how long do marijuana withdrawal symptoms last

I'm sorry but u are very wrong. Marijuana along with many activities/substances/etc. can be associating. You can become addicted to masturbating! If you are a addict (yes addiction is a disease) then you will have withdrawals if you triggered the gene. For those who say"you cannot get withdrawals from marijuana, I smoked for 20+years and stopped cold turkey and didn't have any". Well these people are ignorant because marijuana and other things In life affect everyone differently.

LOLOLOLO LOLOL OLOLOLOL

I am 50 yrs old smoked marijuana for 35 yrs on a daily basis. I have recently quit day 3

now. I am having withdrawl sypmtoms such as high anxiety, nausiousness, loss of

appetite, head aches and extreme moodiness. I also take anxiety meds, have depression

and am bi polar. So as one can imagine my with drawl systoms are extreme. Not enough to

make start again. I have found epson salt baths, relaxation music, no caffiene and small

amounts of light food easily digestable, especially protien eases the systoms a bit.

Keeping busy as much as possible not specifically physically but mentally. I read a forum

on here regarding that some of the symtoms are more noticable as you are straight

and not high all the time. You possibly may have had some of the symtoms and not realizing it as you were always high is quite realistic. If you are sting about quitting

and feel you can not do it on your own, there is nothing wrong with seeking help.

Be persistant in your goal and stability will be found.

I have experienced severe withdrawal from marijuana and there were a couple of things which helped during recovery.

Hi , 

Im a 31 yo male . I started smoking about 3-4 yrs ago with one attempt to quit last summer for an important career exam . Right after the exam i had like 4-5 blunts stuck in my mouth loool. I have been smokin on a daily basis and it helped me with sleep since my job is known to be stressful af . However , smoking affected many things in my life . First, smoking made me very lazy . Im a single guy who loves to go out and interact and meet new ppl . Everyweekend i plan to go out but i end up smoking a blunt or too and here we go Netflix + pizza + cigarrett smoking . This has been going on for. 3 yrs , gained weight lost muscles and looked and felt like sh** . Second, i had huge problem remembering things ( my job is all about having a sharp memory and critical thinking) , e.g : i struggled on a daily bases to find where i parked my car , i rec'd a warning from my boss as to be reevaluated coz my performance has declined tremendously (that was the turning point for me !!!) . Third , I had no motivation . The things i was thinking of were w: when am i going to smoke again and sex (which i was not very successful at since ppl dont like like slobs in general ) . Anyway , i quit smoking 3 weeks ago , joined a gym and started a lifting routine since then . Withdrawal symptoms I had were : 1- INSOMNIA : this one is b**** , the worst thing that happened to me in years . Ranged from absolute lack of sleep to 2-3 hrs everynight . Nothing helped me . Googled about like a maniac but nothing helped , i felt so miserable . It improved a little bit but still a problem . Idont have a problem  falling asleep ! My problem was maintaining sleep What helped me ? Keep urself busy , dont overthink about it, and heavy workout (im talking a lot of sweating and pushing urself to the limit) . 2- LACK OF APPETITE : was shut down for the first 2 weeks . U get hungry but u only eat so little . What helped me : patience i.e time is ur friend, it will go away quickly , workout helps too . 3- DEPRESSION AND MOOD CHANGES : i think it has somethng to do with insomnia, but u will feel down for at least 2 weeks , with some anger bursts , occasionally u wil feel euphoric and all of a sudden u will feel down again , it was really annoying . What helps  : be around ppl, friends , workout . I started to have deep thoughtful convo. with others - a little too deep though lol - .  A general rule in all theabove is to try ur best to avoid ur smoking buddies , at least when they decide to smoke , they are not necessarily bad ppl , but for the timebeing u dont want them around you . 

Now , i can feel , smell and think clearly , better than before. I fee more confident , outspoken and no guilt whatsoever . Dont get me wrong , i stll have some withdrawal symptoms , but i gotta keep pushing and pushing . You will be a human being again and feel self worthy its a matter of determination and time 

So what happened mate, did you give up for good ?

