Despite what initiatives to legalize and popular culture wants you to think, it is a verified and conclusive indisputable fact that marijuana is an addictive substance that may bring about both short and long-term physical and psychological harm to users. Much like other substances, a person who has used marijuana for a prolonged period of time will become dependent on its effects and may experience withdrawal symptoms when they initially stop using marijuana. Users today have extremely high grade marijuana at their disposal which wasn't true twenty years ago, which makes it a much bigger issue.

Someone who uses marijuana often is significantly altering the way the brain functions, hence the brain can't just instantly return to normal function as soon as the person stops using marijuana, this could take some time. Individuals actually detox from marijuana, like every other drug, as marijuana is eliminated from your body and the body readjusts to function without marijuana. So marijuana detox can be a challenge for long-term users, because users will experience withdrawal symptoms which are often hard to endure. These symptoms might not be as physical as it is with heroin withdrawal as an example, but marijuana detox and withdrawal may cause extreme depression along with other mental symptoms for chronic users. That is why relapse is so common for those who make an attempt to stop using marijuana by themselves. Marijuana detox solutions are available at alcohol and drug detoxification and alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers in Fernandina Beach to help people through this process so that they don't relapse and can receive further rehabilitation services following detoxification.
