Despite what initiatives to legalize and today's culture would lead you to believe, it's a proven and conclusive fact that marijuana is definitely an addictive drug which may cause both acute and long-term physical and mental harm to users. Like other drugs, somebody who has used marijuana for an extended time period can become hooked on its effects and definately will encounter withdrawal symptoms if they initially quit using marijuana. Users today have very high grade marijuana available which wasn't true 10-20 years ago, which makes it an even bigger problem.

Someone that uses marijuana regularly is significantly changing the way the brain functions, and so the brain can't just automatically return to normal operation when the individual ceases using marijuana, this can take time. People actually detox from marijuana, like any other drug, as marijuana is eliminated from the body and the body readjusts to function without marijuana. So marijuana detox can be quite a challenge for long-term users, because individuals will experience withdrawal symptoms that may be tough to endure. These symptoms may not be as physical as it is with heroin withdrawal as an example, but marijuana detox and withdrawal could cause severe depression as well as other mental symptoms for long-term users. This is why relapse is so prevalent for many who try and stop using marijuana by themselves. Marijuana detox services can be found at drug detox and alcohol and drug rehab programs in Boynton Beach to help individuals through this process so that they don't relapse and may receive further rehab services following detox.