I've been smoking for 3 years now. If not everyday, every other day..Recently I found myself in a sh*t load of trouble in my school and them finding Marijuana in my dorm room. So Im starting to get drug tested every month. I have no other choice but to quit cold turkey. I believe when you are actually trying to quit for your own benefits, usually the safe thing to do is limit your self to the amount of marijuana you smoke daily, weekly, and then monthly. Since my drug tests are coming up soon, I must pass, and don't have the time to stop smoking slowly which is less intense on the body... it's been almost 2 weeks since the last time I smoked. I can't sleep to save my life. Im exhausted, but will toss and turn all night long in my bed, and it'll be 4 AM till I knock out, and moments later my alarm clock will go off. Eating has become very hard...I don't get hungry period. I just recently started getting fever and the chills. Which is when I'm literally freezing with goose bumps but my body is over heating, and then I start sweating like crazy. I've been super depressed, and angry... My head sometimes feels like it's about to explode, the headache's are terrible... If you have the chance to limit yourself to the amount of marijuana you smoke, slowly you will find yourself not smoking at all... But quiting cold turkey after smoking daily for 3 years and so, has been really rough on my body. I had no idea there we're such thing of withdrawal from marijuana!

Something I have not heard anyone said, but does anyone get a ringing noise in the ears? It's been 4 weeks since I've quit and since the day I started my ears began ringing. After 4 weeks the noise has slightly decreased but it is still noticeable. Anyone else have this issue?

dude ive been smoking 8 years I quit for 3 days only 3
and I cant eat barely and sleep yeah forget it I get like 3 hrs up down go to bed at 11 lie awake till 3 its ridicilious

im 23 years old. i have always been going to sleep late. always past 12am.(went to school tired, but at those ages you dont care about going to school tired) i only sleep once, and thats at night. i rarely (very very very very rare) take a nap or sleep in the day. when i was 18 got my first steady job which i would go in at 2pm, so sleeping late didnt effect me. I started smoking weed almost everyday when i was 19. mostly at nights, and some times whenever i just felt like smoking. i can honestly say i would smoke an eigh a week MAX. usaully tried to keep it at a gram a week for only sleeping. except for weekends and when we pitched in ( thats why i say an eight a week max). im 23 right now and on house arrest so i had to stop. i sleep every 2 days, thats when sleep gets to me(and doesnt always come at  the right time like night time.) so im taking sleeping pills. The thing is idk if im having withdraws or if making me stop smoking and depriving me from my sleep. is making me feel no so healthy. anyones have any thoughts of my situation?

I am a 35 year pot and hash oil user today is 71 days clean! Still having a hard time readjusting im pissed off all the time i never seem to laugh i go to support groups church and try to stay positive but im still a snap case lots of things ive read say 90 days was when things started to get better we will see

You are SO sadly mistaken. I have been a very healthy, active, mentally stable daily smoker for over 20 years. I quit about a week ago, and am having major withdrawal symptoms. Anxiety, vomiting, etc. I do not take any other drugs, I eat VERY healthy foods, very little caffeine, and i exercise very regularly! PLEASE people, believe me that pot withdrawal is real. This person sounds like he's still justifying his habit!

Withdrawal is real but whats even "realer" is that it will go away with time (may be a very long time). I have been clean of weed and tobacco for 15months now, when i quit I had severe withdrawal symptoms I actually thought i was going to die. But today most of the symtoms have subsided. During this time i put on 10Kg of weight due to depression, lack of motivation, etc.

I would advice anyone going through the same to read these posts as they really helped me. You just need to keep going. It may seem like its never going to end but believe me it will. It ended for me. Im now eating healthy, exercising everyday, spending more time with my kids and enjoying life generally. I wish you all the best.

Finally it is very important to be real with yourself about what is happening to you. You may want to come up with so many reasons why certain things are happening  but in my expereince the WEED is the cause of 90% of the bad stuff so LEAVE IT ALONE!

hi there im ahamed to say im like that when i quit, it takes severe restriction to deal with normal situations, feels like going back is best for everyone with me, i also smoked all my life and dont know life not stoned, my peronal opionion is ur brain forgets how to cope with minor day too day stress coz its always dumbed dwon with the weed, depite this i dont know how to cure the addiction, I would b interested if your boyfriend became nice again or relapsed. thanks

Keep going. Me twenty odd years smoking . stopped two months know. Still hard. But thing started calm down bit. Bit about my life. Survived being murderd when l was twenty eight. Got scars over my bodie. Friend murdered. So think to get away from everything started coke LSD speed weed. Then stayed on weed. Years. See all mates smoke weed.know look at all years iv wasterd. Started to go out know. Meet good people. All others around me fade away. Weed is there life. They never have any think just were can get next twenty bag. Me looking from other side of the fence know. You know first in years went out and spent eight pound on a t shirt. Felt good. Know because I stopped cigs and weed. Got bit of money in my pocket not much but know just got second hand bike. Starting to feel good in myself. Still cold Turkey but l will get there. If I. Can any one can. Keep your money in you're pocket. Go buy something nice for you're self. Weed dealers don't give a toss about you just your money. Take care you can do it. God bless.
