In spite of what initiatives to legalize and popular culture wants you to think, it's a verified and conclusive proven fact that marijuana is an addictive drug that may cause both acute and long-term physical and mental harm to users. Much like other drugs, anyone who has used marijuana for a prolonged period of time will become dependent on its effects and may experience withdrawal symptoms should they abruptly quit using marijuana. Users today have extremely high grade marijuana available which wasn't true 10-20 years ago, which makes it an even larger issue.

Somebody who uses marijuana regularly is really altering how the brain functions, therefore the brain can't just automatically return to normal function as soon as the individual stops using marijuana, this could take time. People 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 quite a challenge for habitual users, because individuals will encounter withdrawal symptoms which can be difficult to endure. These symptoms might not be as physical as it is with heroin withdrawal for example, but marijuana detox and withdrawal may cause extreme depression along with other mental symptoms for long-term users. This is the reason relapse is so prevalent for many who attempt to stop using marijuana on their own. Marijuana detox services can be found at alcohol and drug detox and alcohol and drug treatment programs in Marlboro to help people through this process so they don't relapse and may receive further treatment services following detoxification.
