i havent smoked weed for 3 or 4 days and i used to go through about 1 gram a day for half a year (sorry for my english). i wasnt even trying to quit i just haven't really had the chance to smoke weed. the symtoms can be very very bad for me. (i dont know if all these are caused by weed). my main symtom is annoying headaches that come on slowly their in the back of my head and they can get pretty pretty painful. i also have this feeling of disconnection and can be pretty irritable... esspecially towards my father... i get feelings of severe depression and i hate it... it does not feel good at all. also even the slightlest thing can piss me off or even make me cry... for example last night my step mom was asking me why i was mad at her ( i was mad at her because she was trying to get me to quit pot and me being an ignorant teenager i woulld think to myself "she so wrong, weed does not have any bad side effects, but the biggest one would be it's my life i should get to choose what i want". i also have extreme loss of appetite alot of anxiety. oh i forgot to mention my headaches were always at the same time every day. They would start at 9pm and wouldnt end till i rested. i should also mention i have a caffine addiction also like a heavy one i go through about a pot of coffee each day. i also tend to shake alot and also get alot of eye floaties and and my headaches seem to move from the back of my head to my eyeball. i have been thinking about quiting mostly due to the fact i had a panic attack (a severe one) this one time i smoked weed. i thought i was haveing an anurysm or something because i had a headache, and i was really really high. ( an estimate on how much a smoked was maybe a gram, however one of the pipes their was absolutley huge about a foot an a half tall. I also have trouble talking for example i talk very fast and seem to say the words gross and piss alot idk why like for example when im mad il go "OHHH PISS". and when i use the word gross il be like "awe wow what a gross kid". idk why that stands out but idk... its very weird to because i feel always high almost well not really right now its only a slight feeling, But i thinks its do to the thc still left in my system. i dont go outside alot. and weed caused me to be trapped on my computer searching up symtoms of these terrible headaches i have. sometimes the headache is followed by this weird unexplainble feeling in my head it feels like my head is warm on the inside and a bit light headed. also after smokeing weed my mind seems to race really fast.

now im goint to explain the emotional  symtoms (if your already tired of ready the physicial symtoms this one is going to be pretty long, sorry im trying to make it as detailed as possible because some stuff is really almost unexplainable.) to start off i have gotten into drinking a bit to and i have smoked ciggeretes a few times to a while ago (not being able to get addicted to them). I sometimes get strange theroies under the subject of phsycoligy. for example i made this theroy that what if when we sleep were liveing a whole other life, or what if i see the color blue and someone else sees the color blue to her blue may be diffrent looking from my blue but since shes been taught her whole life that she thinks it blue. (bi polar runs in my family by the way and i may have some social dissorder. i also think im a hypochondriach however i have never been diagnosed, exept for the social problems.) ever since i havent been smokeing weed ive lost intrest in all things like hanging out with friends, playing video games , even playing on my computer(this used to be my hobby i used to program stuff... My hobby has litterally turned into pot. and thats about it. i also get this feeling like im disconected and when im trying  to concentrate on something i get distracted by my own thoughts they seem to be deep and intuitive. i also get these constant re occuring thoughts in my head that are kind of pointless. their mostly in the form of images and their like the ones you get when your high. their quite well... dumb to me. they seem really stupid. i cant really explain them and im not going to go into any depth on what they are because i get way to many of them. it seems theirs a new one every day. i also seemed to get really really really paranoid that i have some sort of life threating medicial conditions, no matter what even if i try ignoreing them. it really makes me mad. i seem to get into alot of arguments with my family latley and some really really bad things in my family have "gone down" recently how ever im not going to get into my life story. Also me and my dad seem to get into alot of arguments, well me and people. they seem to be over dumb things like riligion (not saying riligeon is dumb but its a dumb thing to argue over). im not a riligous person but my father seems to be. im an atheist acctually. i also have gotten a few tactile halucinations (feeling something that isnt their). but only once and that was when i had that panic attack (listed in first part the one with the big pipe).  it felt like water was leeking out of my skin and puring down my arms. Alot of my friends have also seem to be leaveinig some however have been due to me ignoreing them. my bestfriend that ive known since i was 6 hasnt talked to me in what seems forever. and it seems to be my only friend is my cat. sometimes however i choose to be solitary. my sisters boyfriend is the only person who really intrestests me now. and my other friend. both of them haveing autism. ive also been into psycology and physics latley idk why. and me and my sister always get into conversations about what seems like the same things everyday. ive also got some suicidal thoughts because of my depression (its been going on for a long time im only 15 and its been going on since forver and its only gotten worse) but pot seemed to get rid of that even when i wasnt on it. it just made me happy. i havent really tried any other drugs only salvia and i planed on trying shrooms and lsd. now thinking about it, it sounds quite stupid. i dont go outside alot anymore i stay inside alot. but when i do go outside i feel alot better. (btw i have a few mental issues nothing to bad though nothing like autism or phsycosis.) mostly learning dissorders. well from what the government and my school program has said. but im getting out of the school program im in.


