how long do marijuana withdrawal symptoms last

Amen I know Your pain I'm 39 years old The anxiety is so bad I was crying in the hospital cause I thought I had lung cancer, My mom past from the disease on top of that I also smoked cigarettes so I quit smoking both at the same time, I have to say it has been The harderst thing I ever had to face besides burrying my mother. My wife and kids think I'm going crazy I can't sleep at night also my joints Are in pain I have smoked pot for 20 years . So for all u newbies out there find a better way

Ive not smoked a joint now for 5 days now after smoking every day for 3 and a half years apart from a few days. im getting hot flushes and am having irregular bowel movement, ive not (yet) experienced sleepless nights, but after reading some of the posts on here im starting to that the worst is yet to come... I could murder a fat one right now but i need to sort this out for the sake of my sanity. well done to all who r managing to keep away from this Beautiful plant we all use to love . ( at one time ) keep it up.. ps i find going to bed with your earphones in takes your mind off it.. ! Keep it up all and stay focused, all the best to u all

Ive quit smoking weed after being caught by mom, she went crazy and promised to her i would stop nd never do it again (wich idk if that will stay like that forever) but i wasn't a usual smoker due to the lack of ability to obtain it regularly but i first tried it in 7th grade and did not get addicted i always thought i wouldn't get addicted to it till about 6 months ago. Before that i had already tried it like 10 time ok back to the story i smoke about half a gram daily if i smoked by myself if not it would be no more than 2 grams.the first daily of not smoking was the easiest because i had the most motivation today I'm on my 5th day and i believe its been the most hard but i plan to keep my promise like the man i am

Im on my 5th day sober and I've already experience the hot flushes.

I smoked weed for thirty six years of my life I am now 53 and I can tell you it will drain your finances eventually. Your husband may have just had enough. We create these problems with this addiction and we expect instant forgiveness . In terms of the withdrawals I am on day 35 of no weed and most of the really bad withdrawals have gone away the sweating ,and loss of appetite have passed it's just a series of bad dreams now. Take the advice of chronic abuser stop now before you lose your future.

Hey all, wanted to share my experiences with withdrawal symptoms for anyone who's going through the struggle to quitting. First off, I commend you because it took a lot for me to quit. It's been only a week, but I feel so much better already. I've been smoking since about 19-20, but didn't start heavily smoking until about 21-22. I am almost 26, so I've been a chronic smoker for some time. I guess you could say I was spoiled as I've always and only smoked dro, just really dank sh*t because at least one of my friends would always be slangin. During one summer when I was about 22, I found a guy who had the most dank bud I ever saw. It was Bubba kush, and God it was so beautiful and stanky it was like killing a unicorn grinding it up. Anyways long story short I started only smoking this high grade stuff for about a year. That same summer, my parents took me and my sister to a Cancun trip. I didn't want to risk bringing any, because my parents are very strict and uptight Asian parents. I thought what the heck I'll just drink a lot of alcohol there and I'll be okay. Wrong. I noticed when I got to the hotel and we had to eat dinner, I couldn't  even take a bite. When it was time to sleep, I felt wide awake, like my whole body and mind was wired on addy. As the night went on, I started getting hot, then cold, and the sweats that some people have talked about, I had them. It was truly miserable. This went on about 2-3 days, and after the 3rd day I was finally able to sleep a for a few hours, but I still could barely eat. Fast forward after the trip, and I started smoking heavily again. I kept on smoking after the trip, and I eventually started smoking every single day at least 2-3 times a day. I bought a bong because I wanted to get the ultimate high and smoked like a champ. I would brag about how much smoke I could intake, and how I could smoke so much more than my friends. The past year, I started having digestive issues. Like most chronic smokers, I was unable to eat unless I smoked. But now, I was starting to feel really bloated, like a belt was around my waist, stomach area and just felt really tight and constricted. I thought it was because of my poor diet, and I drank soda like everyday. So I stopped drinking soda cold turkey, started eating a little healthier. Still had the problems. I thought of every excuse besides the weed, because I just didn't want to quit. But I noticed some days I'd eat a lot, but I wouldn't be able to take a sh*t for 1-2 days. And when I did sh*t, it'd be an inordinate amount all at once. After exhausting all my issues, I decided to quit cold turkey. This time, I did not have sweats like I did the first time, and I was actually able to sleep for a few hours. I wonder if this is because I am not smoking good sh*t like the Bubba kush, but still white widow which is pretty good. I've noticed that I am actually LESS irritable since I've quit, I don't snap at my parents as much over little trivial sh*t. I feel more energetic, and my stomach is gradually feeling less pressure and little better. I still think about lighting one up every other hour, but I want to be able to enjoy it in moderate use, and not have to depend on just to function through the day. Like other people have said, try to keep yourself busy throughout the day so you don't cheat yourself. Exercise, and wear yourself out if you have trouble sleeping. It will defnitely help with your appetite too. No homo, but yoga really helps because it stretches your stomach and helps blood circulation. 

