Marijuana withdrawal sucks

i guess ill add to this with my bad grammar i experienced withdrawals also from not smoking anymore i had a sour stomach for a week along with insomnia and rage but if you burn your self out during the day (exercise or some sort of heavy sweaty work) it fixes that and you sleep sitting around all day and thinking about it doesn't help keep busy

Totally agree re: the dreams! I had crazy dreams when I gave up smoking weed. One positive thing about weed, is that even if you are super addicted, like it says here [link] you don't end up needing some other drug to come off it (withdrawal) like in the case of heroin. That I can't imagine.

I hear from lots of people who experience many different symptoms as a result of quitting marijuana, anxiety, depression and insomnia are the most common.

I'm a very heavy cannabis smoker, and when cut off the main things I notice are -

- annoyance at having no weed
- remembering dreams with hugely increased technicolor and intensity...

both of these thing pass within about 72 hours and I feel quite normal.

as a side note, I've noticed that when I'm taking time off weed, if I go out the amount of alcohol I can drink in a sitting fucking skyrockets.

when I'm smoking (not necessarily at the same time, just smoking regularly), I tend to lose all interest in drinking after 3-4 drinks. It just isin't as pleasurable.

"As a side note, I can say that the dreams you have when withdrawing from heavy marijuana use are unlike any other you will have in your life..."

Ain't that the truth....!

I can only speak for myself of course, but I was a daily smoker for about 8 solid years before quitting cold-turkey sometime around 2 years ago (it wasn't by choice, but out of necessity for reasons I'll keep private). I have no memories of any kind of short-term withdrawal symptoms, though I imagine I may have had some minor symptoms that mostly went unnoticed by me.

There have been some longer term problems due to the fact that cannabis was a near perfect treatment for my currently un-diagnosed bi-polar condition. It also helped to manage my diagnosed clinical depression and anxiety problems.

All of these medical conditions have become much worse since I stopped partaking of the medicine. Unfortunately I live in a state where there are no medical cannabis laws that would protect me, so for now I suffer through those previously mentioned conditions, plus a new one of chronic nerve pain sustained in a back injury, while attempting to treat them with prescription narcotics, anti-depressants and other medications which are barely effective and full of side effects I'd rather be rid of (not to mention I'd love to not be supporting the pharmaceutical-industrial complex as much as possible).

All that to say: for some cannabis certainly isn't addictive, and it has no noticeable side-effects when stopped hard and fast.

I would also like to add that I have recently conceded my hardline stance that marijuana is not addictive, having gone through crushing withdrawal for a week recently. I simply couldn't function when I had any free time.

They were the same six. The author was going through marijuana withdrawal.

I think there's an error in the last quoted paragraph, since it contrasts two statements which are equivalent...
