Wow unbelievable, i am going through the saame thing D:
Ive been smoking the greens everyday all the time since the summer. Its all i ever do with my time. Its all i ever think about.
But now i cant sleep, eat or anything. Nothing seems fun anymore. Just seems so ordinary and plain. Nothing new.
My highs suck nao too, their so boring and drowsy...
I just want to be able to sleep again man :-(
i used to pass out by like 7 pm , now its like 3 am...
3 days of soberness (Y)

Anaerobic exercise like lifting weights or running until you get a "runners high" really helps get those happy chemicals back in your brain. Also, drink red wine because it has the chemical in it that tells your body that it needs to be tired when it's ). Weed has been putting all sorts of chemicals in your brain and now you need a week or so to feel normal. Also, keeping yourself busy all day doing productive things is the only way to keep away the stress (depression and anxiety) that you've been using weed to deal with. You'll get over it, I did. :-D
Nyquil dude. its cheap. its over the counter. and its a 100% sure to knock u on ur ass for a good 8 hour sleep. just do it for the first week or so and come off it and try to sleep. thats what i do. when im off pot i cant sleep and i sweat allot and my mind is like racing. the nyquil is an awesome way to put u out. that or some warm whiskey.
I stumbled across this thread while looking up some information about quitting cigarettes. Being an herb smoker myself, of eight or so years now (not steady, I have quit a handful of times, the longest for probably 8 months), I can't help but comment. I would agree with most posters that the worst part of quitting is the lack of sleep. Having quit many times, I can assure you that it is not that you are withdrawing and can't sleep. The problem is, you have for so long, numbed your mind to sleep at the end of each night. So you come home from work, start hitting the bong, and with each subsequent hit, you slow yourself down a bit more. By the end of the night, your mind isn't exactly at its sharpest. This is why you fall asleep so quickly. Because you aren't thinking. In my experience, this has always been what has prevented me from sleeping: the fact that I'm still thinking. I usually take it upon myself to retrain myself to fall asleep, by focusing on breathing exercises and clearing my mind (while in bed). It usually takes a week or two before my mind is used to shutting off when I decide that it's bedtime.
Whatever your reasons for quitting, I'd suggest you consider one of my favourite quotes on the subject: "I have zero tolerance for the notion that sobreity is the time-tested root to mind expansion" - Bill Maher. Kinda made me think about the reasons I've given myself for quitting. Good luck to all of you.

I experience the exact opposite, whenever I quit for a while (cause i couldn't find any) I got really sleepy and lazy ALL the time. It was crazy! I would lay around and yawn all day. Then as soon as I started smoking again I returned to my normal energy level. Pot isn't addictive, jeez, you guys that say it is are just dorks. It doesn't ruin your life either. I'm graduating with a degree in biochemistry and have already been accepted into one of the top colleges of pharmacy in the nation, all done while smoking regularly.
Hey everybody, just thought I'd post something here because I'm truly thinking about my future and the smoking of marijuana. I've been smoking bud for 9 years straight now, occasionally I will need to quit due to a weekend trip, but I always figured a way around that like edibles or maybe smoke out of an apple when possible. I somehow got through Citrus College, which is a state community college, and yet I was always stoned. Not to long ago I applied for a medical marijuana card here in California, and before I knew it the doctor was already asking me for 150 dollars for the year of being a patient. I do admit I have generalized anxiety, but this could be from smoking marijuana as long as I did. Overall I just wish I wasn't dependent on marijuana... I'd like to go to class sober (not high) and see what that's like, but for some reason I tend to take that hit before class. I go through an eighth in 3 days easily which is a bad sign already.. spending over $120 on bud weekly. One of these days I might get over it, but until then I'm going to keep smoking. Smoking a smaller amount also would probably help me a little bit, like maybe night times or something? ?
i smoked weed everyday, for 4 years. 3 cannabis cups and loved it. one night i took a draw from a joint and completely whacked out. it triggered some sort of psychosis. so i stopped. its been 10 months now, the first few months i probably tripped more with withdrawal than i did with any other drug. so if you want the ultimate trip out - stop doin it for a while haha. im laughing coz its the only thing you can do, it was a major part of my life and it brought me and my friends together at the time. now i know im not happy with it, i dont do it. i got a new group of friends because i can't be around my old friends anymore.
life is crazy.
i love the old bong smelling trick or if i get a whiff of cannabis, i completely mellow out. i still believe cannabis chilled me out and allowed me to focus better so i aint a hypocrit but i did change my mind on whether i wanted to continue with it im not demonising it at all. SativeX (google it) looks like it could be an alternative for me to keep THC'in it, but the side-effect of whacked out panic - which im assuming the weed triggered i cant be doing with. now im still stressin, panikin, agitated, really over analytical to the point you could label alot of stuff on it. but dont go reading psychological books or youll make yourself feel worst.
try herbal youll love it. relaxation techniques. do them. if you dont do something else you can just keep doing the same thing. why do more of what isnt working? read personal development books, get soul food. use your brain for a change! ;-)
its simple; do more of the stuff you love and less of the stuff you dont love
do more things that energise you and less things that drain you.
freedom is a state of mind. i wish u prosperity.

