Despite what initiatives to legalize and today's culture wants you to believe, it's a proven and scientific indisputable fact that marijuana is definitely an addictive substance which may cause both acute and long-term physical and psychological harm to users. Like other substances, someone who has used marijuana for a prolonged period of time can become addicted to its effects and may encounter withdrawal symptoms if they abruptly stop using marijuana. Users today have very high grade marijuana available which wasn't the case twenty years ago, making it a much larger problem.

Somebody who uses marijuana often is significantly changing how the brain functions, and so the brain can't just instantly readjust to normal function when the person ceases using marijuana, this could take some time. People actually detox from marijuana, like any other drug, as marijuana is eliminated from the body and the body readjusts to function without marijuana. So marijuana detox could be a challenge for long-term users, because individuals will encounter withdrawal symptoms which may be difficult to endure. These symptoms may not be as physical as it is with heroin withdrawal for instance, but marijuana detox and withdrawal could cause extreme depression as well as other mental symptoms for chronic users. This is why relapse is so prevalent for individuals who try and cease using marijuana by themselves. Marijuana detox services can be obtained at drug and alcohol detoxification and alcohol and drug rehab facilities in Norway to help individuals through this process so they don't relapse and can receive further rehabilitation services after detox.
