Despite what efforts to legalize and today's culture wants you to believe, it is a verified and conclusive proven fact that marijuana is an addictive drug which can cause both short and long-term physical and mental harm to users. Like other drugs, a person who has used marijuana for an extended period of time will become hooked on its effects and will experience withdrawal symptoms should they initially quit using marijuana. Users today have very high grade marijuana at their disposal which wasn't true 2 decades ago, which makes it an even bigger issue.

Somebody who uses marijuana frequently is really altering how the brain functions, so the brain can't just instantly return to normal function when the individual ceases using marijuana, this will take some 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 a challenge for long-term users, because users will experience withdrawal symptoms which may be challenging to endure. These symptoms may not be as physical in nature as heroin withdrawal for instance, but marijuana detox and withdrawal may cause severe depression along with other mental symptoms for chronic users. This is why relapse is so common for many who try and quit using marijuana by themselves. Marijuana detox services are available at drug detoxification and alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers in Foothill Farms to help individuals through this process so they don't relapse and can receive further treatment services after detoxification.
