In spite of what efforts to legalize and popular culture would lead you to think, it's a proven and conclusive proven fact that marijuana is an addictive substance which can cause both acute and long-term physical and psychological injury to users. Similar to other drugs, someone who has used marijuana for a prolonged time period can become dependent on its effects and will encounter withdrawal symptoms if they abruptly quit using marijuana. Users today have extremely high grade marijuana at their disposal which wasn't the case 10-20 years ago, which makes it an even bigger problem.

Someone that uses marijuana often is significantly altering how the brain functions, hence the brain can't just instantly return to normal operation when the person stops using marijuana, this can take some time. Individuals actually detox from marijuana, like any other drug, as the drug 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 individuals will encounter withdrawal symptoms which are often difficult to endure. These symptoms may not be as physical as it is with heroin withdrawal as an example, but marijuana detox and withdrawal may cause severe depression and other psychological symptoms for long-term users. For this reason relapse is really common for those who try to cease using marijuana on their own. Marijuana detox solutions are offered at drug and alcohol detox and drug rehabilitation centers in Letona to help individuals through this process so that they don't relapse and may receive further rehabilitation services after detoxification.
