wow! i am in the exact same position. i quit when i was prego and started again and now my daughter is two years old and i am sick of this plant running my life. i know i am a good mom. but i know i would be better minus weed. i have made the decision to give it up as well and this time for good. i agree with you about the money spent on it and the TOLERANCE. i can smoke some of the bombest purp and it doesn't even phase me. so it's like what is the point anymore? i hope things work out for you! i'm am on my second day sober today and i am not turning back. =] GOOD LUCK MAMAS! I WISH YOU ALL THE BEST!

I'm 52 and been smoking day and night for 38 years! lol Well three weeks ago I quit cold turkey!

Guess what? I can't sleep for three weeks now! I feel like i'm going insane! WTF!

I tried sleeping pills but it made me feel like a zombie. I don't crave any more but I just can't f-ing sleep.

I feel like i'm going to snap... what should I do? Drink my self into a stuper?( I don't drink) I'm taking some vicodin be it has me wired.

My Dr is a real ass hole so he don't know. I'm changing doctors. Should I count sheep, drink warm milk? WTF! Just how long can a person go without sleep? I feel so sleepy but when I lay down My mind is going a mile a min. Eyes won't shut! Also cant eat, and sh*t water! I'm at the end of my f=ing rope. WTF! should I do? Just wait it out? what else is there to do? I want to live! need help soon....

My experience in quitting weed is as such:

For the first 2 weeks, you'll go through hell. You hardly sleep, you become despondent, depressed, tired, angry....

But after 2 weeks cravings disappear totally and you're normal.

You have to wait it out but you should be okay. If you want, you need to use sleeping pislls. I know that you don't want to feel like a zombie but it helps you. If you hold out through this first month it DOES get better. Keep us posted okay

Do not be afraid to take an OTC sleeping pill or at least some herbal sedative.


I'm lucky, I've been smoking cannabis pretty steadily for over 10 years but when I quit its fine after three days. Maybe because I have withdrawled from opiates and alcohol at separate times?

Im 26 and been smoking since 13. I havent smoked in a week. Im not a drinker but since i stopped ive been drinking all the time. I think likr is much tthan weed. I refuse to take OTC drugs cuz i OD on everything. If Im sober I dont sleep. What do i do? It's not a weed thing cuz when i was younger i went through insomnia. Thats actually when i started smokin once i realized how much eazier it was to go to sleep. Does anyone know a natural way to pass out??

Man, a lot of you sure are giving weed a bad name... all the 'addiction' is mental, none physical, so just have a strong mind.

I actually feel that by smelling weed and/or a pipe/bong you've smoked out of recently will trick your body into thinking it actually has it, but of course you know that you're not actually smoking it. When I feel nauseous, toking up makes me feel a lot better but when I don't have/can't smoke, I just use my trick and it usually helps pretty quickly.

I am 31 years old have been smoking now for 5 or 6 years every night to go to sleep, literally one or two hits right before bed. a 1/4 will last me a month or so. been wanting to quit for some time just could never do it. Well I am doing it . It has been 36 hours since I have slept, my body is so tired, but my mind is racing. I know that eventually I will crash just hope it is sooner then later.

this sh*t is horrible, i've quit pot in the past and i've started sleeping normally within the next week, but this is stupid, i didn't sleep last night and i'm struggling to get more than 2+ hours without a couple of tokes of chong. I'm not into dropping pills if it can be helped, is there a better alternative than sleeping meds?

I have been a heavy smoker of grassand solid for 15 years constant now! last night i decided enough was enough i dont even want to tell you how much ive spent on the stuff but it's around 4k a year and that's not including skins and tobacco! So i never slept a win last night..... oh and too the boso that said it'll last two weeks thats a load oh c**p it takes 30 days or more to leave your blood stream and that all depends on how long you'v moked and how often....... this is gnna be hard but if lie me you can kick coke or ecstacy orhave a baby then im su i can get through this..... i think the worstof it is there is a little man in my head saying " why are you doing this weed is good weed is great!!!! then another saying quit it it's bad....... and i do love the smoke but am tired of tring to find a dealer and texting him etc..... i hate dry ups so ths is why i have decided to do it (and for my health))))))

You know, if I could sleep at night without it, I wouldn't miss weed at all. I don't get high off it now (even the strongest strains) through years and years of constant use (10 double-skinned J's a day usually at a minimum) and I don't like how dull and predictable it's made me. I was guestimating in my lunch break today at how much money I've spent over the years on it and it's well in excess of £50,000. I used to smoke it as I loved just how into music, film and culture I became while stoned and that I always had a mate somewhere who was up and was smoking. Now I hardly see anyone outside of work, I have a deadend job, no GF, I am skint by the end of the 1st week of the month and right now I feel like smashing up my house as I ran out last night and I know that I have at least 7 days until I'm next paid.

I am a drug addict.

It's really unnecessary.

Marijuana is very clearly addictive. For a little backround information about myself I am currently 23 years old, and until 80 days ago I had been a pot head for nearly six years. I smoked a lot of weed, sometimes almost an eighth a day. And let me tell you this, for all you people who believe you cant quit weed and there is no one out there that can help you, you are so wrong. And let me further clarify this, quitting the addictive substance that is marijuana is arguably the hardest thing I have ever done and am still struggling to accept. Seventy eight days sober, and I still crave that cigar filled with sticky green. But there are people who are willing to help. Your friends can help you, even if they are potheads, that is as long as they are true friends. Your family will support you. A counselor will help you if you take the time to go to one. My counselor has changed the person I am. Not only did he help me quit marijuana, but he helped me become a better person, he helped me set myself on a path toward a career. He is a great man, and although I paid him for his time, I think he truly wanted to help me. But more to the point, he helped me help myself.

Now on to the subject, the reason it is so hard to sleep when you've just recently quit smoking marijuana is that you have associated sleeping with being high. For the past (however long you've been smoking) almost every time you passed out at night or during the day was when you were stoned. Some of you I'm sure even smoked right before you went to bed because it helped you sleep. So now you have this co-dependency on marijuana to help you sleep. Youve made yourself think that if I'm not high I will not be able to sleep, because every time I slept before I was high. Let me be frank with you-- You have to accept that this is the truth and to get over it you must accept that no longer will you be able to go to sleep high.

So what can you do when youre lieing there in your bed, stressing because you have to wake up early, you feel like sh*t, and you cant sleep? Well...not much. What you should have done was during the day. First off, eat healthy. Limit your caffeine, junk food, and fast food. Secondly, exercise a shitload. And I do not mean a walk down to the park. I mean an aching four mile run. I mean something that is going to make you feel so damn tired that you have got to lay down and pass out later. Best suited for the situation is an hour long cardio session or yoga. Weightlifting, especially strength training, is not likely to leave you as exhausted as you would like, but everything helps. Lastly do not sleep or nap during the day because if you nap you will not be tired later. And from my experience when I am laying in bed and its passing two AM and I know have to wake up at eight, I am pissed I took that nap earlier.

In conclusion to all people going through rough times. Stick with it. Live day by day. Before you know it. It'll be a month, two months, six months down the road. And you'll wonder how you ever were able to smoke as much weed as you did for so many days straight.
