Despite what efforts to legalize and popular culture would lead you to think, it is a verified and scientific proven fact that marijuana is an addictive substance that may lead to both acute and long-term physical and mental injury to users. Much like other substances, a person who has used marijuana for a prolonged period of time can become addicted to its effects and can encounter withdrawal symptoms should they abruptly quit using marijuana. Users today have very high grade marijuana available which wasn't the situation two decades ago, making it a much bigger problem.

Someone who uses marijuana regularly is significantly changing how the brain functions, therefore the brain can't just automatically return to normal operation once the person stops using marijuana, this could take 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 could be a challenge for habitual users, because users will encounter withdrawal symptoms that may be challenging to endure. These symptoms might not be as physical as it is with heroin withdrawal by way of example, but marijuana detox and withdrawal can cause severe depression along with other psychological symptoms for chronic users. That is why relapse is so common for many who try to quit using marijuana on their own. Marijuana detox services are offered at drug detox and drug rehab centers in North Omak to help people through this process so that they don't relapse and can obtain further rehabilitation services following detoxification.
