can quitting weed make you more tired then you felt before hand?

Whrn your body runs out of thc, it breaks down stored THC in fat cells. These stored thc can be stored upto 10years. Whrn you quit your body meltd down the fat to get to these little pockets filled with THC your body sweats (even in winter) mainly at night, THAT'S your body digging out THC and filling it in receptors hence you feeling HIGH, and fatigue etc

I've been smoking for about 10 years. I'm 33. I quit last Friday so I've been sober for 9 days. Enough was enough. I'm starting a new job next month so I have another 3 weeks to recover some more. It's a really good, well-paid job and I hope it's the springboard to a new, sober life where I'm maximising my potential.
The lethargy I'm experiencing this week is absolutely brutal. The insomnia was worse in the first week, so I guess withdrawal has several stages. I'm sure it will peak soon and start to get better though.

I'm amazed at how similar everyone's account of withdrawal is. This proves - for me at least- that physical withdrawal from weed is a very real thing, and that way more studies need to be carried out.

I think the legalisation of weed in growing areas of the world is a big, big mistake. This is clearly an addictive and highly destructive drug which stealthily takes over your life over a long period of time.

I pity the addicts who still smoke and glorify it as some sort of way to enhance your life. It isn't. It turns you into a demotivated, lazy s*** head with no memory and no emotions. You end up living in a kind of dream world where nothing really matters day-to-day, so long as you can smoke your joints at your scheduled times. You can't plan anything. You can't build on anything. You become a heartless, thoughtless zombie who does the bare minimum to get by.

It's truly awful, and congratulations to all of you who have started on this journey of quitting. Never, ever, ever again will I touch that garbage. We're all better than that.

I just quit a week ago and I’m totally exhausted for no reason. Ughhh. I won’t go back though! We can do this!

me too. I'm sleepy and tired more than ever.

Reading these comments and I’m in the same boat. From 12-25 I smoked weed and for the last 6 years it was solid everyday maybe longer. I’ve not smoked in over a month, and yes like you guys I’m tired!! Even after 7-10 hours sleep I wake up get food and literally go back to sleep for an hour. I’ve tried to change my routine I go for runs n lifts weights. I now eat more food than I’ve ever have. My diet used to consist on sausage and egg baguette and spliffs :L I had more energy then now I do now. It’s mad hopefully don’t last.

100% to your comment. All the best in your knee job dude. Wish I put the roach down sooner. Just to busy in my own bubble. Now I kicked my 10 year partner away from being to depressive n aggy finally picked up the courage to put the plant down.

Appreciate your help mate, experiencing the same thing (always tired) 2 weeks down now.

I am 34. Have been smoking everyday since I was 18. Can’t believe it’s been 16 years but anyways I quit and today I’m on day 10. I am SO EXHAUSTED. I wake up and have some energy but then it quickly depleted within an hour. Appetite came back within 4 days. You are not alone my friend

This is crazy !! This is the first site i found that mentions tiredness . All the other sites tell the exact opposite.
I feel very grateful for having found that so many people are going through the same thing.
I quit 2 months ago and the first 10 days where hell but then was running very regularly, like once a day. I suddenly stopped cuz was feeling a bit fluy 10days ago and then the tiredness just crashed on me and now I m sleeping all the time. I m happy I read this post. And i think its true, brain needs to reajust having endorphins from something. I wasn’t smoking alot but daily and it was extremely high THC content (even though doses were minimal)
I was taking huge doses of magnesium and running nearly daily and i think I need to go back to that to get the endorphins otherwise your brain just cant handle it.
Good luck to all and YES were making it!!!
Feels great to have fellow team mates

Absolutely false! Anxiety is most certainly associated with THC withdrawal.

Actually, studies have shown it stops REM sleep so it certainly can suppress dreaming.

I agree exhaustion to the point of sleeping 10 hours a day, and still being tired, has to be due to withdrawal from extended use

I think its true, Im 7 days in and experiencing extreme fatigue. Did John Hopkins smoke weed? lol...

Thank you for posting this! I smoked daily for 12 years and Im on day 7. Its brutal, Im extremely tired, agitated, emotional, etc. I agree, I think making weed legal is a mistake. Its going to create more addicts. Yes, it made me lazy, isolated, non-motivated and my brain was always foggy. My brains already working better 7 days in! I work 8 hours, and go to NA meetings every day. Its the only way I can do it. Ive tried to quit 5x with no success. Yes, weed is truly the devils lettuce in my eyes and people who still smoke say they are addicted are full of sh*t! I would love if we could all check in with each other to see where were at and what were doing to deal with this addiction. There is strength in numbers...

whoops are not addicted....TYPO