Ok. Im sorry. This has got to be a joke. Im sorry Im curt but there is no such thing as marijuana acute withdrawl. I dont doubt the symptoms you guys have but come on.... its not from the weed... ITS YOU! Get some help becuase thats why you turned to weed in the first place... to cope. Its no different from being ocd, addicted to religion, sex, chronic finger nail biter. These are all things that people drown in to cope with their lives. I commed yall for quiting becuase you obviously have issues that need to be worked out, but i cant sit here and let you guys blame it on "marijuana." When I was in college I used marijuana daily. During college I tried to quit and experiened all of the irrability and vivid dreams that i am reading here and I thought i was addicted. HA yea right! Fast forward to now. I am a 25 year old professional who has been battling an oxycodone ADDICTION and a Xanax DEPENDANCE and now smoking THC COCENTRATES (98% pure THC and CBD) daily. I decided to kick the oxy and xanax only to experience REAL withdrawl

OXY- Cold sweats, goosebumps, irratibility, mood swings, extreme depression, restless leg syndrome, GI problems, vommiting, palpitations, high blood pressure, yawning, crying, insomnia, etc.

XANAX- exteme rebound anxiety, depression, light sensitive, SEIZURES, insomnia, vertigo, hallucinations, delirium, etc.

BHO (hash concentrate that is 90-98% pure THC/CBD- NO PHYSICAL WD after 5 years of DAILY use) sure... i felt weird because i didnt know how to fix the hole in my life. But the cannabis had NOTHING to do with that. Look above... OXY and XANAX real post acute withdrawl symptoms.... Marijuana- all in your HEAD.

We can all agree on one thing though. If you are using marijuana to cope it is tough to break away. But soon enough you will move up because marijuana will not mask your feelings after a while. Maybe you too will find yourself in the pits of real addiction and tell yourself "getting off of weed is a dream compared to things that DOCTORS give you.

 

Also, that canabis oil.... stopped my seizures from xanax withdrawl becuase of the high CBD rating.

 

My final take- Marijuana is nothing... benzo and alcohol withdrawls will KILL you cold turkey, and opiate withdrawls will have you PRAYING that your are DEAD.

 

So sorry if this was curt, but wake up people and stop blaming marijuana for your problems or at least realize that marijuana is a dream drug next to everything else. TRUST ME.

 

I am not a doctor, nor should you take my advice, I am only saying this becuase I have definitly been there and sorry if Im curt. But addicts have a lovely way of feeling very bad for themselves.

Don't talk rubbish man!!! I am in the same boat as the guy above, smoking for 16 years and I am now in my 3rd day of withdrawal and I feel like utter sh*t. There is no way that you are going through anything close to what we are! 10 times PFFFFFT!!! Try 10 years and then come back. Clown!

I feel the same way and I stoped smoking about 3 months ago ....been smoking since I was 14 and I'm 35 now.....sucks and I also get the stomach nerves in the morning

There is alot of factors involved in this one- (Heavy smokers 90+ days) (Moderate smokers 30-60 Days)
( on and off smokers 0 Days your not addicted to nothing grow a pair)

For example- How much weed does one smoke per day.
- Do you mix your weed with tobacco.
- Do you take other drugs with the weed(Most proper smokers become immune to weed after years of smoking and will then
Start taking codiene, oxy or diazepam to bring on the effects of weed).
- Prescription medications may also make it harder or even easier to stop smoking weed.

