ya then you quit and start coughing that's real pleasant when trying to get your lungs to be better

i've smoked since i was 18 too, 10 years later, my lungs haven't handled it the best

for those that can afford it, I'd recommend drop a $1000, take you and your honey somewhere nice like the Caribbean and the warm sun will make you forget you ever wanted smoething like the dro

of course, it's a lot harder to quit when you have an o stashed away

Until 4 months ago I had been smoking weed everday, just about all day, for 6 years. I transferred colleges and realized that none of my friends smoked. Although I went about my daily life, going to class, working out, working, etc. I had to be high no matter what I did. Then I slowly realized I wasn't smoking as much because I wasn't surrounded by people always wanting to sit around and smoke blunts all day and night. I didn't smoke for three days because I had completely lost my voice one saturday night. The day I got my voice back I packed up a bong and smoked it in my room all by myself for about two hours. I stood up to make a snack and the last thing i remember is taking a bite of a strawberry and my vision turning black. Next thing, I wake up with my four roommates surrounding me on the floor talking about calling an ambulence. I don't know what the f*** happened, but it freaked me out. After that I decided do this detox system I had heard about, famously known as the Master Cleanser. It seriously has worked wonders. I don't even want to smoke now. I feel completely healthy and free. I love smoking grass, it's just not something I do anymore. I feel completely alive and rejuvinated. If you are trying to quit. Give the Master cleanse a shot. It takes some will power, but the results are worth it.

I believe there are no real withdrawel symptoms, it all depends on the person. I have been bunnin weed for long now and i did find when you quit you do feel slightly depressed, probably due to the fact i find smoking weed socialable, theres nothing better than sitting down after a hard days work with a few mates and get kained off the head...love it. To be honest tho when i did quit i felt much more awake, its easier to get up in the mornings and you are generally on the ball more, your diet improves and so does your general lifestyle, however smoking weed in small amounts is the dogs bolloks and as long as you proportion life its all good! So carry on sparking boys and girls!

Weed is totally, utterly addictive and anyone saying otherwise is wrong!. I smoked every day for 15 years and finally stopped 2 weeks ago. I was a total wake and bake case. Since stopping I have had night sweats, nausea, insomnia, a hacking cough and mucus from every orifice. It is extremely unpleasant to go through and very, very, very hard. But, totally worth it. I have never had so much clarity in my life. I look forward to a happier and more energetic future. I NEVER thought I would or could stop and I have- I feel like there is hope. I am still going through terrible withdrawals, still sweating and currently feel like I have the worst flu ever, but I refuse to give up. Life is too short to be walking around in a daze. Or to be so stoned you can't leave the house. To everyone that wants to stop: break that cycle and keep going, it's so worth it.

I quit smoking pot about 2 weeks ago and the first week I was the grumpiest jerk in the room. I was looking for any excuse to start smoking again. I would start fights with my wife and then blame it on the lack of pot and use that as an excuse to get some. I would eventually get over it and stick to my guns of quitting. My "dealer" is also a very good friend so I told him what I was doing and told him to cut me off regardless of how much I beg and/or plead. He has been absolutely wonderful helping me out. I have only called him twice and both times he told me to walk it off and get my head out of my butt.

Most of my withdrawal symptoms have been mental and usually brought on as an excuse to start smoking again but I do have one physical side effect and I don't know if anyone else suffers from it or if I should be concerned. I have been sweating A LOT. I even went Pedro and shaved my head bald because I heard about the heat from your body being released through your head. Even after shaving my head, if I don't have an A/C or fan blowing directly on me then I sweat like I just worked out for an hour or ran a mile. I'm sweating bullets as I type this post.

Has anyone else suffered from this withdrawal symptom or is it something all together different and not associated with me quitting pot?

Hello everyone,

Just wanted to share my story with you on my decision to quit pot.

I've been smoking marijuana for the past 19 years. Yikes! I've decided to quit the pot due to it's side effects. I'm feeling the motivational syndrome (don't feel like doing anything), depression, lack of confidence to drive, having excuses to not see friends or family on the weekends (weekends I binge smoke) and feeling like I'm directing my soul to hell. Also, my relationships are being affected.

I'm attending an Addiction Counselling Centre which is kinda helping me. My counsellor said that I need to quit b/4 going to a residential treatment centre (which can take up to 3 weeks). I thought, I'd better go to a Detox Centre first. I'm to stay there for 3-5 days.

I shared these ideas with my husband (who is also addicted to marijuana). People have been telling me that I would have a hard time quitting b/c my husband is an addict. When I told him that I could be away from him for 3-5 days, he said that he felt sad that I was going away. He then started telling me how the affects of his addiction is causing him to have no energy and mental alertness (he's starting to put in his mind that pot is not good for him). He's now planning to not smoke around me and to withdraw from the pot eventually. This is good news b/c he has always said that he would never quit pot b/c it served him well. God has been listening to my and my mother's prayers.

I've quit Paxil (used for depression), "cold turkey" in my past and know too well the withdrawals I was affected with. It almost sounds like the withdrawals of marijuana. I'm a little scared b/c I had negative spiritual experiences as well. I"m not saying that this happens to most people, however, I'm just explaining what happened to me. I went through anxieties, cold sweats, confusion and lack of sleep for 2 weeks. On one of the occations I felt a negative entity around me. I went to my mother's room and asked her to pray for me at my bedside. When she finished I asked her if she could sleep with me. Which was odd b/c I was in my 30's. She giggled and proceeded to lie with me. Then she heard the tapping of a spiritual entity on my bed post. It was as if it were saying to my mother "Leave the bed". Then she told me that she couldn't sleep with me b/c of what she felt. I said to her, "I knew there was something (evil) bothering me. It was as if the devil had a strong foothold on me.

Therefore, I"m a little nervous that this experience can happen again if I quit pot. However, at the same time I feel courageous and just want to nip this addiction by the bud. Today will be day 1 of being pot free. I've heard that others went through 30 days of withdrawal symptoms. I'm not sure if I should get natural remedies to help me with the suffering. But, when I really think of it, I'd rather suffer so that I may never return to smoking pot.

I've come to a point of my life that the pot doesn't work for me anymore. It makes me feel depressed (or course it does, it's a depressant), dirty, have racing thoughts, can't concentrate during a conversation, hopeless, panic attacks, hard to make decisions, makes me eat more, lazy etc. With all these symptoms, I continued to smoke. When I did smoke I would ask myself, "Why am I hurting myself"? Every day, for about 2 weeks, I prayed to God, Jesus, and Mother Mary to help me have the will to quit. For me to quit for 1 day was hard for me. Well the prayers worked b/c I don't have the will to smoke it anymore. When I think to myself, "What if I smoked once"? Immediately, my mind reminds me of the hardships I will face again. I consider this a miracle b/c weed corrupts the mind and I am only on day 2 (day 2 b/c I'm editing my note the next day) and shouldn't I be going through serious temptations for weed still? It is in my system. All I have to say is that prayers do work if you mean it from the heart.

Hoping everyone who wants to quit have strength. Be gentle with yourselves...don't beat yourselves up!

I will post my withdrawal experiences soon. Maybe after a week I will let you know what symptoms I'm experiencing.

Peace!
