It may not effect you, I mean you have been only smoking the stuff for 5 years, which is a long time, but compared to some people here that's no time at all. It effects people differently, I have a friend that has been smoking for years everyday and has no problems quiting. For me, I have a job where I travel a lot by plane and I have to make sure to stop at least a week before I leave or else I won't be able to do my job. I can't sleep at night, I get the cold sweats, anxiety and massive headaches. I have been smoking everyday for the last 10 years and every time I try and stop it's the same thing. It usually only lasts 3-7 days. You just have to ride it out. It's a terrible thing, most people don't realize that it's a drug, you can get addicted to it, just like coffee, tea or cigarettes.
How many times have you heard people say
"marijuana is not addictive"
as they take a fat rip off of a Jay.
Denial can be an ugly and sometimes pathetic thing.
If you want to quit marijuana you have to disassociate yourself with your smoking buddies completely. They probably aren't real friends anyway. I broke off several long term friendships with people who kept talking into smoking again. They are hopelessly addicted, but they believe that they are not. It is so obvious. Propose to a marijuana smoker that weed is addictive and many of them will become extremely defensive and stadoffish about weed being healthy for you (I've heard it so many times). I think I have only met one other weed-head ever who was able to admit that his weed use was an addiction and that he would quit if he could. He told me that withdrawals from weed aren't all that different from his previous meth addiction, the symptoms are the same, just a bit more subtle.
Marijuana withdrawal can make you feel like you are going crazy, you have to fight through it, and small amounts of excercise help a huge amount in the beginning.

I want to stop but if I go 2 hours without a spliff I start going crazy I get angry and paranoid. I want to stop so bad, the guilt is killing me.I feel like I am wasting my life. I used to be vibrant and funny now my every waking hour revolves around weed.I wont go on holiday even though I can afford it because the weed rules all and I cant smoke anywhere but home. I truly am a mess and found this thread whilst looking for inspiration to quit. I remember the times before weed when I loved life and had good friends, now I have weed smoking harpies who are only here because we share a passion for the disgusting habit and I know I need to dump them and get back to some normality but its hard been smoking 16yrs and have surrounded myself with smokers.sh*t I feel trapped.
Ive been smoking LOADS of Pot since I was 15 years old, Im 28 now, & finally decided, Ive Have enough..$350p week, its has certainly robbed me of what I could of done with my life, I havnt smoked now for 30 days, I felt really good at first, I even think I sleep better, but wake up more tired.. I feel irritable, & Lonely.. Im thinking it because It was such a big part of my life, that helped me run away & 4get...It a terrible cycle to be caught up in, day in day out... really just want to feel good again.. I think its not the addition that been hard for me, its the routine, & habit thats hard to brake... when will it get better...????
I am 55 years old. I have been smoking pot since I was 17 years old. As time went on, it became my daily salvation. I begin to believe that I couldn't do anything without being stoned. In fact, I am a professional and actually found that pot motivated me whereas without it I didn't want to do anything.
I don' know what happened, but I purposely stopped smoking a week ago. It's been hard but then not. It's hard because of the physical withdrawals, and then there's the changing my way of thinking about it.
I am agitated a lot now. I'm sleeping a full night, but I can't eat. I'm already a small person and do not need to lose weight. A couple of times during this first week, I wanted to break out a joint just so that I could eat dinner. But I didn't. I want this stuff out of my system. I want to live a normal life without addiction.
I drink a lot of water naturally, but I do not exercise. I want to get the THC out of my system NOW! but after a lifetime of smoking I can't expect it to just disappear.
All I can say is that I am proud of myself for making this step. I have told everyone who knows I smoke that I am quitting to give me more accountability. Everyone pray for me. I am stronger than a marijuana joint!

Im 14 smoking since I was 13 . could last weeks in summer without any weed at all then i sstarted highschool (smoking every day) and every morning I feel sick until I smoke . If i dont smoke it goes away before lunch but comes back the next day even worse. I think I should do what I did when I was 13 . only smoke once a week.
don't worry your just an attention seeker. "oh no, after 10 sheshes I think I have a problem".
your not addicted buddy, and you never was.

Going through a lot of the same symptoms as you guys. My stomach feels weird, but I think it is actually coming from my lower lung area. I have a loss of appetite. I am not having any trouble sleeping, it's staying awake that I am struggling with. I have stopped and quit many times before and this is the only time I can remember that it really bothered me this bad and this long. I typically could shake it off within three days. I think I exercised which made it go away faster, and reading this thread helped remind me of that so I am going to try that again. Whenever I had to stop to take a drug test for a job, I would put a garbage bag over me, and run in place until I started sweating really bad, stopping once I started getting way too hot. This really helped, but it is dangerous and now I am older, so I better not try that again. I think I will just do some push ups until I get tired.
I noticed that smoking cigarettes enhances these nasty feelings I have in my chest and stomach, but quitting both habits at once is torture, and I have done that before too. I lasted a year and half and started back at both. Stupid mistake. I didn't have any withdraws that made it come back, I made a dumb choice on my own to start again. If you do quit, stay done with it. It isn't worth it. You'll just have to quit again at some point and it will continue to get harder each time as you grow older.
My body keeps saying, drink beer. But I know if I do, that I will just feel like c**p. I hate beer and I hate the feeling of being drunk. It's funny how desperate the body can get. It's like trying to hold on to this synthetic garbage of a life style, not knowing that the clean life-style is what it truly wants and needs to be happy. Try convincing your body of that, impossible. You have to force it to play along.
To people feeling like c**p right now, just keep going. It doesn't last forever, nothing does except death. Don't allow yourself to get depressed, watch a funny TV show or movie when you feel like that. This is an internal struggle that only you can fix. Don't try using other chemicals to beat another, only an id**t like Newton would say something like that. Just tough it out. Try not to think about it, get active in something, write, read, exercise, walk outside, do something other than just sit on the couch all day. If you can't concentrate, then don't read or work on something cognitive, find something you can do with your hands that is almost mindless, like exercise or play basketball. The sweat will do you good. Drink lots of water to replenish what you lose. In your fight against this feeling, your two best friends are sweat and water.
Good Luck! I'm right there with you.

