Despite what efforts to legalize and popular culture wants you to think, it's a verified and scientific fact that marijuana is definitely an addictive substance which can bring about both acute and long-term physical and psychological harm to users. Much like other substances, anyone who has used marijuana for a prolonged period of time will become hooked on its effects and will experience withdrawal symptoms should they initially quit using marijuana. Users today have extremely high grade marijuana at their disposal which wasn't the case twenty years ago, making it a much larger issue.

Someone that uses marijuana regularly is significantly changing the way the brain functions, hence the brain can't just instantly return to normal function when the individual ceases using marijuana, this will take some time. People actually detox from marijuana, like every other drug, as the drug 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 encounter withdrawal symptoms that may be hard to endure. These symptoms might not be as physical as it is with heroin withdrawal for instance, but marijuana detox and withdrawal may cause severe depression as well as other psychological symptoms for chronic users. This is why relapse is so common for individuals who try to cease using marijuana by themselves.
