In spite of what efforts to legalize and popular culture wants you to think, it's a verified and scientific proven fact that marijuana is an addictive drug which can lead to both acute and long-term physical and mental injury to users. Similar to other substances, a person who has used marijuana for a prolonged time period will become addicted to its effects and will experience withdrawal symptoms should they initially stop using marijuana. Users today have very high grade marijuana available which wasn't true 10-20 years ago, making it a much bigger problem.

Someone that uses marijuana regularly is significantly changing how the brain functions, hence the brain can't just automatically readjust to normal operation once the person ceases using marijuana, this could take time. People actually detox from marijuana, like every other drug, as marijuana is eliminated from the body and the body readjusts to function without marijuana. So marijuana detox is usually a challenge for habitual users, because users will experience withdrawal symptoms which are often hard to endure. These symptoms might not be as physical as it is with heroin withdrawal as an example, but marijuana detox and withdrawal may cause severe depression along with other mental symptoms for chronic users. That is why relapse is really common for those who attempt to cease using marijuana on their own. Marijuana detox solutions are available at alcohol and drug detoxification and drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers in Window Rock to help people through this process so that they don't relapse and can receive further treatment services following detoxification.
