stopped smoking marijuana, withdrawals?

ur an id**t ..

ur an id**t ..

I have been a bad Pothead for the last 20 years or so and i have given up a number of times during that period.For me it's always the same.Like you,i get sick and anxiety from the moment i decide to give up,then i go through hell for a week or so (the full aray of symtoms..nausea,headaches.stomach cramps,the sh**s,lack of appetite you name it.I get them all).What i can tell you is that it does get better.I gave up again 6 days ago (hopefully for good this time) and still have quite bad nausea and i'am still suffering anxiety.It seems to come in waves but slowly but surely the waves of sickness get less frequent and less severe.It can be quite frightening so it helps to know that what your feeling is in fact normal for alot of people (others seem to be able to do it and only go through a few mild symptoms).The thing to remember is that withdrawl symptoms are actually you body re-adjusting to functioning without the drug.You won't die even if at times you feel you are,but you will get better.It really is a matter of taking it one day at a time.It's different for everyone but i find drinking water helps and i don't even bother with food for the first few days...i just throw it back up.After that i just eat small amounts of what i call lite foods like toast or fruit.Listen to your body and only eat what you feel like.I can tell you it's well worth it in the end but once your off it don't make the mistake ive made too many times of thinking you can go back to it and control it...you can not.If you do give up and find yourself tempted in the future just remember the days of feeling like c**p you went through to give up in the first place.Nobody chooses to be a junkie,the drugs will take over in the end.You can beat this..one day at a time.Good luck

I havent been smoking as long as you but I have been every day for 3 years. I am feeling all the withdrawal symptoms thats y i looked it up to see what I could do about it. reading your story gives me the confidece I need to carry on with my refusal to do the drug. I am proud of you because I can see that this isn't an easy thing to deal with and the fact that you were doing it way longer than me lets me know that I can do it. Thanks so much for your help

I don't get it, been smoking for 10 years everyday. Sometimes heavier than others, but I quit about a month ago due to a hair follicle test coming in may. Anyways, it was really f*****g easy to stop. I just stopped, and that was it. In fact I still have weed in the house and I'm not even tempted to smoke, and wasn't from the first day. The only times it occurs to me is when I'm really bored, but even then I already know its not gonna happen. Only complaint I have is I thought it would be diffrent. Thought I have more energy, clearer head, eat less- but nah, I feel the same. Kinda lame, but whatever. I think it's all about the will power. At least for me it was

I just stopped smoking weed 5 days ago after smoking bowls weekly for the past 2 and a half years. I am 18 now and attending college in the fall and really needed to get back on track so I decided to quit. I am an honor roll students and have been playing soccer since I was a freshman, but quit this year. I feel I could be doing so much more without weed getting in the way. Since I quit I have been getting terrible headaches at the times I use to smoke (after school). Also my stomach has been very uneasy and I having been feeling extreme paranoia and agitation for the stupidest sh*t. I want to stay clean but I finally see that it will be more difficult than I had thought. Lately, I have been going to the gym a lot and talking to girls to keep my mind off it. I am selling pipe and grinder to a friend tomorrow so hopefully that will further keep me from smoking again. I wouldn't say I smoked everyday for the past 2 years, but I say every weekend plus for the most of the week days. Do the severe withdrawal symptoms begin to fade after the first week? When will I feel total clarity in my thoughts? How will the THC that remains in my system affect me down the line?

I was smoking everyday for at least 10 years. Not 8 to 10 blunts lol but I blazed allot. I had to quit because I was laid off and had to find work, I didn't want weed to be the reason for not getting hired. I think allot of the stories on here are exaggerated. When I quit I did have a some trouble falling asleep at night. But only the first few days. You might loose your appetite for a few days as well. It's mostly mental just try to keep yourself busy so you don't think about it. I haven't smoked in over a year now. Good luck !

Hi I am ted. I have been smoking 15 years I am 31 now, stopped smoking for over a year and a half and wasn't easy first few days were the hardest not sleeping is my worst experience but after the second day your mind starts feeling your own again your in control again not the pot in control of you that's we're all we pot heads get it wrong we are having such a good time not a care in the world then it grabs us takes us to a place not very nice then something dramatic happens in our life's to give us the strength to stop. September my auntie was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer I deicided to look after auntie at home as it was her wish to die at home. I went back on pot smoking morning and night to help me cope with it all I lost my auntie 5th January it broke me in 2 and started smoking 50 pound of weed a day untill 2 days ago I diecided to stop but this time round has been even harder I think because this one dealer has been laceing his weed with coke. Well he won't get an hours luck in his life doing things like that. Try and be positive, mentally as strong as you can be, as its your body that will be suffering more than your mind shacking waking up very sweaty aggression at times and a feeling of chocking at times the good thing is it only takes a few days max a week to feeling tip top dosent matter how long you have smoked for. A few beers for first and second night won't do you any harm and would take the edge off a bit and help you sleep. Just belive you are ok and you will be. I hope I helped a bit I am going through the same right as I Am typing this now al the best god bless you Teddy

I smoked as a "cool" thing since 8th grade until I was 20. Let me just say, when I quit, I have never experienced such unctrollable unrest in my life. Unctrollable unrest from within, it cannot be defined in mere words. A few things that helped me which I pray can help you include, faith in God, knowing that he has made you perfect and that no matter how long it takes for you to come back or for you to mend your sick psychological flow that you are intact and on the path to reality/real emotions because of your acknowledgement to stop, knowing reality from negativity/ doubt and stopping yourself when and as often as you must, I always thought yoga, meditation would help so I am recently starting to put it into action and i suggest you try the same. You can start with a deep breathe a sigh and exhale as you sigh then follow it up with a few regular breathes. Goodluck to all, and to those who think its unreal, or exaggerated, I am very happy that you havent experienced it or God forbid, you have lived in unrealness for so long that it has become natural to you.

