many who try and stop using marijuana on their own. Marijuana detox services can be found at drug and alcohol detox and drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities in Fairchild to help people through this process so that they don't relapse and can receive further treatment services following detox.
