feelings of incoherentness or dizziness from marijuana withd

"I just quit smoking ganji about 7 days ago and i get these dizzy spells where i feel i cant catch my breath.but then again i was smoking poppers for about 5 years straight"

I think I know what the problem is, you have asthma and marijuana was helping it

I have the same thing, only very mild asthma that usually doesn't affect me. I know that it seems to be silly since smoke in your lungs are bad for you, and that's not including the extra chemicals that might be added into the plant that you don't know about.

But, THC is an anti-inflammatory. There are two causes of asthma, one is airway constriction and the other is airway inflammation. The cause of your asthma, or even a mild shortness of breath is because your body's cardio vascular system isn't used to operating without the THC. You should probably be fine after a month with some mild exercise like jogging to compensate. If you have more serious asthma symptoms though I would recommenced seeing a doctor

Sorry for the science lesson, but it's all from personal experience myself so I know how you feel.

I'm experiencing something similar as well. About 5 days ago I smoked a joint with a friend and got pretty high. I usually smoke once a week on friday/saturday nights but it's nothing crazy and this time wasn't any different.

I woke up the next day and still felt like I was living a dream. Like I wasn't euphoric or in a full-out high, I could control myself and acted normally, but every few minutes I'd think like (wait what just happened, what did I just do, etc.). It's like I was just mindlessly acting although I was acting like my normal self, if that makes any sense 8-|

The feelings been fading throughout the week for sure, its been 5 days and I feel like its only a minor issue. Actually I don't even see it as an issue at all, I kind of enjoy this state of being kind of dazed..but I definitely want to be back at normal functioning and this better not happen every time I smoke.

I can remember something similar happening when I smoked last summer. I smoked about 2x a day for a week when I went down the shore, and when I arrived back home I still felt high a couple days later. I think that time the feeling was stronger but it wore off a lot faster...this time the feeling is more mild but it's taking soo long to wear off. I've also heard stories of people who have been like this for a month! o.O

i quit three days ago. this is happening to me and its scaring me awfully. i just saw this page and posted my reply before reading more than the first submission because i am SO relieved this is happening to others. i'm the heaviest smoker i know so i'm really scared. bless all you folks.

Well ive been smoking marijuana for about 5 years everyday give or take 20-30 days and i recently decided to quit. Ive been coughing up greyish black stuff and it kinda freaked me out, ino this may sound weird, but before i started smoking i felt like a super human or somthing, ever since ive been on pot ive never felt the same. Its been 3 days since i smoked last, this is the longest ive gone in my entire weed smoking life. My head is a lot clearer an i can focus easier, but ive been getting weird pulses in the right side of my brain every so often. Just in case your wondering i smoked usually over 6 times a day. Last night i couldnt sleep till 7am i stayed up 23 hours which isnt too long, but id rather sleep every 12 -14 hours. Im pretty much asking will i ever be back to the old self i used to be? I promised myself that i wouldnt smoke again, but last night i dremnt about smoking again and it felt like some of my soul or whatever you wanna call it left me. Im just disgusted i let myself sink this low to rely on this "drug" to get me through everyday. Somthing clicked in my head a few days ago that i need to stop or im going to end up like my father. What im trying to ask is can anyone help me with the time period on which ill be back to normal, i plan on never smoking ever again even though the four other people i live with smoke on a daily basis. Maybe its just me, but i feel superior now that i decided to quit somthing thats been controling me for a good portion of my life. Thanks for reading and fill free to messge me any questions your having, we all could use the help.

this can last up too 3 months, this is the lenght of time the psychoactives will remain in your body. just keep going and leave it well alone, you will get there

This happens to me when I drink and smoke weed or cigs. I hear my blood and if I stand up too long I see spots and will pass out eventually if I don't sit down. Sitting down I will get one ear ringing off and on while I heaf my blood like its by my eardrums and very tight feeling being off balance all of a sudden. Been smoking everyday since I was 16. I'm 25 now.

so i have only smoked about five times and everyday i get this feeling. it feels just like i was high and its getting really annoying. its pissing me off and i'm thinking of just going to the doctor and stuff. is that normal? its been like a month and a week since i stoped.

Hey all... I've smoked weed daily for over 10 years now. For a while it was constantly (20-30 minutes between bowls/ joints), but about 3 years ago I began to smoke on a schedule (3 times daily). The last year it has only been 2x daily. About a week ago I decided to quit. I finished my last bag, and started quitting today. So far it has been OK. I've got dizziness and a bit of anxiety. What I'm trying to say is this: for those of you who've been flipping out, your weed must be laced or mixed. I tried spice once and experienced many of the negative side effects described in above posts. However, anytime I've smoked weed I have never felt like I was going to die or lose it (LSD and shrooms are a different story!). On a side note, I recently had a TIA (mini stroke) due to extreme blood pressure (270/190). My doctor told me that the only reason it wasn't worse is because of cannabis, as it naturally lowers blood pressure. I don't know... If you're gonna smoke, KNOW YOUR SOURCE!!! I have (had) a friend who lost his mind because of smoking weed that was laced. The Dr. said it caused his body temp to run away with itself, causing brain damage. The point is, after going off of weed, your body is used to feeling a certain way and so it compensates for that. Being high becomes normal, and so being sober feels like you are messed up. Just stay positive and you'll be fine. Exercise is a good way to flush the THC out of your fat cells (and you'll feel high as hell when you're done!). Drink lots of water, use melatonin if you can't sleep. Everything will be back to normal before you know it. Also, don't do anything that makes you think about smoking; this will only make you miserable, and will also shake your resolve. Peace

