hey everyone. im in the same boat as everyone here and i am really struggling!! all of my friends and my girlfriend all smoke cannabis so im constantly finding myself surrounded by temptation! the anxiety i have been experiencing is extremely evident throughout my day to day life and i have found it very difficult to say the least!! doing things as simple as going to town is now impossible without some kind of inconvenience weighing me down mentally. i keep trying to prepare myself for the day that i quit but then when it comes i fail hands down within the first few days because of how much of an influence it has had on my life over the last 6 years. i feel like i cant live without it! although i know this isn’t true my mind still tells me it is! im going to try again and as hard as i can because this addiction is ruining my life. hopefully with the help of websites such as this and some motivation (and a bit of patience) from my girlfriend i will get through this in one piece and get my life back on track once and for all. thanks again for all the comments and information on this website it has proved extremely useful!!!

First of all weight loss and loss of the desire to eat is NOT pleasant. I am skinny as it is and quiting made me skinner! But I leveled out.

Quiting pot IS NOT all in the head. New studies have shown that you go through physical detox from pot and happy thoughts alone don’t cut it! Mind you mental preparation and educating yourself for the detox road ahead will help. Just take suppliments, be kind to yourself and be proud of what you are doing.

I purchased Gary Evans course – it helped me with the mental preparation and excellent info, but still I did not quit until a year after I puchased it; but that was up to me and not Mr. Evans. It was only when I was sick and tired of being sick and tired that I stopped. When I made a decision that was solid that I really wanted to quit – then yes it was easier and the withdrawls were welcome to a degree that it told me I was on the right path. Then Gary’s advice kicked in and helped.

I like this articles comment on the low grade anxiety – I totally felt weird with my clear head and uncomfortable. It was surreal and I was even paranoid a bit – but it passed thankfully quickly compared to other drugs for sure.

I am a parent; and since being clean I see my child is happier too – she sits with me more; is calm and happy – my negative behaviour with pot was reflecting on her. If I had seen that sooner then later I would of quit years ago.

GOOD LUCK and God Bless – yes, if you try you can be ‘high on life’ – sorry for the cliche but you can.

Hugs everyone!

I´m a addict to skunk, and i can say that the withdrawal lasts many weeks. If someone smoked a lot for a long time the withdrawal symptoms last for a long time. I´m talking about more than 3 month sometimes much more.
About the physical effects they are similar to heroin (chills, cold sweats, feeling cold/freezing,insomia, hotflashes, nausea, vomiting, stomach cramps, diarrhea, high blood pressure, etc) with some differences: heroin gives intense physical symptoms that lasts 3 days and than you have more 12 days of mild symptoms. In the case of skunk, is like a rollercoaster: the symptoms come and go, come and go and lasts many weeks how i said. One more difference is the loss of appetite in skunk withdrawal, you can´t eat properly for a week and this is very dangerous.
The worse symptoms are the emotional… psycosis, depression, anxiety that makes you nuts, nightmares when you can sleep (the insomia is very strong), memory problems.
Finally, cannabis is a bronchodilator so if you used daily for a long time you can have some shortness of breath when you stop using because of the bronchoconstriction (opposite effect).
THC is a hard drug, the addiction and the consequences can be worse than heroin or cocaine. Skunk has high THC level so, if you don´t want to live in hell, don´t touch this stuff. Never.

So.. I am 22 years old. I have been smoking pretty much everyday sense I was 18 years old. I never thought weed was addictive in fact my grandparents would always beg me to not smoke and explain WHY it was so bad and what it would do to me in the long run. I would always just laugh about it. When I would smoke I felt better, calm and happier. It made it easier to hang out with my friends and family. Life seemed better. I started smoking so much over the past few years I did nothing without being high, and when I would think about being sober I had no idea what it was even like to feel sober. I always said I could quit anytime no problem. But that wasn’t true. Each time I would run out of weed I would get ancey and cranky. Finally about two weeks ago I decided to quit, I had already quit smoking cigs on my own so I thought it wouldn’t be a problem to quit weed. I haven’t smoked in two weeks, the first few days I wanted to smoke then I started sleeping TERRIBLE and having terrible dreams. I would wake up all night long and just lay there. I have terrible anxiety. Somedays I have been really good, other days I feel like I am freaking out. Like this morning, I got up for work I drive about an hour and a half to my job on my way here I felt like my heart was beating really fast, like I was going to loose my mind. I have headaches. and when the end of the day comes I feel like I am full of anxiety and panic. So I have been told these things will wear off so I will wait. I am trying to have self control but seems like I cant help it when I start having these little panic attacks. But I don’t want to go back to smoking even though I LOVE weed. I might as well get through it now. I feel like I have already went through the hardest part. Anyway, hope everyone sticks to quitting too! I know it will be worth it in the long run
