how long do marijuana withdrawal symptoms last

Third day in, stomach just feels full of water or something smoked everyday non stop can barely sleep eat etc massive increase in heart rate hope it gets better soon!

It's my third day without smoking. I have smoked for 15 year. The symptoms I am having is anxiety and lose of appetite. When I wake up I'm anxious and feel the need to puke also any anticipation of things. My nerves are shot from depending on THC.

Yo are you f*****g dense? There a serveral studies proving that marijuana is addictive, yes it varys from person to person but it has its addictive qualites and overtimes of extended use a person will develop some sort or dependecy or addiction. Anything that alters your state of mind can become addictive with regular exposure. Pot is a deppressant just like alcohol and benzos etc it slows your thought patterns aswell as other affects. Why the hell wouldnt it be addictive? You my friend clearly havent experienced the daily intake of pot that others have for a long period of time so good for you, but that doesnt give you the right to tell people what their expiencing isnt real. Try ripping half gram bowls out of expensive bongs several times a day for years, then get back to me :) have a good one and educate yourself buh bye this is all coming from a 17 year old in the process of quitting btw

You are full of B. S., each person is different as it should be in life. I completely disagree with your thinking. You act like we should be just like you, but that isn't going to happen. Yes a lot of people have their problems and each has to deal with it in their own way and not having someone else tell them how to live their life. Unless you are professional in this area then that's a different story.

Hi I'm 27 and I started smoking weed at 15. It started with going halves with friends on 1g a day but quickly escalated to my own 1g a day by the time I was 17. I then went from that to 2/3 gram a day by the age of 20 and carried on until now. Weed was not only a spliff but became a way of life. I would always fit things around my spliff time instead fit spliff time around my things. I have now stopped and I am getting all the symptoms described (day 7).

Firstly the cravings are the worst the habit of rolling up is difficult to shake I'm literally rolling receipt, notes or anything else into spliff shape without realising.

Insomnia is a big one which I've still got and also very light sleep once I do knock off, constantly waking up through the night.

I mixed tobacco with my spliff and having to shake that habit is also hard, I think my body wants that the most but my mind wants the spliff to just Mong out from the days rubbish.

Coughing up messed up phlegm, either dark green or black and my throats is killing don't think I've had a sore throat this bad.

I've always been active even when stoned I would go gym after a spliff but now I go without I feel I want to stay in the gym longer, lift more weight and have more determination to carry on.

Dark circles have for some reason got worse but I'm hoping this gets better (I'm guessing lack of sleep)

Dreams are crazy to the point I have to think if they were actually real( check cupboard to see if the money is there from the bank job in my dream) . Actually don't like them as some are more nightmares.

Had a masssssive outbreak of spots again I'm guessing this is due to detox, my complexion is better than ever and have a lot of colour like I'm alive again. Before I would have like a dull grey pale zombie look.

I'm not waking up irritated anymore as I did and I have literally no road rage now In the morning where as it was guaranteed before.

Nigh sweats are horrible I have to change my clothes half way through the night and sleeping on floor due to bed being soaked.

I'm constantly bored every show I watch is rubbish I don't have the patients watch any old c**p anymore and feel easily bored now.

Eating food is becoming better I'm Asian and we eat a lot of spicy food but now I can't handle the spice it feel like my taste buds have come back to life as well as sense of smell.

Have been coughing a lot feel wheezy tired and lethargic as tho cba to do anything.

Despite all this I actually feel better lool as weird as it sounds I think due to the time I started I have hindered my development as a person through crucial years and I'm now getting a flood of emotions come back, and my thought process is so weird it doesn't feel right but again I think this is due to me never letting my body go through this when young(all guesses from personal experience)

So overall I'm happy I have stopped but it definitely not easy best way for me was, wake up go work go straight to the gym for as long as possible then go maybe do. A few chores(shopping etc) go home at a time where it's almost bed time. Try using hours up in the day to avoid giving your self a chance to stay still and think 'I could kill a zoot right now'

I grow it and known to every dealer in my city due to being one myself for years. Having it readily available is what makes it hard. Best thing to do is cut yourself from everything weed related for at least a week this is what's helped me loadddds.

