Despite what efforts to legalize and popular culture wants you to think, it is a verified and conclusive undeniable fact that marijuana can be an addictive drug that may bring about both short and long-term physical and mental harm to users. Like other drugs, a person who has used marijuana for an extended time period will become dependent on its effects and can encounter withdrawal symptoms if they abruptly quit using marijuana. Users today have extremely high grade marijuana at their disposal which wasn't the situation 10-20 years ago, which makes it a much larger issue.

Someone that uses marijuana frequently is significantly changing the way the brain functions, so the brain can't just automatically return to normal operation once the individual ceases using marijuana, this will take time. People 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 quite a challenge for long-term users, because users will experience withdrawal symptoms which are often challenging to endure. These symptoms may not be as physical as it is with heroin withdrawal for example, but marijuana detox and withdrawal may cause severe depression along with other mental symptoms for long-term users. For this reason relapse is really common for those who try to stop using marijuana on their own. Marijuana detox services are available at drug detox and drug rehabilitation centers in Beaconsfield to help people through this process so they don't relapse and can obtain further rehabilitation services following detox.
