In spite of what efforts to legalize and popular culture would lead you to believe, it is a verified and conclusive indisputable fact that marijuana can be an addictive drug which may lead to both acute and long-term physical and psychological injury to users. Similar to other substances, anyone who has used marijuana for a prolonged period of time will become addicted to its effects and will experience withdrawal symptoms if they initially stop using marijuana. Users today have extremely high grade marijuana available which wasn't the situation two decades ago, making it an even larger issue.

Somebody that uses marijuana on a regular basis is significantly changing the way the brain functions, and so the brain can't just instantly readjust to normal operation when the person ceases using marijuana, this can take some time. Individuals actually detox from marijuana, like any other drug, as marijuana is eliminated from the body and the body readjusts to normal operation without marijuana. So marijuana detox can be a challenge for habitual users, because users will encounter withdrawal symptoms which may be difficult to endure. These symptoms might not be as physical as it is with heroin withdrawal as an example, but marijuana detox and withdrawal can cause extreme depression as well as other mental symptoms for long-term users. For this reason relapse is so common for individuals who try and stop using marijuana on their own. Marijuana detox services are offered at drug detoxification and drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers in Tchula to help individuals through this process so they don't relapse and may receive further rehabilitation services after detox.
