Despite what efforts to legalize and today's culture would lead you to believe, it is a proven and scientific proven fact that marijuana can be an addictive substance that may bring about both acute and long-term physical and mental harm to users. Much like other drugs, somebody who has used marijuana for a prolonged time period can become hooked on its effects and will experience withdrawal symptoms should they abruptly stop using marijuana. Users today have very high grade marijuana at their disposal which wasn't the case 10-20 years ago, which makes it a much bigger issue.

Somebody who uses marijuana on a regular basis is significantly altering how the brain functions, so the brain can't just automatically readjust to normal function once the individual ceases using marijuana, this will 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 habitual users, because individuals will experience withdrawal symptoms that may be difficult to endure. These symptoms might not be as physical as it is with heroin withdrawal for example, but marijuana detox and withdrawal might cause extreme depression as well as other psychological symptoms for long-term users. For this reason relapse is so common for many who try to quit using marijuana by themselves. Marijuana detox services are available at alcohol and drug detoxification and alcohol and drug rehab centers in Paukaa to help people through this process so they don't relapse and can receive further rehabilitation services following detox.
