In spite of what efforts to legalize and popular culture wants you to think, it's a proven and conclusive undeniable fact that marijuana is an addictive drug that may cause both short and long-term physical and mental harm to users. Like other substances, anyone who has used marijuana for a prolonged time period can become hooked on its effects and will encounter withdrawal symptoms should they initially stop using marijuana. Users today have extremely high grade marijuana at their disposal which wasn't the case 10-20 years ago, making it a much larger problem.

Somebody that uses marijuana often is significantly changing how the brain functions, and so the brain can't just automatically return to normal operation as soon as the individual ceases using marijuana, this will take some time. Individuals actually detox from marijuana, like every other drug, as the drug is eliminated from your body and the body readjusts to normal operation without marijuana. So marijuana detox can be a challenge for habitual users, because users will experience withdrawal symptoms which are often difficult to endure. These symptoms might not be as physical as it is with heroin withdrawal by way of example, but marijuana detox and withdrawal may cause severe depression and other psychological symptoms for long-term users. This is the reason relapse is so common for individuals who try to quit using marijuana on their own. Marijuana detox services are available at drug and alcohol detox and drug and alcohol rehab centers in Stratford to help individuals through this process so they don't relapse and can receive further treatment services following detox.
