Marijuana detox symptoms is something people don’t really like to talk about very much. I guess the reason for that might be that if people knew what a pot smoker goes through when he tries to quit, no one would actually decide to do it.
I mean, if you think about it, smoking is actually kind of nice. You get to experience something you’ve never felt before and you really get to see the world a little differently. Granted, you see it different because you’re on drugs, but still, everything does look different.
So, what are those symptoms? Let me talk to you about a few.
1. You sweat madly.
That’s the first thing you’ll notice when you get through detox. You really won’t be able to stop sweating. I don’t just mean a regular hot-day type of sweating. I mean the wake-up-in-the-middle-of-the-night-all-soaked kind of sweating. I still remember when it first happened to me. Fortunately, I am clean now, but when I first got the sweats, I really thought there is something very wrong with me. Fortunately they always go away after some time.
2. Would you like to stay up all night?
Well, you will now. That’s one of the marijuana detox symptoms that almost everyone will suffer from. I mean, just think about it. Your body wants to smoke, your mind wants to smoke, but you force it on them and tell them that you won’t. I wouldn’t necessarily expect to sleep like a baby if I were you.
3. You, you, you.
Well, don’t feel too alarmed when you realize that you can’t stop thinking about yourself in this tough time. I mean, you’ll want to smoke and that’s all you’ll be able to think about. You’ll be concerned with how YOU feel, what YOU do and what YOU need to do to get through this. It might be that you’ll yell at someone for no reason only because you’ll be very upset. That’s perfectly normal. Just let them know beforehand that a thing like that might take place so that they are more prepared for it.
4. Loneliness.
That’s another one of those marijuana detox symptoms that no one really likes or talks about much. You’ll probably get really introvert and won’t have a desire to talk to anyone at all. That will lead to loneliness and in some cases self pity or even depression. If you know yourself enough to know that you might have suicidal thoughts, then go and get some professional help. Otherwise, this will pass and you’ll be fine.
Those are the few marijuana detox symptoms I wanted to tell you about. They will all pass and you won’t remember them soon. For now, just hang in there.

I am from Brazil and, I started smoking pot when I was 13. I think that I had smoked for almost 30 years when i think about this i fell very depressed, after i quit smoking pot i started doing cocaine. my life got worse. what i want to say , I wasted almost my whole life I could have gone to college but my addcition didn’t allow me to do it , now i live around Boston I am working in a landscap company, what i am trying to say, i should be a doctor or enginner or have others professions and now i see my son doing the same thing that I used to do I have seeen my boy stoned all the times after he graduated from high school he just smokes pot and eat all the time it make me sad because I know the end, I am a cool dad I always give some advices to him but I know when we’re young we don’t care about it’, at this moment I am felling very depressed, and I am asking myself, what I have done with my life, am I a loser? the only thing that i have noticed is that, the time doesn’t wait for our decisions, it is our worse enemy.Here goes some advices. quit smoking or doing any drugs I am 50 I am sober for 8 years .God bless all of you.
I agree about the insomnia. This is definitely a physical side effect. Marijuana must have sedative effects for me. Sleeping tablets are key here. OTC ones work for 2 or 3 days and then stop working no matter how many you take. I once took 20 in a desperate attempt to sleep without any luck. They are just antihistamine. I tried Ativan and Zopiclone but now I use Trazodone off label. This particular withdrawal effect I believe is the longest lasting side effect from my previous quit attempts.
Loneliness but I would call it boredom rather than loneliness
Sweating is not so bad. But I live in Canada and it’s the middle of winter now. So I don’t expect to be sweating much. By the time summer rolls around I should be over that symptom hopefully.
And don’t forgot loss of appetite. Although not enough to be dangerous just annoying.
But the biggest withdrawal effect of all is having an urge to make a phone call.
There is one positive withdrawal effect : The return of dreams. Except of course the occasional nightmare.
It’s less difficult to quit marijuana than it is to give up a lover.
Hi don’t want to use real name,
I don’t thing things are as desperate as you think. Humans are a resilient species. Perhaps your job and your wife will be more understanding than you believe. And, depending on your job, as long as you agree to get help you should be fine. If I were a boss that would sound reasonable to me. Assuming you want to quit this might be the push you need.
Take care.
