In spite of what efforts to legalize and popular culture wants you to believe, it is a proven and scientific indisputable fact that marijuana can be an addictive drug which can cause both acute and long-term physical and psychological harm to users. Much like other substances, a person who has used marijuana for an extended time period will become dependent on its effects and may encounter withdrawal symptoms when they initially quit using marijuana. Users today have very high grade marijuana available which wasn't true two decades ago, which makes it an even larger issue.

Somebody who uses marijuana regularly is really altering how the brain functions, so the brain can't just automatically return to normal function as soon as the person stops 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 could be a challenge for habitual users, because users will encounter withdrawal symptoms which are often challenging to endure. These symptoms might not be as physical in nature as heroin withdrawal for instance, but marijuana detox and withdrawal could cause extreme depression along with other mental symptoms for long-term users. For this reason relapse is so prevalent for individuals who try and quit using marijuana by themselves. Marijuana detox services are offered at drug detoxification and drug rehab programs in Lost City to help individuals through this process so that they don't relapse and may receive further treatment services after detoxification.
