Despite what initiatives to legalize and popular culture would lead you to believe, it is a verified and conclusive proven fact that marijuana is definitely an addictive drug which can bring about both acute and long-term physical and psychological injury to users. Like other drugs, a person who has used marijuana for an extended time period can become hooked on its effects and definately will encounter withdrawal symptoms if they initially stop using marijuana. Users today have extremely high grade marijuana available which wasn't true 10-20 years ago, which makes it an even larger issue.

Someone who uses marijuana on a regular basis is significantly changing the way the brain functions, so the brain can't just automatically readjust to normal operation once the person stops 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 normal operation without marijuana. So marijuana detox can be quite a challenge for long-term users, because users will experience withdrawal symptoms which are often difficult to endure. These symptoms might not be as physical as it is with heroin withdrawal for example, but marijuana detox and withdrawal may cause extreme depression along with other mental symptoms for chronic users. This is the reason relapse is so prevalent for those who try and cease using marijuana by themselves. Marijuana detox solutions are offered at drug and alcohol detox and alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs in Wilmore to help people through this process so that they don't relapse and may receive further treatment services following detoxification.
