Despite what initiatives to legalize and popular culture wants you to believe, it is a proven and conclusive proven fact that marijuana is an addictive substance which may lead to both acute and long-term physical and mental harm to users. Similar to other substances, someone who has used marijuana for a prolonged period of time will become addicted to its effects and will encounter withdrawal symptoms whenever they abruptly stop using marijuana. Users today have very high grade marijuana available which wasn't the situation 2 decades ago, making it a much bigger issue.

Somebody who uses marijuana frequently is significantly changing how the brain functions, hence the brain can't just automatically readjust to normal operation when the person stops using marijuana, this can take some time. People actually detox from marijuana, like any other drug, as marijuana is eliminated from your body and the body readjusts to normal operation without marijuana. So marijuana detox is usually a challenge for long-term users, because users will experience withdrawal symptoms that may be tough to endure. These symptoms may 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 chronic users. This is the reason relapse is so prevalent for those who try and cease using marijuana on their own. Marijuana detox services are available at alcohol and drug detox and drug and alcohol rehab facilities in Pinehurst to help people through this process so they don't relapse and can obtain further rehabilitation services following detox.