Smoked bud for 10 years and I’m now 18 days without a joint without reading all your comments I could not of done this, anxiety depression out of world feelings and pains in my chest. I thought I was alone as I had to leave my pot heads behind there’s no way you can do it with them around you! But please believe me you are not alone and this awful feeling will go and open up a new world of friends and self belief I walk the streets with a big smile on my face knowing I can do what ever I put my mind to. I know im not out if it yet and still get the odd anxious moment and slightly down can anyone tell me how long it does take for all these feelings to go or is it something that lies deeper within me ? The first 10 days were shocking guys but nothing beats feeling normal good luck
Hi guys Thank you all so much for all the great comments. I am a 27/f who has been smoking moderately-heavily (strong stuff) everyday basically for over 10 years. Aside from being a huge pothead I have a thyroid condition and struggle with lots of depression and anxiety and take medication from a psychiatrist. I have a serious LOVE/HATE relationship with weed but want to come off it so I can find my baseline and who I truly am, I don’t know Anymore, I think some people can smoke but with the mental health issues I have that don’t get better with therapy or pills I’m just looking to try something else… I have always sworn I would never give up weed (and when i tried barely lasted a day, but finally I (not my mom, dad, grandma) am ready to give this a wholehearted effort to find myself again. I’m just sick of being sick. Sick of being exhausted. Sick of being anxious. Sick of not liking myself and barely being able to function and having not much of a life. I know weed isn’t totally to blame but I finally admit it is a part of the problem in the big picture.
Anyway I’m at the end of day1 and I must admit I’m terrified of what’s to come, so far I just feel a bit on edge and craving to smoke. Gonna try and sleep soon, don’t think it’s gonna be easy. I heard days 4-10 are usually the worst so I’m nervous of what’s to come. I did yoga today and plan on keeping that up. I plan on drinking lots of water and taking hot baths but does anyway have tips on vitamins or teas or what kind of salts to put in the bath. Also any other pothead withdrawal tricks of the trade. Any advise and prayers greatly appreciated and I will do the same. Also if anyone wants a detox buddy
ok well sorry to go on forever but thanks again, I am gathering my strength from all of you!!
Much love

I’m 4 days quit now and decided to look online to see what the symptoms of withdrawal will be but I’m finding everyone feels different effects.
I’ve smoked for about 10 years. Most of the time it was pretty heavy going although i always held down jobs. These were daily grind service industry jobs and definitely not what I wanted to do but I always felt justified because I earnt my keep and spent it how I wanted. I really got into the weed culture, my family were never judgemental although my parents were never too comfortable with it.
Around 3 years ago I decided to quit using tobacco and stick to bongs. That would work on my own but if I smoked socially or with my sister, we’d be smoking joints, which would reactivate the nicotine addiction, which would make me irritable for days. Since this was a frequent occurrance it would mean my moods were pretty erratic, which lost me a few friends, I’m ashamed to say and made me quite unpopular at my job.
On the subject of my job, I hated it. It was low level, low income data-entry. I had a car, an apartment and had to feed myself. What I didn’t spend on that, I’d spend on weed, playing football and my band.
I decided one day 2 years ago that I wanted to make music for a living and be a sound engineer and so I decided to go to university. I had the idea that creativity and being high went hand in hand, which would be perfect. I decided to cut down my intake to weekends only so that I could study up, motivate myself and focus on this ambition. I became a lot more awake, energetic and alive. This should have given me a clue that quitting would be the best thing to do. It didn’t.
When I got to university I found that I could get stoned all day and it wouldn’t harm my work. Sometimes getting stoned in the morning would mean that I’d have composed a tune by the evening. Over the summer holiday I was cained 24/7 and I learned how to use Ableton Live and the soft synth Massive.
Now I’m halfway through my second year and the paranoia has started up, my money flows freely out of my account and I can’t concentrate. I’m 26 now and still single. If I try and chat to a pretty girl I’m pretty much useless and I just end up depressed and angry at myself.
4 days after quitting I feel more awake, motivated and alert. Therefore I have decided that I don’t want to waste any more of my life. I have to start a business, save money, cope with a new adult situation and a career. All the skills I have learnt will undoubtedly go to waste if I cannot motivate myself. I will end up back at a crappy day job with a static paycheck and a load of student loans to pay off if I keep smoking weed.