Good luck people and I don't care what anyone say weed is highly addictive . Mentally or physically, it will take over your life if you let it and before you know it your smoking every day to just get by. It's really not about spending your whole life in a cloud of smoke, life's wasting away.

Completely agree everyone is different, I've always exercised my diet is amazing my physique is very good and have even been asked to do PT training for people. Weed is a drug skunk is strong and hazes these days are crazy strong. Everyone is different!

I am having a real hard time quoting ,it has been 6 days , I have body aches hit and cold flashes , nausia, mood swings ,I have been smoking everyday for 19 years ,I have all this phlegm that keeps me up all night ,U am determined to quit. Help

Hi... I deffinitly can recomend alcohol to get some sleep.. i quit cannabis 3 days ago and drink about 2 beers slowly from about 6pm til 10pm..it gives me that little relaxing buzz thet helps me fall asleep.. okay i have the night sweats and will wake up during the night, but i fall asleep again fairly quickly..now its day 4 and feeling quite okay but still my hands have the sweats and i can feel that i still need the beers but 2-3 more days and i will not drink the beers anymore and will fall asleep without.. a week from the psychical state is over..

to say that you dont think anyone is addicted is just pathetic! read the stories again. every one is different maybe you were able to over come it easier than others! the throwing up is real. not being able to eat is real. tho ive had no vivid dreaming....

Hey mate, keep positive I am on day ten and just had to come home sick from work. almost fainted in a meeting. Just think about the good things we will be doing next week, and the even better things the week after that.

I am starting to break. It's been a little over a month now. I have consistently been lacking sleep this entire time. Going to sleep isn't really a problem. The problem is staying asleep. I woke up 3 times last night from very vivid dreams. I can't find the energy to workout. I can't find the motivation to apply for jobs, because I'll just end up failing with the way I'm feeling. The lack of sleep also affects my eyes, because I have chronic dry eye disease. I don't know what else to do. Sleeping pills just make me feel worse when I wake up. I might try drinking myself to sleep. I thought this detox was going to be over by now.

Hi I posted 11 days (one where I go on for ages)
I feel your pain I'm getting the same issue sleeping isn't the issue but staying a sleep is a big problem for me to. My sleep is so light even if I sleep 8 hours I'm up through the night almost aware when I move around.

I know you mentioned you don't have energy to work out but If you can drag yourself to do so it does help. But again I'm having exact same issue and I completely get the waking up in morning after a sleeping pill it feels as though i smoked a full quarter of haze before bed.

You've done really well to stick it out so far you should be proud of that especially with all difficulties, stick to it and hopefully it will get better.

Try looking in to setting a sleep routine doing exact same thing every night let your body get used to knowing it's time for bed think this has helped me slightly but still in the same position as yourself. Don't give up !!

So I've been drinking exactly one beer a night since I last posted and it has actually helped quite a bit. I'm not sure what effect it has on REM sleep, but I'm still dreaming; I'm just not waking up from these dreams throughout the night. I'm going to try stopping in a couple of days and see what happens. If I still have the same problems as before then I'm going to start the one beer a night thing again and workout at the same time until that becomes my new crutch. I hope this helps people.

Hi everyone,
I have been smoking since 14 and
I have been clean for just over 3 months after 15 years of smoking everyday, I've had one slip up on new years of a few cones with in my 3 months which now I feel like has started my progress all over again.

I am depressed and emotional all the time, most of my physical symptoms are gone but the mental ones are the hardest to over come!
I feel like I'm taking 1 step forward and 10 back I can't deal with it anymore from reading all the comments I see it does get better with time but how do I overcome my days when I feel so depressed, emotional and not myself?
My husband is very supportive but I keep pushing him away as I'm not feeling myself and being so depressed is making it hard to do anything at all!
I feel so helpless and lost with my life ATM.
I am just wondering how long till I start to feel normal and not so depressed/emotional every god dam day as it's really taking its toll on me!
