lala hit the nail on the head! everyone is different. I was looking at some other posts and it was alot of back-and-forth addictive/not additcive arguing. Check out my last post - if you are really struggling and cant sleep etc there is a herbal you can buy on-line "Cannitrol" (google it) that a few of my buddies sware by, it helped them stop. Some of my buddies are still smokin'! Different strokes for different folks!
With respect to the legality...Do not stop me from eating a steak because that infant over there can't chew it.
Different people react to quitting differently, its all about habit. You little kids on here saying "I have smoked everyday for over a year" are not even relevant. I have been smoking multiple times a day for 10 years ( I am 24 and in college) and have had to quit a few times. Currently I am stuck with no money and have had to quit, it has been 3 days and like the real smokers I am waking up many times each night sweating profusely. My appetite is gone, and headaches are frequent. Like I said it is all about habit, those of us who have smoked for 5+ years everyday are used to the munchies telling us when to eat, and used to being drowsy from the weed which helps sleeping. Your body just needs to adjust, tapering off doesn't help because you still have to stop completely at some point. My advice is to drink alcohol, not heavily but if you drink a couple beers after dinner they will tire you out just like the weed used to. Due to my extreme use, probably smoking strong weed 4-5 times everyday, I am currently experiencing the "withdrawal symptoms" (I dont like to use this expression as it pertains to more serious drugs). It will pass though, if you feel strong enough, working out/exercising will help a lot however just relaxing and letting the symptoms pass will be your best bet.
My best advice.... dont quit haha
My best advice.... dont quit haha
ok first off id would like to state that i have been smoking for 6 years, my first year i smoked on and off, and after the second started it became every day and i mean every single f*****g day even when i would be like im not going to smoke today i would light one up with a friend by chance or i would get anxious and have to get it by the end of the day,and recently i moved away from my old home and once i moved to this place i started smoking more than ever before i would smoke 4-6 joints a day, for the past year and a half of some of the best sh*t i could get... i recently got send to jail for posession of marijuana and hashish and now i have to quit for probation i have been off of it for 6 days now, and let me tell you it is addictive maybe not physically but its wors ebeing mentally addicted to something anyway, especially if you are a smart person your brain is more sensitive, i have been having nausea hot flashes loss of sleep and i sometimes even have sensitivity to lite... i dont get too iritated most of the time but what im trying to say is that a mental dependency can be just as bad as a physical dependency, ive been trying to work as a salesman but its impossible when u want to throw up in someones face when u have to sit there an explain sh*t to them.. also i get splitting headaches, people who have been smoking for a long time maybe arent used to being stressed out all the time and when they stop smoking and their body is not used to it its a really bad feeling, makes your brain overworked and overstressed, but it will go away eventually you just have to eat healthy drink lots of water try nd excersize play video games and just try and stay unstressed atleast until your body get cleansed out
I have smoked for 7 years daily ounce every 2-3 weeks only stopped couple times and went back to it. This time it's different I won't be going back no matter what I am fighting the nasty withdrawn symptoms since I stopped 1 day ago .. Loss of appetite, nausea, empty feeling inside, anxiety attacks, sleep problems and so on
Heavy smokers really need to understand what they doing to their bodies .. I never cared now I am 33 my health is declining because I spent 7 years sitting around in circles passing joints pathetic
I've smoked all day every day for 5 years very heavily from the moment i woke up to the time i went to bed. very difficult to quit but it is psychological. U get depressed and it can be lonely feeling for a while. You just have to make it through the first few days and of course have the real desire to quit. stay active. read. workout. socialize instead of sitting around thinking about weed. going to sleep is worst part, but at least you get to see your dreams.