As I say, I’m on day 4. This time I’m not cutting down. I’m quitting full-stop. The time is right. Thanks everyone for sharing their stories, it’s been a great help and I wish you all the best in living a life of a sober person.
I for one feel like a better person for having had weed in my life. It’s been a lovely little picnic but the adult world is waiting for me to get my shit together. If I don’t it will leave me behind.
Peace!
Hi everyone. I have been smoking Pot for 44 going on 45 years. They say I look younger than my years probably because I was an immature flower child for most of my life… here’s the dilemma after all this time. (and I’m very light weight user, no more than 1=two tokes to be high all day…I have lived my life stoned and now I am regretting everything and it feels like it’s too late. I don’t want it to be too late. in the last year I have taken to eating weed in cookies etc. I have made tincture’s and experimented with Edibles ….now I am really an addict! I’ve let myself down…I must quit this madness…I’ve become a scared of life agoraphobic old lady who who sits stoned starting into space like Meryl Streep in (Oh shit I forgot the title you know that English film where she was stoned all the time and life passed her by…PLENTY” thank god for google!) Anyway I’m glad to find this spot. I think I am fooling myself into thinking I need weed for depression and aching knees etc. when it is throwing my balance out of whack and I’m paranoid of everyone. Weed is best when done ceremoniously and not everyday there is the benefit for those whose mind it opens. I had a narcissistic mother and father they did and number on me and when I left home I fell pray to my Senses…Sex Drugs and Rock and Roll. Now I am a grandma who is a mess!!! I’ve been a Beautiful loser all my life because of drugs and alcohol../kids beware!
Hi there,
I´ve been smoking weed for over 20 years every single day, bake and wake and than smoking all day long. Done everything high in my life and I realize long time ago my dependancy, could’nt quit though. I am trying to quit right now and forcing myself to do not go out and buy again. It is an addiction no doubt about that. I started when I was 16 and at the time I was having problems at home with my stepmother. As soon as I started smoking pot all the fights at home ended, just because I didn’t care anymore about all the problems. I feel like I need some help and all those statements here are somehow great help. Smoking pot was fun, but now I realy believe that I had enough. Good luck for everyone
I have to say first thank goodness I found this site, just to know what I am going through is normal, makes me feel slightly better but still not liking these side effects to quitting.
But there is a consequence for every action good or bad and the actions I took to numb and bury feeling of depression and loneliness needs to stop. Ther are some major life changing events in my life and I have to be prepared for the next chapter in my life, which could prove to be difficult and if I don’t stop now I won’t make it through dark times. By smoking for so long 25 years I have to relearn how to cope with stress and deal with issues at face value
Wish me luck, God bless you all and best wishes with your efforts to stay clean. I have done it many times for years even, and it is time again
It’s super helpful to read everyone’s posts and to see the different ways that dependence and addiction take hold.
I have been a smoker for nearly 25 years, starting at 17. I remember saying when I was younger, “I want to smoke until I’m 80!” I loved it so much. Many years later, I still love it. It feels floaty and warm, like a friend. It’s definitely my most long-standing relationship. Which ultimately is just kind of sad.
I’ve struggled with the desire to quit for many years now. I haven’t had a lot of support for quitting because most of my friends and even therapists haven’t seen it as a problem. I’m extremely functional and usually quite motivated and able to do nearly anything while high. The problem is the mental battle, and the overall sense of dependence on the feeling of being high. It has become clear to me recently how much this impacts my romantic relationships in particular. Weed has a particular energy pattern, and I believe that smoking it attracts certain people and ways of being into my life. I don’t smoke a lot ~ rarely have I smoked more than an eighth in a month. But I smoke regularly. I think about it and can’t wait to have my little hit. I never run out of it. I smoke at inappropriate times sometimes, and then feel guilt about it. Very few people in my life know my struggle with it, and I’m sure most people would be shocked to hear it. I have quit for 2 months in the past and it felt really good, but started dating a smoker after that and my illusion that I could do that without it tempting me was obviously delusional!
Fortunately, even though I feel nervous and not looking forward to the irritable, lonely sensations that come with withdrawal, I am actually feeling excited to experience life with clarity. I think it blocks my strong intuitive abilities, which I am ready to let manifest. I have always been a very sensitive person ~ which is part of the reason for my dependence on pot. It helps me feel a sense of “once removed” from my intense feelings, which can provide perspective in a way, but also blocks my truest expressions.
