Despite what efforts to legalize and popular culture wants you to think, it is a verified and scientific fact that marijuana can be an addictive substance which can lead to both acute and long-term physical and psychological injury to users. Much like other substances, anyone who has used marijuana for a prolonged period of time will become hooked on its effects and can experience withdrawal symptoms should they abruptly stop using marijuana. Users today have very high grade marijuana available which wasn't true 2 decades ago, making it a much larger issue.

Someone who uses marijuana often is really altering how the brain functions, so the brain can't just instantly readjust to normal function once the individual stops using marijuana, this can take some time. Individuals 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 a challenge for habitual users, because users will encounter withdrawal symptoms that may be difficult to endure. These symptoms may not be as physical as it is with heroin withdrawal by way of example, but marijuana detox and withdrawal can cause extreme depression along with other psychological symptoms for long-term users. That is why relapse is so common for individuals who attempt to quit using marijuana by themselves. Marijuana detox services can be found at alcohol and drug detox and drug and alcohol rehab facilities in Kingston to help individuals through this process so that they don't relapse and may receive further treatment services following detox.
