Despite what efforts to legalize and today's culture would lead you to think, it is a proven and conclusive fact that marijuana is an addictive drug which may bring about both acute and long-term physical and mental injury to users. Much like other drugs, someone who has used marijuana for an extended time period can become hooked on its effects and will encounter withdrawal symptoms should they abruptly quit using marijuana. Users today have very high grade marijuana available which wasn't the case two decades ago, which makes it a much bigger issue.

Somebody who uses marijuana regularly is really changing how the brain functions, hence the brain can't just instantly return to normal operation as soon as the individual stops using marijuana, this may take some time. People actually detox from marijuana, like every other drug, as marijuana is eliminated from the body and the body readjusts to normal operation without marijuana. So marijuana detox could be a challenge for long-term users, because users will encounter withdrawal symptoms that may be hard to endure. These symptoms may not be as physical as it is with heroin withdrawal for instance, but marijuana detox and withdrawal could cause extreme depression as well as other psychological symptoms for chronic users. This is why relapse is so common for those who attempt to stop using marijuana by themselves. Marijuana detox services can be found at alcohol and drug detox and drug rehabilitation facilities in Grayson to help individuals through this process so they don't relapse and may receive further treatment services following detoxification.