anyways, if you are a regular pot smoke i suggest you quit seriously (atleast if your under the age of 23). your brain is still devolping and it can cause some serious damage.) i really think i should quit pots "anti depressive qualitys" are not worth it. because i get pleanty of withdrawl symtoms. anyways i would like to say im 15, and im also a male. i also forgot to mention i get not alot of sleep. almost none. Please could anyone else tell me if you have the same symtoms?

I don't smoke, never liked it, so I don't know exactly what you are going through. Weed has ruined a lot of things and opportunities for you, nothing or no one should EVER have that much control over you.

The first step to stopping an addiction is to realize you have one, to me it sounds like you do indeed have one, so you need to ask yourself "Am i addicted to smoking weed?" if your answer is yes then you need to do something about this and not let it continue to ruin your life!

The next step is self control...you need to control your actions since your mind is making it seem like you are going crazy(btw you are NOT going crazy, it's just the weed talking so don't ever think that).

So you now need to comunicate with your family...talk to them and tell them what's going on and how you feel. Always be the bigger person:)

And if your symptoms continue to get worse, go to your doctor and get checked out and let them help you...people are not the enemy here...weed is.

Try to have a positive outlook, or attitude! I'm not saying be the HAPPIEST guy on earth I'm just saying smile more, comunitcate with people and starting conversations, and look at the good side of every situation, it always helps.

It's really good that you decided that you needed help, some kids out there are still trapped in this crazy world because of weed, but the difference between you and them is that you spoke up and demanded change...which is AMAZING!

So don't let weed continue to control your life and your actions anymore...go seek real help, there are people out there willing to help you...I promise. It's good to change for the better:)

And remember that you are not alone in this, theres always someone you could talk to rather it be a therapist, a close friend, your sister, another family member, someone on here or even your cat! Just anyone who can listen because it's really importnant that you get your feelings out no matter what.

I wish you lots of love, hun!

Goodluck & Godbless<3

Hi Jordar,

 

It is definitely a possibility that you are suffering with weed withdrawals.

 

I did go through your post & there are a lot of symptoms synonomous with cannabis withdrawal. I won't go in to a long one- check out a recent post of mine in a thread entitled' Ma break up wif mary jane' in the Cannabis Addiction of this message forum. I will add that I do have personal experience- on a number of sides to this argument and I absolutely agree with your statements & the things you've been experiencing.

 

Marijuana is not a nice drug to come off, despite it's 'happy, hippy, no effects' stigma from bygone years.

 

HighlyFavored-Love- loving your posts, I have to say. Kudos on your advice- it's diamond.

 

Best of wishes to you both.

Hello, I was a heavy smoker of medical marijuana for about a year i would sit in this very room and cruise on some bluts while vaporizing some of the most potent weed you can imagine, I loved it (I am 15 myself) i felt like my worries were so far away when i was baked. I had PTSD and GAD which both got triggered about a month before i started toking as well as IBS. I thought the weed was making it all better and like i said kept up the habbit for a year untill about 3 weeks ago, I was vaporizing some Norwegian Kush and at first just a normal high but then i started having a feeling in my chest i stood up and ended up having a full on panic attack for the first time ever.. so then i thought it over and realized that the weed is just a band-aid so when you quit your opening up the wound and making everything so much more real. Anyway i smoked a bit in the days following the panic attack and i would just get really paranoid and in the mornings i would feel like sh*t, Scared hopeless alone and depressed. So last week i quit i have been sober for the past 4-5 days which for me is a lot my appetite is gone and my anxiety is boiling up so trust me i know how hard it is. Now what helps me is exercise i body-build but even a nice long walk, or something to get the thc out of your body faster also i found that yoga and meditation are lifesavers maybe you'll laugh at meditation but it can do amazing things and really relax you and yoga is amazing for me and my PTSD. So good luck my friend stay strong and sober.
