Despite what initiatives to legalize and today's culture wants you to believe, it's a proven and conclusive proven fact that marijuana can be an addictive substance which can cause both short and long-term physical and mental injury to users. Much like other substances, someone who has used marijuana for a prolonged time period will become dependent on its effects and definately will encounter withdrawal symptoms when they abruptly quit using marijuana. Users today have very high grade marijuana at their disposal which wasn't the situation 10-20 years ago, making it an even larger problem.

Someone that uses marijuana regularly is significantly changing the way the brain functions, and so the brain can't just automatically return to normal function as soon as the individual ceases using marijuana, this will take some time. People actually detox from marijuana, like any other drug, as marijuana is eliminated from your body and the body readjusts to function without marijuana. So marijuana detox can be a challenge for habitual users, because users will experience withdrawal symptoms which are often difficult to endure. These symptoms may not be as physical as it is with heroin withdrawal by way of example, but marijuana detox and withdrawal might cause extreme depression and other psychological symptoms for long-term users. This is why relapse is so prevalent for individuals who attempt to quit using marijuana by themselves. Marijuana detox services can be found at alcohol and drug detox and drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers in Greencastle to help people through this process so that they don't relapse and can obtain further rehab services following detoxification.