I am the most nervous about feeling irritable, anxious and lonely. Pot helps all of these in the short term, but I am ready to let go of the short term fix and invest in my long term clarity. My quit date is set for this coming Sunday. I have some hypnotherapy set up to help me out. Wish me luck!!
On Feburary 3 of this year i was really sick with bronchitis and still smoked weed everyday all the time. when it came time to go to sleep i had feelings of shortness of breathe, terror, impending doom etc. so basically i was having an anxiety/panic attack. i had my girlfriend drive me to the ER and as we were going there i had feelings of being close to death, and i was tensing up everywhere like if i was being possesed. my hands would tense up real bad to where my fingers would connect and almost feel like i couldnt move or open my hands at all. the whole time i didnt think it was the weed but as the days went on and i smoked more heavily, i continued to have a hard time breathing. as of right now i am short of breathe and kind of scared but i know now its beacause of how much marijuana i use to smoke. my whole life almost revolved around weed. weed is bad, its not good for you at all!!
I’ve been smoking pot for 2 years, I love it.
Im 25 goin to be 26 cant believe ive wasted the best years on feeling like crap and always being careful about who finds out and when im going to get stoned again. I want a buddy someone to talk to, to get out of this situation
Hay everyone. Just decided to quit smoking the green due to family situations and own personal health and well being. I have been smoking a bong now for close to eight years and it has really changed my life. I have no ambition to go anywhere or due anything except smoke weed. I find myself sittin home all day or coming home after work and gettin high till i fall asleep. I have stopped smoking for to days and did not realize that i would be nausaus and feeling sick anlong with having the shakes. i am glad i found this page as it has made me feel better about myself and see that there are others out there and not just myself. Hard work is rewarded so keep up the good job. Thanks
Well, here goes. I’m on day 1 after I spent the weekend searching for any crumb of pot, including resin. I know I have to quit. Its mostly a financial thing and I know ikt affects my social life as I don’t have one and my moods. As soon as I start coming down, I get ugly if I don’t smoke more. I don’t have easy access and have actually discussed quitting with a good friend and we are going to do it together. I have been without and know the anxiety and the grumpiness. I don’t want any of that, but i know I can’t continue like this. I have a 5 year old and how do I tell her its wrong when I’m doing it myself. If I could only be a part time smoker, it would be great, but if I have it, I smoke it. It was nice reading these and knowing I’m not the only 24-7 stoner, but I need to live as a non-stoner. I’m even using prayer. Good luck all in your adventure–I know I’ll need it.
First, THANKS to each of you who’s posted here; it really helps a lot to read that anxiety is part of the story for so many; I’m definitely one of them.
Yes, there are OTC meds that can help, all at your health food store.
CALM is a calcium magnesium supplement you dissolve in hot water and drink as tea; it really will calm you down.
Traditional Medicinal Nitey-Nite tea is good too, helps a lot.
There are others but I’ve never seen any significant result from other health food store concoctions.
Not good enough? See your doctor, tell them your real story and about your anxiety – they can help very seriously: doctor meds are the ones that really kill you. don’t get strung out on xanax!
please forgive the fake email address on my prior post.
So i had smoked daily since 1991 (only 37 ) first tried in 1988 or 89 .I being a Vancouver Islander had gottin to a point where I could smoke a quarter pound a month by myself no help and yeah the weed out here is not a joke .Two years ago roughly I had a child which led me to cut down but still I was smoking a minimum 5 to 6 joints a day .A week ago ago I woke up and said Im done I still had lots of weed I am not rich but Im ok money wise .I am a mind over matter type so i just quit my expirience so far has been sweats and constipation but I have no issues sleeping and not much else in fact I havent thought of it too much at all .To me the MORE you want to quit the easier it is .It all boils down to desire , its been 7 days now and the sweats are going away what I would suggest is a fibre rich diet so as to remain as regular as possible and stay busy in any way possible .remember this isnt Heroine or Crack and there should be NO reason not to acheive you’re goal !!!!In fact when I quit smoking Cigarettes it was 100 times worse than this .DO IT for you first and spend some f that extra loot on you !!!
To Rebbecca , those goverment funded drugs are a LARGE part of you’re issues .
