Cannabis Detox

Cannabis Detox

Cannabis detox and withdrawal refers to a group of symptoms which are likely to occur from suddenly stopping the use of cannabis after chronic or prolonged periods of the use of this drug.

Most people who have been abusing cannabis for a long period of time will experience some form of withdrawal symptoms once they do try to stop using. The severities of these symptoms are usually dependent upon just how much and how frequently the person has been using.

When someone who has become addicted to cannabis, it is not advised to just quit as they will experience some level of physical discomfort. For this reason, it is extremely difficult for them to merely stop using without some kind of assistance and support.

Although these symptoms are uncomfortable and irritating, they are not necessarily dangerous. The withdrawal aspect might involve some of the following symptoms:

  • Craving
  • Sleep difficulty / Insomnia
  • Weight loss
  • Aggression / Anger
  • Irritability
  • Anxiety
  • Restlessness
  • Headaches
  • Hot/cold flushes
  • Aching muscles
  • Decreased appetite

Regular users of cannabis may previously have tried to stop, however we recommend a cannabis detox at a professional, reputable clinic, where users will not only be given support for the physical withdrawal from cannabis but also receive the emotional and mental support needed to successfully withdraw from cannabis.

The benefit for those who are dependent and looking to detoxify is that within a detox centre, many symptoms can be alleviated and even eliminated with proper medical treatment.
