Despite what efforts to legalize and popular culture wants you to believe, it's a proven and conclusive proven fact that marijuana is definitely an addictive drug that may lead to both short and long-term physical and psychological injury to users. Like other substances, anyone who has used marijuana for an extended time period can become addicted to its effects and definately will experience withdrawal symptoms should they initially quit using marijuana. Individuals today have very high grade marijuana at their disposal which wasn't the case twenty years ago, making it a much bigger problem.

Someone that uses marijuana on a regular basis is significantly altering the way the brain functions, therefore the brain can't just automatically return to normal operation as soon as the person 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 is usually a challenge for habitual users, because individuals will encounter withdrawal symptoms that may be difficult to endure. These symptoms may not be as physical as it is with heroin withdrawal for instance, but marijuana detox and withdrawal may cause extreme depression as well as other psychological symptoms for chronic users. For this reason relapse is so common for individuals who try to cease using marijuana on their own. Marijuana detox services are offered at alcohol and drug detox and drug rehab facilities in Somerset to help individuals through this process so they don't relapse and can obtain further rehab services following detox.
