Despite what efforts to legalize and popular culture wants you to think, it's a verified and scientific indisputable fact that marijuana can be an addictive drug which can lead to both short and long-term physical and mental harm to users. Like other substances, someone who has used marijuana for a prolonged period of time can become addicted to its effects and may encounter withdrawal symptoms whenever they abruptly quit using marijuana. Individuals today have very high grade marijuana available which wasn't the case twenty years ago, making it a much bigger problem.

Someone who uses marijuana on a regular basis is really changing how the brain functions, so the brain can't just instantly return to normal function when the individual ceases using marijuana, this will take time. People actually detox from marijuana, like any 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 habitual users, because users will experience withdrawal symptoms which may be difficult to endure. These symptoms might not be as physical as it is with heroin withdrawal for instance, but marijuana detox and withdrawal could cause severe depression and other psychological symptoms for chronic users. For this reason relapse is so common for individuals who try to cease using marijuana by themselves. Marijuana detox services can be found at alcohol and drug detox and alcohol and drug rehab centers in Prospect Park to help people through this process so they don't relapse and can receive further rehab services after detox.
