In spite of what efforts to legalize and popular culture would lead you to believe, it is a proven and conclusive undeniable fact that marijuana is an addictive drug which can bring about both short and long-term physical and mental harm to users. Like other drugs, someone who has used marijuana for a prolonged period of time will become hooked on its effects and may encounter withdrawal symptoms when they abruptly quit using marijuana. Users today have very high grade marijuana at their disposal which wasn't the case 2 decades ago, which makes it a much larger issue.

Somebody that uses marijuana regularly is really altering how the brain functions, and so the brain can't just automatically return to normal function once the person stops using marijuana, this can take time. People actually detox from marijuana, like every 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 habitual users, because users will experience withdrawal symptoms which can be hard to endure. These symptoms might not be as physical as it is with heroin withdrawal by way of example, but marijuana detox and withdrawal could cause extreme depression along with other psychological symptoms for long-term users. That is why relapse is so common for many who try and quit using marijuana on their own. Marijuana detox services are available at drug and alcohol detoxification and alcohol and drug rehab centers in New Philadelphia to help people through this process so that they don't relapse and can receive further treatment services following detox.
