In spite of what efforts to legalize and today's culture wants you to believe, it's a proven and conclusive fact that marijuana is an addictive substance which may lead to both acute and long-term physical and psychological harm to users. Much like other drugs, somebody who has used marijuana for a prolonged period of time can become hooked on its effects and will experience withdrawal symptoms if they initially quit using marijuana. Users today have very high grade marijuana available which wasn't the situation 2 decades ago, making it a much larger issue.

Someone who uses marijuana regularly is significantly changing how the brain functions, so the brain can't just automatically return to normal operation once the person stops using marijuana, this could 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 could be a challenge for long-term users, because users will experience withdrawal symptoms which are often tough to endure. These symptoms might not be as physical in nature as heroin withdrawal for instance, but marijuana detox and withdrawal can cause severe depression and other psychological symptoms for chronic users. For this reason relapse is so common for individuals who try and quit using marijuana on their own. Marijuana detox services are offered at drug and alcohol detoxification and drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities in Blaine to help people through this process so they don't relapse and may obtain further treatment services after detox.
