If cannabis is smoked or abused for a long period of time, it can have detrimental effects on a user’s health, from which it can sometimes be difficult to recover. There is a myth that cannabis is less addictive or stronger than other drugs.
This simply isn’t true. Get in touch with us today at Asana Lodge if you or someone you love is struggling with a cannabis addiction and is thinking of a detox programme to help them get back on their feet and into sobriety.
Do I Need A Cannabis Detox?
Get in touch with us today at Asana Lodge if you or a loved one is exhibiting the following symptoms that indicate cannabis addiction. It is at this stage that you should investigate detox options:
- Anxiety
- Lost libido
- Lack of interest in eating
- Aggression
- Depression
- Secrecy regarding cannabis use
- Irritability
- Anger
- Paranoia
- Insomnia and or/troubling dreams
When you smoke cannabis, your dopamine levels rise because the body produces more of this hormone. This is why an extreme ‘high’ and state of happiness is achieved. However, continued abuse of cannabis can result in a dependence forming over time, as more cannabis needs to be ingested to achieve the desired feelings of pleasure.
As a result, a user can slip into feelings of depression as they rely on cannabis to feel upbeat or happy. By undertaking a detox programme at our deluxe facility at Asana Lodge, we can help you break free from cannabis abuse for good and live a clean, sober life.

How Long Will It Take to Detox from Cannabis?
Although it is considered a ‘softer’ drug in comparison to crack cocaine, cannabis can still produce some debilitating side effects in a user when they detox from it. In heavy cannabis users, chemical changes take place in the brain, meaning that the brain relies heavily on cannabis in order to function at a normal level. During a cannabis detox, you will experience symptoms of withdrawal.
Mental side effects include:
- Depression
- Lack of interest/motivation
- Trouble with memory
- Difficulty concentrating
- Confusion
- Lack of clarity and articulation
Physical side effects of cannabis withdrawal include:
- Sweating and clammy hands/palms
- Feeling extremes of hot or cold
- Stomach/digestive issues
- Headaches
- Nausea
- Tremors/shaking
