In spite of what initiatives to legalize and today's culture wants you to believe, it is a proven and scientific indisputable fact that marijuana is an addictive substance that may bring about both acute and long-term physical and psychological harm to users. Like other drugs, someone who has used marijuana for a prolonged period of time will become addicted to its effects and definately will experience withdrawal symptoms should they abruptly stop using marijuana. Users today have very high grade marijuana available which wasn't the situation twenty years ago, which makes it a much bigger problem.

Someone who uses marijuana on a regular basis is significantly changing the way the brain functions, hence the brain can't just instantly readjust to normal function when the person stops using marijuana, this will take time. People actually detox from marijuana, like any other drug, as the drug is eliminated from the 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 which can be challenging to endure. These symptoms might not be as physical as it is with heroin withdrawal for instance, but marijuana detox and withdrawal might cause severe depression and other mental symptoms for chronic users. For this reason relapse is so prevalent for individuals who try to stop using marijuana on their own. Marijuana detox services are offered at alcohol and drug detoxification and drug rehab centers in Toledo to help people through this process so they don't relapse and may receive further rehab services after detox.
