In spite of what efforts to legalize and popular culture would lead you to believe, it's a verified and scientific indisputable fact that marijuana is definitely an addictive drug which can bring about both acute and long-term physical and psychological harm to users. Much like other drugs, somebody who has used marijuana for a prolonged time period will become dependent on its effects and will experience withdrawal symptoms whenever they initially quit using marijuana. Users today have extremely high grade marijuana available which wasn't the case two decades ago, which makes it an even bigger problem.

Someone who uses marijuana on a regular basis is really altering how the brain functions, hence the brain can't just automatically return to normal function as soon as the person ceases using marijuana, this may take some time. People actually detox from marijuana, like any other drug, as marijuana is eliminated from the body and the body readjusts to normal operation without marijuana. So marijuana detox can be quite a challenge for habitual users, because users will experience withdrawal symptoms which can be challenging to endure. These symptoms may not be as physical as it is with heroin withdrawal for instance, but marijuana detox and withdrawal might cause severe depression and other mental symptoms for chronic users. That is why relapse is really prevalent for those who try to cease using marijuana by themselves. Marijuana detox services are offered at drug detox and drug rehab facilities in England to help individuals through this process so they don't relapse and can receive further treatment services following detox.