i know what you feel...ive been smoking in the philippines everyday for oneyear when i went here since i dont have source or anything like that its easy to stop i remember i just had like 1 or 2 F*&^ed up nights that i dream about smoking with my friends then i woke up sweating but its nothing like im feeling now.. then after a couple of months i met a new dealer here in california i started smoking again for 3 months straight with danks almost every hour of the day im stoned before any activites i will do i will get high first... then my parents found out i smoked, so i stopped for the second time... then this time its harder.. i feel depressed but i can fight it during the day i just talk to friends or gf and i feel alright not happy but im not craving or anything.. but when im about to go to bed.. its a completely diffrent situation.. i cant sleep.. im trying not to think about it but it keeps popping in my head like how can i score again and smoke without them knowing then im gonna think no i need to stop! then no matter what i do i cant sleep.. tonight i will take tylenol and see how it goes.. im not fan of sleepaids
I find it hard to believe someone with a degree in science would discredit every single person here saying they are withdrawing and have lack of sleep. You might not have the symptoms others are feeling, but by no means does it give you the right to call them "dorks". You are an ignorant person, and you should be ashamed of yourself.

It is habit forming and can effect sleeping patterns. It is a psychoactive substance. Your response is useless, serves no purpose and does not help anyone.
Anyways I am in night two of no cannabis, I have been smoking for about 10 years, with some breaks thrown in. Sinsemilla only for the past five. I didn't sleep all that well last night, and I'm not feeling tired now.
My suggestion is to not be afraid to take a sleeping med or two for the first few nights. Have a beer or three if you want as well, just do not replace the habit with booze.

Wow, I feel better now .. I am going through the same thing. Very frustrating.. but nice to know that stopping is what is causing me to not sleep. I hope I can sleep soon without too many health problems from no sleep.

:-( yea guys/gals,
I feel the same as you. i SMOKED WEED FOR ALMOST TWO DECADES,AND RECENTLY QUIT (7months)
I find that i got to keep talking to myself,and tricking my mind into all the reasons to keep going. Also to prove to myself that i can stop weed for good.I go to the ocean and look all around,and realize what it`s like to be real,and not numb on weed.Now i can face my troubles for real,and not hide,or sneak off,and smoke my stinky weed because i only thought it was what i needed.I actually feel that I grew up since i quit so far.Even though I was a grown up many years ago.Weed made me stuck in a shell of dope,and video games, or time wasting ,and all the good things like overeating,take out when i love to cook but don`t.and lack of ambition,or planning events or making plans,or keeping promises.
I think weed makes people selfish,they stay away from non smokers,and related events unless there is no choice,or they want to keep there habit secret. I coulden`t do anything at the end unless i had some smoke,at the same time,I was not looking at what was really important.I always loved my weed,but now i feel its long term effects,and i am tired of living in a fog.
I really hope that i can find support here.Please feel free to contact me for friendship,or just a person to chat with that can relate.

It's 230 in the morning. My stomach feels gross and Im extremely frustrated. It's an emotional dependance, this I know. how to overcome this lack of sleepyness is beyond me. I managed to quit for a semester in college but now im out waiting for my career to start living at my girlfriends appartment BORED ALL F***ING DAY LONG. So I started smoking again and now its worse then ever. It seems like smoking is harmless while your doing it. My grades never faltered. My relationship with friends and family was always great. However, the effects of quitting the junk definatly out weigh the fun of being high. If you read this and you are thinking about getting into smokin the green stuff... Dont bother.
