how long do marijuana withdrawal symptoms last

CBD is good for anxiety. I have been told that in order for CBD to work properly there needs to be a little THC. I was eating one marijuana edible at bedtime for pain relief & to put me to sleep. It worked great until I developed Serotonin Syndrome from all the meds & marijuana that I was taking. I quit pot cold turkey. It has been hard. The anxiety is the worst! !!! Then the insomnia.

Try to find CBD without THC if you are worried about the THC. I wish I could use CBD for anxiety but have been advised not to the to the Serotonin Syndrome. Best wishes.

Today is day 5 I have had minor symptoms compared to some of the people of this site. I am 39 and smoked like its my religion for 20 years. I can do anything stoned get root canal, hit the gym for 2 hours sell wine ( its what i do for a living ) my addiction is so mental I can't go 5 minutes without talking myself out of buying a bag and a pizza and shutting off the world for a little while. I have always used weed as a safety net. I tell myself if i get through something difficult I will reward myself by smoking myself into ablivion. me and my friends started doing concentrates a few months ago. now they all feel the same way way flowers just don't cut it anymore. I know its time to quit. if i make it through today it will be the longest i have made it since the mid 90's. sometimes i just feel like what the f..k do people do when they are not getting stoned. I guess one the things that helps is that i tell myself if i do buy some nothing will be different except i will have " blown it" and be back to where i started, poorer, worse health ect... I am also scared that i will become very intolerant of other people who smoke, I'm not sure who i will turn into. I have been a pot head my whole adult life and if i'm not a pot head who am I ?

Me lmao I would legit run someone over to smoke and dude I feel like iv been hit by a train and someone took acid and melted my stomache that's how upset and naceous me stomache is
And the irritation I have is through the roof like people are not even trying to talk to me I am clearly that irritated like I never liked being alone but for now through week 1 1/2 it's good to be alone cause even looking at other people is making me rage in my head and I show it easily weed is not for everyone that's all I have to say about weed

I have been smoking hash bho oil for like 4 months straight nonstop. I tried to quit Cold turkey last week and it hell the first 3 days. I couldn't sleep the first 4 days and I even convinced myself I had stomach cancer because I didn't have any appetite, I was bloated most of the times and I was loosing weight. 4 days in I couldn't take it anymore and I used my hash oil and all symptoms were gone. Iran been one day and everything seems to be fine, accept a bit of anxiety and my appetite wasn't fully restored. Would the withdrawal symptoms start over again?? I hope it doesn't..

Hello,

Reading your latest post has put my mind at ease that I'm not going insane with my leg and back pain. I am currently on day 5 of no smoking after daily use for about 2.5/3 years. I have not slept on over 24 hours and when I do get to sleep it's only for a max of 4/5 hours. I found a post in relation to falling asleep and getting that sudden awakening like someone has abruptly woken you from a sleep. Its some peoples body response to quitting and it is the body in panic mode and your organs/brain realises some chemical which should only happen if an organ is shutting down to give it a jult to resart - In this case I think it's your body crying out for this food you have been telling it it needs for years so it thinks it's starving of the thc. I feel like no one understands these issues my friends are either non smokers or smokers that have quit with less severe symptoms and think I'm exaggerating. Where your kidney sit in your back is where I am getting my pain and I know their function is to filter how toxins in the body which is essentially your urine and my stomach hasn't felt to great either. I wanted to share my experience to let others know if you feel like a junkie coming of crack and you thinking this can't be possible with canabis - it can. Night sweats and insomnia don't help with my muscle pain and I can't wait for this to be over or at least more tolerable. My emotions have been getting better each day and im constantly keeping myself busy to distract my mind from it all. I can finally have a conversation with people and my anxiety isn't taking over I can finally get my words out and speak properly as it was majorly affecting my confidence levels thinking this was just me. These pains tell me just how much my mind and body depended on this drug I have a family history of drug depedancy and I think for some it lies down to our genetics. I am a cigarette smoker but plan to start on champix next week for this - a drug that contains no nicotine - instead it works with the addictive receptors in the brain to suppress it while trying to quit as I say I feel any kind of drug could consume me to a greater level or at least at a faster rate than some so I am really hesitant to try any kind of sleeping pill as I don't want to switch to them and rely for sleep as it will still be drug endured - just a different drug. I want to live a drug free life exefpt from the occasion drink at occasions and make the most out of my time and money here on doing what's best for my health. I did really enjoy a smoke and the sensation while high. I'm only 25 and suffered back pain due to my hips forming at the wrong angel it's not something that's physically noticeable but it's like my normal walking is the equivalent to you walking around on your tip toes all day so you can imagine but the end of a working day having jobs working on my feet running about all day this can be painful and due over use of pain meds in my teens i have damanged my tummy on daily pepemint cpsules and cannot take pain meds orally - but as well as having addictive traits long term use for me was affecting my mental health and for me it just wasn't worth it. My partner and his family still smoke so I am no way judging just giving telling my experience with it personally. I hope to be comfortable to be around pot users like I had been for 7 years before I tried it myself. Hope this helps someone out there you are not alone dont be affriad to ask for help. If you Gp don't take you seriously tjere are usually charity organisations or phone helpline specific for people in these situations you just need to do some investigation in your area/country.