Helpful things to get the weed out of your system faster would be to-
#DRINK HEAPS OF WATER.
#DO HEAPS OF EXERCISE(though take it easy if your a lazy FU%# like me)

THC stores in the fat cells for a long time so burning fat and either replacing with new fat or muscle must be helpful.
Though i will say it`s pretty damn hard to do exercise when your only getting 2 hours sleep per night.

I am a 28yo male and have been 3 days without weed since i was 15yo. In the last 5 years i have smoked 30+ cones per day without 1 day off the stuff. I have had no ambitions to do anything no goals or nothing. The last 10 years of my life have been such a waste i would give almost anything to go back to when i was 15 years old is really sad to think about. Have not had a GF in 5 years and have not left my house in 5 years and i have pushed all my friends away from me cause of anxiety what a waste of a life.

Have now been without weed and tobacco for 19 days. The first 2 days were really hard and then it seemed to get easier and i was sleeping ok. But now on the 19th day i have had about 2 hours sleep in the last 3 days, i feel so bloody tired but i just can`t sleep.
The Doctor said that he puts some people in hospital that are heavy weed smokers cause of the withdrawal and was surprised that i have been doing so well.
Most cases it is good to have support and people in your life to help you get through hard times. In my case i think it helps that i have no one in my life cause if i did i would have ripped their spine out by now. The aggression i have is really bad and it does not help if you have a selfish POS living with you. The only way i was able to quit is when my dad went away for 1 week, yes i still live at home does it get anymore pathetic than my life..

Oh and to this clown JOHN up above it`s very obvious that you are an attention seeking fool. No one cares about your addiction to benzos and the like. You have probably never smoked weed for more than a day at a time so wtf would you know. I smoked crystal meth for 1 week straight a long time ago and the aggression i have now easily compares to the aggression i had back then. Call yourself a professional AHHAHAAAAA What a joke. Everyone is entitled to an opinion but don`t hate on people who are trying to better their life..

I have been smoking about a gram each night for the last four years. I did quit about two years ago for 30 days and suffered no withdrawel whatsoever. At the time I was so proud of myself that I "rewarded" myself by smoking 'just one' blunt and was pretty much hooked again instantly. Then last november I got a panic attack after smoking. I didn't know what was happening and really thought I would die. This was the moment I decided to quit forever, but like any addict I found excuses not to quit right then and just kept on smoking. Then came new years eve and I had just enough left for one last joint.

I went 3 days without when I found a little bud in the sofa. I took one hit and had a panic attack again. Now I was determined to quit and haven't had any since.

The first few day were the worst: I couldn't sleep, had constant headaches, felt nauseated, cold sweats, didn't eat, anxiety, depression, muscle tension, pretty much everything other people described in this thread. It felt like a bad flu was knocking at the door but was reluctant to enter the house.

I must admit I was one of those people who didn't believe weed would cause any withdrawel and I thought there was something wrong with me. I found this thread pretty much by coincidence  and I have read every post in it. I was so relieved to read many of you had experienced the same symptoms as I that I almost felt the anxiety flow out of me.

It has been two weeks since that last hit and my appetite is starting to return and I have little trouble falling asleep. I do occasionally wake up soaking in sweat and although the headaches are getting milder they are still always present.

I think it will be a while before I feel completely normal again but I'm confident that I eventually will.

I'd like to thank everyone who shared their stories and don't lose hope!

 

u should not be having any withdraws its just mind over matter

stick with it man....i have smoked cannabis for 30 years & i stopped about a month ago....instead of getting stroppy whilst your trying to sleep....just close your eyes & just rest,,, you will drift off...otherside you creat a mind block to the extent where you cannot sleep & that will drive you to despair, i know I have done it...I work as a personal trainer & getting into exercise will defo help, seriously look at exercise..itll sweat alot of the c**p out.......in times of need - dont reach for the weed.....its like an alcoholic reaching for a drink, starts the circle off again....