Hi,
I have been a recreational pot head for over 30 years. probably smoke 1 joint in the course of 1 week to 10 days. Got VERY dependant on the stuff! Work decided to random drug test, that was it for me. It has been 2 weeks today, I went to a hypnotist, cost me 130.00, not sure if it worked but I dont have great urges to smoke. My dreams have always been vivid so no changes there, and NO sweating, not sure what that was all about, but havent felt any of those symptoms. I have had a bit of a headache though, guess that would be my only observation. Before I quite, I was having a hard time recalling words and started stuttering a bit, not sure if it was related or not, but I do feel like Im not having trouble recalling words and feel more “clear headed” for sure! Wish me continued success
Thought I would share my story, as it is helpful to read other users stories it is also cleansing somewhat to share mine. Its been 37 years since my older brother encouraged me to smoke a joint, I was 13 and he 18. I had just learnt how to smoke cigarettes and being coerced to smoke this green stuff was tearing my throat apart coughing every time I inhaled.This was a great source of amusement to him as he watched my eyes glaze over he laughed uncontrollably I laughed so hard I had tears rolling down my cheeks and started feeling very nervous and out of control my mum was due to come home and I went into my room and got into bed where I felt safe and slept it off. After that he continued to encourage me by leaving me the roach after he was done with his joint and I would often find them on my bedside table, this interfered with absorbing information at school and I became disruptive.I progressed through the years trying every other drug available enjoying unlocking doors in my brain and seeing thing differently.I stopped using other drugs 10 years ago but continued to smoke weed for different reasons,relaxation,medicinal etc.I wouldn’t smoke before work only after and grew it myself indoors so my habbit didn’t drain my fianances.The 1st time I tried to give up was 5 years ago,I had a really bad flu and my throat was so raw I couldn’t inhale.I started feeling instantly better in so many ways,prior to this my mood swings were not only aggravating my partner but I was annoyed with myself which made me feel depressed,Im normally a happy person with an outgoing personality but the more I smoke the higher my tolerance gets the more it was inhibiting my personality which was frustrating me.I had a bag in the house when I stopped and I didn’t touch it for 2 months and ended up selling it!I was feeling so strong and on a natural high my partner stopped to.I was a little bored one day and thought I was strong enough to have a smoke on the one off occasion 3 months in,but I was wrong and slowly but surely found myself in the same predicament.It’s 5 years on from that and here I am again going for gold lol!had been experiencing chest pain and other health issues so Im 4 days off smoking and feeling much better with no withdrawal symptoms other than a very active brain and a bit less sleep being peri-menopausal could have something to do with that!I still have a bag in the cupboard but with no inclination to smoke it as my natural high is far out-weighing the depressive weed high.I have been an acheiver in work and sport and still am very fit today,exersize is the key to ridding the body of un-wanted toxins,heres to the power of positive thinking! 2nd time lucky.
Im halfway down the comment list and frankly im a bit sick of it.. you are all so misguided that I feel a bit sorry for you.. especially some of you older folks I can understand if you have a health condition and your worried but some of you are clearly bible thumpers and your not thumping hard enough because weed is a sacrament.. weed is one of the many useful herbs “yielding seed after its kind” created and blessed by God on the third day of creation (Genesis 1:29-31) … So when I hear ‘I will pray for you,’ I am really hearing, I don’t understand gods message to me.. not that I believe anything from the bible frankly its been proven to be a load of horseshit.. (you have to believe in ghosts and other scientifically hard-disproven ideas making you legally insane).
Now that I have taken care of you bible thumpers now its time for all of you idiots talking about withdrawal symptoms.. I am 23 years of age and have been smoking for half of my life.. not saying thats a long time but apparently long enough for me to develop these so called withdrawal symptoms that are so unheard of until I come to this website…
SO I did my own little experiment and proceeded to quit smoking dro (yes I only smoke dro and daily for the past many many years) to test if I develop any of these so called symptoms and to see if its really as hard as you guys are making it out to be..
I thought to myself well if I really actually did want to quit how would I go about it.. for experiments sake I must try to enact the actual scenario where I would be quitting.. I thought to myself and decided I would wait until I was out of bud and then begin at that time (only seems logical not to waste my own money for this experiment and adds realism since I wouldn’t quit til I smoked up the rest.. if that really mattered I wouldn’t be too confident in my ability to quit in the first place). So I did and I also did another thing that I would probably do if I wanted to quit, resin hit all my pieces many times consecutively to give myself one last bad taste to remember (actually a good idea for those of u who are wanting to quit.. gives you a not so pleasant memory of your last chief session). So I resin hit the bowls and got really high… I also smoked down all my kief from my grinder but I didn’t give away my pieces or even store them away because first off I wouldn’t just give away that much glass and if I stored it, it would be just as easy to take it back out again and buy a gram… so I had them readily available but had no real motive to use them for anything..