SD! area code!

yea im from SAN DIEGO born and raised but I live in AZ :(. You

glad i found this! not going to lie after just reading these i have felt better. i have been smoking weed since i was 14. started off every one once in an awhile maybe a friend would have some or whatever. when i got a job at 16 i was making a good $100+ a week so i started buying my own weed.i would ussaly throw a couple bucks and just smoke it on the spot ussaly never had a lot on me. but iv been getting high everyday for almost 1-2 years now even when i whent to florida for vacation me and my bro still managed to find some haha. ask these 2 stoned kids if they had any hahaha. but im broke this week and dont have any weed i ussaly buy like a $40-50 bag a week or more depends. i spend $20 a gram ussaly.(its good sht) trying to buy an ounce for $320 tho save a lot of money. recently iv been getting wierd highs but i continue to smoke anyways. i smoke alone a lot. iv made a $25 bag last me a week. btw if you are looking to save money and get realy high pull gravs. but after reading these im almost contiplating quiting its been about 2 days and i feel a lot better compared to yesterday. i guess u could say my excuse for smoking weed is lifes short and it makes everything better and im a big wiz khalifa fan that prob doesnt help either lol. it does make things better. but as with a lot of people on here your life starts to revolve around it. after reading these my oponion on weed has changed ill always thaught it made u high and feel good like other drugs but isnt nearly as bad for u. i guess weed isnt for everyone. i might try switching product idk. its been messing with my head and iv been feelin a little crazy haha.BUT everytime i get high and drunk i just feel like numb almost like they cancell eachother out i looked like a boss takin shots and rippin bongs n gravs left n right at a party cause it wasnt even effecting me. but i ate a weed cookie 2 days ago and it was a amazing high i felt great forgot i even ate the cookie didnt get paranoid or anything. try mixing up the way u smoke might help. im just so young about to be 18 in a few days and i love weed. i almost  dropped out of school cuase i would stay home and smoke weed to! i think ill try going a month without it just to prove to myself that i can. but a lot of my family and friends smoke but iv just been getting weird when i smoke and not the good weird lol. so tempted so smoke tho havent eaten right was feeling depressed i guess cause i didnt whant to do ANYTHING. like u coulda given me a million dollars i coulda cared less lol. im young and just whant the best for myself and if that meens quittin i will. good luck to everyone!

hi well i hope you dont drop out of high school just cuz of weed its not worth it it. anyways its good that you want to stop because you still can wit no major side effects.(ur lucky) i on the other hand was suppose to stop smoking for my new years resulution so much for that sh!t. i tried the first week but i was soo sick and i dont drink so i couldnt suppress it with beer and my anxiety kicked in hard. so i didnt quit i actually smoke even more now im purchasing up to 1 - 2 ounces per week plus blunts plus gas its all a waste of money not worth it. im slowwly triying to smoke less and less but it gets hard cuz i smoke blunts like ciggs. as soon as i wake up, when ever i leave my house, as soon as i get back home, if im close by my house ill pass by and have me a smoke brake,i dnt drive around with it cuz i live in az and there assholes out here. its so bad that i even wake up in the middle of the night jus to smoke. people might think im exagerrating but not unless uve been through it u wont understand.

I have been smoking since i was 13 and I can say. nothing good has come out of it. my friend i have known since i was 8 doesnt hangout with me as much, im jobless and no gf. im 21 now about to be 22. i just wanna succeed in life to where I will be stable. Reading all of this shows that its all in the mind. and im about 2 smoke my last bowl and start this journey like I should have years ago. this page is really great also, i tryed stopping 2-3weeks ago and it was hell. I have too much drama around me so im thinking the beach would be nice since I live in SD. I just hope and pray people see that I wanna do better. In my heart I wanna but this weed is dragging me down, and being depressed doesnt help either. seeing what people have lost or are going through shows it will bring negative effects. Idk how much ive spent on it, but let me tell you what I coulda bought. a car/ an appartment to live in and many more things. I would love to have a gf but I personally believe once I stop ill find one. and plus it makes my teeth yellow as hell and I HATE it. I screwed up in highschool and didnt graduate until 6months after my class did. just goes to show If you got the will, there is always a way. and for everyone on here who has stopped or is trying too..I tip my hat too you.

 

Wish me luck.

I am currently four days since my last puff. leading up to today as gotten progressively worse but it is good to hear all of the positive feedback coming from everyone on the site. I have read some commentary on whether the withdrawals have to do with smoking poor quality product. These accusations are very false. I have worked at a medical dispensary in San Diego, California for the past two years and have smoked what many would call the dankest sh*t out there as i have sold, smoked, and help grow many a top shelf strain from around the country (this is not me attempting to brag, rather to show the authenticity of what i am stating. Aside from that, everyones posts have been helpful in clearing up many of the questions I have about myself as i suffer through this. IF ANYONE CAN ANSWER THIS QUESTION... i would like to have an idea as to when these cravings and head/stomach aches will end. feel free to send me an email if you have any clues. thanks and may Elune's blessings shower over you all!
