Despite what initiatives to legalize and popular culture wants you to think, it is a proven and scientific fact that marijuana can be an addictive substance that may cause both short and long-term physical and mental harm to users. Similar to other drugs, anyone who has used marijuana for a prolonged time period will become dependent on its effects and definately will encounter withdrawal symptoms should they initially quit using marijuana. Users today have very high grade marijuana available which wasn't the case 10-20 years ago, making it a much bigger issue.

Someone who uses marijuana on a regular basis is really altering how the brain functions, hence the brain can't just automatically return to normal function once the person ceases using marijuana, this could take some time. People actually detox from marijuana, like every other drug, as marijuana is eliminated from the body and the body readjusts to function 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 for instance, but marijuana detox and withdrawal may cause severe depression as well as other mental symptoms for chronic users. This is why relapse is so common for those who try to stop using marijuana on their own. Marijuana detox solutions are offered at drug and alcohol detox and drug treatment programs in New Smyrna Beach to help individuals through this process so they don't relapse and may obtain further rehabilitation services following detoxification.