withdrawl from cannabis is a physical and psycological thing that is is real especially with cronic use.
taking in healthy nuts like walnuts and eating fruits in morning and night supply the brain with nutrients to stay healthy as well as taking alot of fish oil drinking water throughout the day. trying relaxing with classical music or ambient music, trying to deep breath into the abdomen. the brain can and will regenerate its a fact now. there is allways hope the healthier you eat and excercise like yoga or walking will just accelerate the process.

i have been smoking since i was sixteen and now im forty. i smoked weed like it was going out of style. i have been clean now for 32 days and the only real side effects i have noticed is anxiety and occasional headaches( which i still experience now). oh yes, i also experienced incredibly vivid weird dreams for about the first two weeks. i quit smoking cigarettes when i was twenty eight and i compensated with more weed. i grew up watching my dad smoke weed and the first time i remember seeing him smoke was when i was 3 yrs old. he was pots greatest supporter. now at forty i think my lungs are almost shot and just one hit off a pipe and i could hardly breathe. i have always wanted to quit for several reasons ie. money wise, health wise and just to be able to go on an airplane and not have to worry about taking a stash. since i have quit, my breathing problems have slowly subsided and i feel like i have truly begun to have this issue behind me. i hope the feelings of anxiety and the minor headaches will also subside, as i am sure they will. let this be a lesson and fore- warning to anyone thinking of starting smoking to understand that it may seem harmless, but it can be very hard to quit and can seriously affect your health and general reasoning. good luck to you all.
I smoke pot to deal with severe IBS. It could be that your marijuana use was masking symptoms of a digestive problem.
Suck on ice cubes if you can't keep water down. It's also a nice distraction.

I'm 5 days sober from weed. I was selling weed for 7 years to support my 14 gram a day habit. Im terribly addicted. haven't had a job in 7 years besides slangin dope. This sh*t ruined me. i'm mentally screwed right now. i know it will get alot better. i'm so much more confident and actually enjoy making eye contact for more than 2 seconds when having a conversation. Weeds not for everyone.
I am 21 an have smoked pot for about 2 years straight. Would smoke about a quarter in 3 days roughly. I then moved home from where i was at and had a little puff the first week i was home, i have then decided to quit smoking up. The second week the withdrawls were so intene i felt like i was dying, I had alot of flu like symptoms such as:
-Sweats
-Upset stomach
-Loss of appitite
-Major headaches
-Minor Insomnia (witch i now take a med called Zopiclone 7.5mg to sleep,[just started them homfully to get back on a regular sleeping pattern by the end of the week])
-Body Aches and pains
-Slight depression
-Mood swings
-Short term minor memory loss(more less a cloudy head)
-Weekness/fatigue
-Anxiety
Now all these symptoms are starting to dull and lessen each day that passes and its been 3 weeks since i quit. I have heard stories of people who quit and never felt the clarity and normal body behaviour for years after they quit. (But then again each persons body is different and reacts different, not to mention you never know exactly what your smoking if your buying it from someone else.) As i mentioned above aout the Insomnia- This is huge and really needs some attention more so than the other symptoms as loss of sleep can cause major organs faliure after so long. I have been awake for about 2 days straight before i started to take the ZOPICLONE(this product is not available in the US, but there are other meds to take for this sleep loss). The insomnia didnt really start untill the 3rd day into the second week of the withdrawl, before this i have beento the ER and my family doctor atleast 8-10 times wondering what was wrong with me. They kept on telling me it was anxiety and i didnt believe them, they even gave me meds to controll my anxiety. After i ruled it out and pieced it all together that the majority of my symptoms sound like withdrawl i quickly googled it and to my relief found that it was withdrawls. This then made alot of my worry on what was wrong with me go away, however. . . The headaches and body pains are somewhat hard to bare at times. My appitite has since then returned and the stomach upset is gone (this was the anxiety!) The weekeness and fatigue is slighty there at days due to the meds and the cleansing of my body, the main thing you guys suffering from this needs is rest and exercise(weather its push ups a few times a day or a jog outside for 15 mins) just make sure you sweat atleast once er twice a day to get that old remaining THC out of your blood stream. They say it takes an actual 3 months before the THC is completely gone from the blood stream, now considering I have smoked ALOT more than the average amount they talk about I came to par that it could and probably will take more than 3 months to fully feel rejuvinated. As for the insomnia this could only take a few meds and a calming hot bath every night to ease your mind back into its natural state.. your body does heal itself upon resting! My insomnia is to the point where i start to "doze off" i feel this weird feeling overcome my body like a surge of energy witch then inturns wakes me up.. this happens every single time i try to sleep hence the 'Zopiclone'. This might not be nessessary for everyone however as i said above our bodies are all different. If anyone has any questions or even would like to talk about there pains and aches.. or just simply want someone to talk to about this hard burdden feel free to email me at: ***this post is edited by moderator *** *** private e-mails not allowed **

or even add me to msn, i understand how hard it is for some people to deal with and in my case i couldnt even tell people the truth about my illness because of family issues. Were dealing with this alone but we must stick together if you all get me. Anyways i hope this information has helped in some way or form to understand things and atleast get a basic idea of what you could be or are going through. Keep in mind i went cold turkey. . other ways to reduce this is to start slowly and slow down on the intake of the THC day by day. Take care and good luck to you all =)