So I stopped smoking for an entire month with no problems at all.. none of this sweating or aggressive behaviour or insomnia.. frankly I think this website is up to something because all of your comments have similar kinds of misspellings and honestly how can all of you be that bad at spelling…
THESE comments are loads of shit almost as bad as the original article itself… if you quit just go cold turkey and you dont have to sever your relationships with your old smoker friends or act like they are the bad guys for offering it to you.. they are simply being courteous.. your an asshole if you sever friendships cause you cant handle your WANT for the greeneery… notice I didn’t say addiction… I said WANT. There’s a big difference.. I say want because I suffered no physical or mental withdrawal symptoms… or if I did it was negligible and your all a bunch of overreacting pussies.. especially the dude who said hes quit for 1 day and he alrdy cant sleep… what the fuck is that? Dude even when u smoked I bet u had a few times where u quit for one day cuz u didnt have weed that day.. so did u sleep then? if not then why are you surprised now? nothing about you guys comments make any sense at all.. and yes those of you who were talking about smoking cigarettes in concurrence with the weed and then quit both… HOW CAN YOU TALK ABOUT WEED WITHDRAWAL SYMPTOMS… YOU DO KNOW THAT QUITTING CIGARETTES ACTUALLY HAS THOSE KIND OF SYMPTOMS RIGHT??? Cigarettes are way worse for you… all of u need to man up and just quit acting like ur such victims… and all this coming from a 23 year old… so quit acting like pussies seriously… and I hear all of u talking about joints… what the fuck oldtymers gtfo and smoke a dro blunt i bet u guys are quitting popcorn or reggie thats why u feel like shit from the cumulative-shit-weed-hangover that has stacked upon itself 99999 times and finally your off that bad shit… heres an idea for all of u guys.. you SHOULD quit smoking that weed… and PICK UP SOME FUCKING GOOD.
I’m a 29 year old academic and I’ve been smoking daily for almost 7 years now. I’ve smoked in almost every conceivable circumstance, at every chance I got, and with almost everyone I know.
Like many of you, I really didn’t think it was a bad thing, in fact, I thought it was great. I quit smoking cigs for the green and it seemed like a great way to start, pick-up, and end the day. I would usually smoke before classes, tests, work. It didn’t seem to interfere with my performance. It enhanced my enjoyment of things I loved like reading, playing/listening to music, and being immersed in a great movie. I loved the taste (I smoked Lebanese hash), and I even found the mere act of rolling a j relaxing. I always told myself I would quit if ever I came to feel otherwise. That time has now come…
I feel that smoking makes me less aware, and thus less alive. I feel that smoking has wrecked my memory, the pillar of all knowing. I feel that smoking defiles my bodily temple, thus making me less fit for truth. I feel that smoking renders me less capable of meeting life’s demands. And I feel that smoking has cost me 7 years worth of dreams.
And so, without further ado, I’m quitting.
Its been 5 days, and I’m doing reasonable well, aside from the agitated mind and wavering will. I’ve stopped smoking for 2-4 week periods in the past, but these have all been of an exceptional nature: camping trips, ashram visits, inability to get stuff, etc. What frustrates me is how underwhelming and easy it is to stop: my mind says ‘If its this easy not to smoke then why make such a big deal of it? Smoke one, and we’ll quit later.’ Bullshit I now know.
I’ve also ‘quit’ once before; but I got sucked back in. It was around 3 or 4 months ago. I managed to go for a little over a week till I stopped by a friend’s place…the joint was between my lips in less than 10 minutes.
So here’s to freedom. Best of luck to you all.
I’ve been a heavy daily smoker for 38 years, and had to give it up recently because I’m layed-off from work and need to pass a drug test for a job. I’m on day 11 and every day is worst then the one before. I not sleeping at all at night, even with the help of over-the-counter sleep aids. I can’t wrap my head around anything, no interest whats-so-ever. I’ve stopped working out. I have no energy. Simply put, everything sucks. I just want to know when it will get easier.