All the best to each and every one of you regardless of your decision with canabis.

you didnt smoke enough and it wasnt high thc weed is my opinion, cause withdrawals are real. Thc and CBD are potent chemicals. Plus, I just had a friend die from cancer who was in peak physical condition all his life, only 50 years old, never smoked weed, excersised all the time like you are saying. Don't think you have it all figured out because of one factor. God bless all of you trying to stat clean. Everyone has a different experience.

I've been smoking religiously for the past 5 years (every year I've been in college (LOL 5 years and I'm still in school)). There hasn't been a moment that I haven't been high as it is legal in Washington state where I live. I smoke before school/middle of the day/ nighttime. However, it has been affecting my life negatively as my grades were suffering, and people like my family and girlfriend have been calling me out on my substance abuse saying I'm an addict and they don't like me on it and I can't quit. I'm currently on day 2 of trying to quit cold turkey and it's the hardest thing I've ever done! The thing about marijuana is it's always in your fats and seeing as I'm someone who burns fats easily I feel as though I'm constantly high. The thc never leaves my system and it's like I'm constantly high. Even after not smoking for 2 days I can feel it in the back of my mind like a voice whispering for me to come back to it. I have school starting again next week so I'm giving it up. I don't see myself as an addict just highly dependent on marijuana to eat/sleep/watch things/play games but I do feel anxiety and the cravings to come back to marijuana. However I'm going to stick it out to prove to myself and everyone else that marijuana isn't as addictive as everyone says. I want to smoke right now but I haven't for 2 days and the only reason is because I'm deciding to quit now. I will be posting on here again when I am 30 days clean and I hope that this can help inspire other people to quit too if you so choose. Weed isn't that bad but to me it's like a dark web or a cloud that you enjoy floating on/sitting on but that sobriety is also a powerful tool in terms of insight and mental health and so both sobriety and getting high have their purposes/negatives. If you're snoop dogg you're never going to quit though so you might as well keep smoking

No, you're a p***y, smoke everyday for 10 years then post on this group

I'm still more of a man than you'll ever be. You wouldn't know sh*t about being a real man while you're sitting there playing video games and jerking off 24/7.

i feel the same way g, wake up feeling a incredible ache, i lost my appetite and cant really think to clearly

I am 63 yrs old and been into smoking it for about 15 years now. what a horrid mistake. I was under the impression it wasn't all that harmful and I could quit whenever I wanted...well I quit 4 days ago and I feel like I am falling apart totally...I cannot sleep, my tummy hurts constantly and I have to force myself to eat to survive...I shake all the time...I was using the elliptical 5 days a week but I am so nauseated and sickly feeling I can no longer even do that...I can honestly say I have never felt so horrid in my entire life...how long will I have to go thru all these symptoms ? is there a light at the end of the tunnel so I am able to function again normally ? my brain feels like it is in a fog all the time...HELP....

OMG I am feeling so horrid and this is just day 4...please tell me I will become a normal human being again soon ? I can barely function at all...I am 63 yrs old and smoked for 15 years...I have go to get thru this somehow...

No mate , it's all in your grad. Just relax and realise the illusion . Cheers bro

Tell that to my gp who has diagnosed me with insomnia, anxiety and high blood pressure, as symptoms to marijuana withdrawal. But hey, guess you know more than a certified gp.

A couple of years ago I quit after 20 years of blazing, about 1/2 - 1oz a month - I initially quit for financial reasons (its expensive!). Anyone who says its isnt addictive is a flamin liar! Unfortuantely, after an argument with my partner a year ago - I picked up the habit again. Nowhere near on the scale it was before (1/8th per month), but that has been enough to trigger withdrawal again when going cold turkey a week ago.... poor sleep, aggressive and illogical thoughts, acid reflux (though I have medication to deal with that part), and constant sweating (hands and feet are the worst). But I know that after a couple of months, all of this will dissipate.... I've won before, and I'll win again... First 3-4 days are by far the worst, especially if you are doing it in secret (since you cant explain to others why you are going off the rails for fear of being judged), but... it IS possible guys.... just hang in there!