I know exactly how you feel! im experiencing the same thing and it sucks. For the past week I have cut back from smoking marijuana from 3 J's a day to just 1 J a day and I have been experiencing loss of appetite, nausea, loss of sleep, and basically everything u just stated. I'm also in college and i'm afraid its putting me behind in my classes. I don't want to do it anymore because of the side effects of the withdrawals but i cant help it. its the only way I can eat a meal, without it I wont eat alllll day.. smh
I forgot how your experience with we applies to everyone, my bad. (sigh wake up)
Are you guys stupid?! Appetite loss and insomnia are NOT withdraw symptoms. I'm sure your small appetite now after stopping is the same it was before you started smoking and you're just not used to it. With insomnia, you're also just not used to being stoned as sh*t and falling asleep easily. AND Insomnia is a disease, not a 2 day thing. Exercise, that will help you sleep. Maybe sitting around all day on your ass is the reason your not tired at night because you had no physical activity during the day? I've been smoking everyday, three times a day for over a year and I'm a month into not smoking and I have not experienced one "symptom" and it's been quite easily actually. Didn't even have to delete drugs dealers numbers or drop friends.
ok first off marijuana is not physcially addictive! im in the process as well now and it sucks but is nothing like quitting any other drug or tobacco or alcohol. its all mental. yes it may be extremely hard to eat and sleep but just give it a few weeks and you will be fine. anything can be addictive when you do it all day every day lol but you can do it
I have been an everyday, multiple times a day weed smoker for 5 years now, and I have to say that you are full of sh*t. I don't care what any kind of research tells me.. I am on day 5 of going cold turkey, and I have thrown up at least once each day starting 2 days after. I can't eat and I can barely drink water without throwing it up because of my nausea and complete lack of appetite. My overall mood is actually decent compared to what I thought it would be. I'm quite pleasant to be around actually, and more energetic and sociable. I have been high on high grade for months.. literally. I would wake up and smoke, and continue to smoke all day no matter what I had to do that day.. I would bring my bud and my pipe with me always.
But basically, you have no idea what you're talking about. I am almost the exact opposite of what you describe here. Lack of psychological dependency but extreme physical dependency. Don't stress issues that you don't know much about.
For people trying to quit and having such a difficult time with it as me.. stick with it. It's gonna be more worth it than you know, and just remember there are other people out there like me that feel like complete sh*t with you. :)

And also, I'm not addicted to anything else, so that helps my body to feel like it needs it. I don't smoke cigarettes or drink.. just smoke weed.
I am a 16 year old teenager addicted to Marijuana. I've been smoking for 6 years, at least 3 to 4 blunts a day. Recently it has escalated to 4 grams a day! I have been spending money I don't have, I've been doing criminal things to get this drug. But I don't understand, it's only weed, but yet I need it like a crack head. I feel like I need it to eat to sleep to do homework to relax to chill to be myself! When I am sober I feel as if everything is just so plain, that it lacks something, but I already know I am saying that because I am sober. Once I get high then the feeling of something is missing is gone. I've been to rehab, when I got out I wanting to be the best at everything, wanted to be sober forever, with my family supporting me, I felt on top of the world. Then after a month back home, I felt that urge to just smoke one blunt. But now 3 months later, I blunt turned to countless. One blunt turned back to my criminal mischief that came along with my drug abuse. Last night for example, just to get some money for some loud, I got arrested, processed, and now I have a criminal record, just cause I was gonna sell some copper for some money for weed. This is going to be my 4th time trying to quit this green plant. Those of you that say, "you can only quit if you want too". WTF?! You think I wanna do all this? Yea, overall it is ultimately my decision but if I wasnt in this mental grasp of this herb then pshh I could be the president xD
Just need help, please I am at what they call rock bottom, parents hate me, can't stand myself, and yet I am still wishing while I write this that I could just smoke mysElf to sleep :(
So I would appreciate any advice , thank you
An everyday smoker for 35 years except for when I wasn't. And I've quit repeatedly over that time for a month or more. Sometimes to make sure I wasn't addicted but mostly to lower my tolerance so I didn't have to smoke so much.
Marijuana isn't physically addictive. If you have symptoms they're psychosomatic and if they last longer than a month you probably had those symptoms before you started using. When I quit I have vivid dreams and a reduced appetite exactly like I did before I started smoking.
Your smoking is self medicating. What were the underlying problems that made you use heavily in the first place? If you quit you're going to have to address those problems head on to relieve your symptoms. Symptoms alleviated by marijuana in the first place, not created by withdrawal.