Thank you all for your posts. They have helped me a lot. So I have been smoking weed pretty much daily since I was about 17. Until recently I have never felt inhibited by it I actually just graduated with my masters. All of a sudden I realized that pot had slowly taken over my life. My social life or lack thereof has dissipated over the last couple of years. I have no sex life to speak of and no romantic connections. I found myself content being alone as long as I had pot. It is my desire for more in life and to enjoy things I once was able to without pot that has me wanting to quit. I found this website because I can’t sleep but I find solace that it will soon pass. Good luck.
I just dont what to say…. this time around with smoking pot it has been 5 years solid. Ending up being 10 cones a day and absolutely zoning out. Unable to maintain concentration, conversations, work processes without getting lost in my head.
I am on the tail end of day 3 and im going OK. Just that Ok. I have been trying to keep myself busy doing those tasks I was procrastinating about. That has helped my frame of mind enormously. I take no other meds – but in saying that I have been my own prescriber of meds with my pot smoking. My own little blindfold from the world and I am now realising just how I have been tricking myself into justifying my habit. I have given it the flick (albeit temporarily) before and I hope to maintain it this time. I have quit ciggies for 2 years now and hope that I can apply the same will to this task. I havent had sweats or nightmares yet but I suppose if they do occur, then I know that my body is trying to sort itself out. I will do some excercise tomrrow as I already have energy (mental) to burn and best to get some endorphins going. One thing, that I have noticed is my caffeine intake has decreased (not being stoned does help with that) I was drinking a coffee in response to be stoned as my pep up. I know I need to keep that in mind, so that I dont get the coffee out before bed as it affects me now in a way that it didnt before.
I have to say this though… I consider myself reasonably intelligent and able to handle high pressure situations. I take my job seriously and this has been in danger (in my mind only) this has started to scare me. My short term memory is not great and retention of anything is pretty bad. I flare to anger easily and can jump to massive conclusions.
Before smoking pot, I was fairly easy going and pretty chirpy. This has slowly dissipated much to my close friends horror. (and my own) I guess, like every other post that I have read, is that exactly like not smoking ciggies day one sucks but day 3 is better. So…tomorrow is day 4 and we will see how we go!!
i am 51 years 0ld i have been smoking pot since i was 15. i have heard all of this time that pot is okay. its not like crack or heroin. i have stopped many time for many different reasons. until a few years ago i thought i had it under control. after not having any reason to stop for many months and really doing more than i used to i tried to stop again. this time their was the insomnia, night sweats, no appetite, not caring what was going on around me, and being upset about any little thing that happens around me. i am sure that using pot to stop smoking cigs. is what changed things. now i would like to stop for good. but the thought of going to someone and saying i am hooked on pot is embarrasing and taking some kind of anti -deppresion drug to help would be counter-productive. so i will just have to bear it and quit. wish me luck
i’ve been smoking since i was 12 i’m in my 30″s now and, have to quit for a a couple of months not by choice. it’s really hard everytime i do this. it sucks! i become very angry and frustrated, can’t sleep at night and i get really hungry out of nowhere. i yell and snap at loved ones and it hurts me inside.
and as soon as i start smoking again i’m fine. i’m happy, patient, focused, down to earth. it’s like i need it to stay sane. if that makes sense. anyone else out there experience any of these symptoms?
I too have these same exact symptoms when I try to quit.
Weed causes me to be poor.I work at wendys cuase I dont want to deal with drug test.then the weed cost takes half my money.I dont have motivation to work harder because of weed.
I think for me im going to try cruising around in my car when I have urges I love to cruse and it will keep my mind busy thats my plan for the first few real bad days.
Im 40 but only been addicted to weed for 12 years.before that I had to get drunk everyday.Now I dont like drinken at all.
I hope all of you are able to quit and myself .Its easy for me to say now with 2 bowls left.goodluck all.
well it has been about a week now and i am just getting over the what i think is the worst part that is being pissed at everything many times i just had to sit in my truck after work and come down from working myself into a rage just so i wouldnt attack my teenage boys for what ever reason
this isnt my first time quitting smoking but i needed to for a new job comming up in my life my realattionship with weed is very intatmite as you can get i have jesus in my life and prayer works very well if i can just remember to do it before i snap so good luck to ya all out there and keep praying
