Despite what efforts to legalize and popular culture would lead you to believe, it is a proven and conclusive indisputable fact that marijuana is an addictive substance that may cause both acute and long-term physical and psychological harm to users. Similar to other substances, somebody who has used marijuana for a prolonged time period can become dependent on its effects and definately will experience withdrawal symptoms when they abruptly stop using marijuana. Users today have very high grade marijuana available which wasn't the situation twenty years ago, making it a much bigger problem.

Someone that uses marijuana on a regular basis is really altering how the brain functions, hence the brain can't just automatically readjust to normal function once the person stops using marijuana, this may take 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 is usually a challenge for habitual users, because users will encounter withdrawal symptoms which can be hard to endure. These symptoms might not be as physical in nature as heroin withdrawal for instance, but marijuana detox and withdrawal may cause severe depression as well as other mental symptoms for long-term users. That is why relapse is really common for those who try and stop using marijuana on their own. Marijuana detox services are offered at drug detoxification and drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers in Solvang to help people through this process so they don't relapse and can receive further treatment services following detoxification.