Chad, it is probably not simply the weed that is doing it. I have had similar problems and it sounds like an allergic reaction. Your body gets tired, shuts down some brain activity so you feel extra stoned. Pot is an irritant so why you have suddenly become sensitive to it might be another story. For example candida, hypotyroidism or lyme disiease. Candida can be caused by moldy weed and lots of other things. Its more likely you have it if you eat unhealthy food. The body is continuously doing a balancing act to control bodily functions. If it gets disrupted symptoms such as dizziness, tiredness, hard to concentrate, bad dreams, joint and muscle pains, headaches, dry eyes, toothaches, nausea, sore throat, insomnia, flu-like symptoms, chest problems, stomach problems, weakness and a tingling sensation in the hands it may mean you have another problem than just weed. You will recognize these symptoms if you have struggled with them for a long time. For example if you have hyptyroidism and drink alcohol you might feel like youre getting a panic attack, get cold and dizzy.

You will be okay friend. The sweating is your body detoxing. Same thing happened to me. I used to be a heavy user who recently quit as well and I am experiencing the same symptoms. It will pass, give yourself time and patience. Your body is readjusting, and getting used to the lack of thc. I would recommend getting fish liver oil pills as they are loaded with Omega 3's and 6's which is precisely what your body needs a lot of right now. Trust me, supplement with these and you will feel a lot better. Drink a lot of water and try to sweat as much as possible.

I thought it was very nice to ask for prayers. I will definitely pray for you.

Dude don't worry you'll be fine.

Im 27 and I have been smoking pretty regularly for about 7-8 years, pretty much every day minus the occasional (and I do mean occasional) day off. I'd say this is the first time I've gone cold turkey since I became a habitual smoker about 4years ago. Im normally straight home from work, just as the morning weedeover has worn off and blaze right up. That's me.
I still really love ganja, and I think this is quite important - never blame it or hate it. If you have this hate relationship with ganj after stopping or cutting down, you will definitely feel guilt, which is not good at all. This will only increase anxieties. It's just part of the ride guys and gals! This stuff will pass and hopefully you can either find a better balance for you or just appreciate if you're going dive back in to the weed zone you'll have to do this all again. I should say I don't intend on quitting fully, I'm doing this to be able to control when I get high and not let it rule my daily decisions, such as which friends I go see because I'm top high for some of them, or which jobs I can do because my brains slowed up a bit.

Cold turkey.

Everyone gets the sweats. I had it bad for about 7 days - ask the girlfriend.

I actually had a migraine for the first time which was an experience, vertigo, dizziness, then light sensitivity and finally the banging head ache. This could be that the ganj stopped me from experiencing them before (my mum gets them) but the head ache has passed now.

Now I'm stuck in this occasional unsteady on my feet and definite weird feeling after eating ( thanks for the posts above put my mind at ease aswell!). Now I know this will finish at some point.

I've been told this all passes and for any one still getting super high all the time, skunk hybrids definitely makes this worse. A good quality hash reduces all of this massively - including any anxieties. You may even get the giggles again with some good hash. I've read this is due to a better cbd - thc balance. Skunk is almost empty of cbd and full of thc. That's why it gets you so damn blazed. Even that finishes in the end though and you'll have to smoke a whole blunt to buzz instead of a a quick pipe hit or bong.

As for god and jesus christ, I don't know if they are real, and I don't have time for it myself but if it helps you, it helps. I guess I'd say just don't ever prioritise religion over anything else important in your life. Ha even the herbbbbb.

To the guy above who's friend has had a schizophrenic episode, this is not your fault in any way! He must have had a disposition to schizophrenia and unfortunately the ganj may have triggered it. I see you posted over a year ago and I hope this has not become a major problem for you or him and that you read this and gives you some comfort. sh*t happens and it may have happened this time but again nothing you could have done. sh*t, we know the risks going in to most unhealthy or dangerous but fun situations. This is life. And normally at its best.

All the best my fellow current/former pot heads. I hope this finds you in good stead.

Ian - my real name.

shubham how much time did it take to cure pls rply havin same prob since 2 week

I'm expiernece this I've been a chronic weed smoker for 10years it's been 4days without it I'm surprised how good I feel but I'm getting really bad dizzy spells it freaks me out good to know it's normal withdrawal symptom but can I ask how long the dizzness last?

I don't know what you were smoking but marijuana won't make you skitzo after smoking once ? Your friend must have issues before and doing some other sh*t to mess him up ! Shrooms , acid , ect . So don't feel no ways !
