Smoke it just one time and your hooked :) I have used heroin for 20 years now and i can honestly say that after being a on and off pot smoker for 16 years that the withdrawl symptoms from weed are way worse.

My sleeping was okay and I was physically exhausted.2 days before our holiday, and 2 weeks into quitting, we found out we were both likely to lose our jobs due to our employee going into receivership. We stand to lose $160k a year in combined income after bleeding for this company.The stress from this uncertainty started to make it difficult for me to sleep. My partner has never smoked with me in 5 years. We arrived overseas in a warm tropical climate which helped me swet out the crap and I worked out in the resort gym every day for over 2 weeks.The cravings were none existent, however we had a tsunami evacuation and I suffered my first panic attack. I became terrified I was going to die. We had a few thunderstorms during the trip and I became too frightened to walk outside, petrified I was going to get struck by lightening.I started falling asleep later and later and getting more adjitated, waking up tired and irritable. Once again, I had no craving to smoke as I promised myself to quit and get healthy as I am about to get married.Apon arriving home I suffered a massive panic attack when getting off the plane. I was rushed to hospital with what I thought was a heart attack. Dizzyness, chest pains, pins and needles in my left arm e.t.c. This was 3 weeks ago. I was cleared of all major heart concerns.In the last 3 weeks I have had terrible insomnia, pain in my joints, sensitivity to light, headaches and night terrors. I was lucky to sleep 2 ours a night making it impossible to go back to work. Once I would fall asleep I would dream of all the things I was dealing with 13 years ago just before I started smoking pot. I am happily engaged and my lady is a superstar.I am feeling depressed, tired and reclusive. If I drive my car, my eyes start to hurt and feel really heavy. My dreams are like LSD flashbacks. I am irritable and snappy. I was prescribed sleeping pills which I took for a week and they had little impact on me sleeping. I am trying to avoid codine for my tension headaches and light sensitivity as the entire point of quitting pot is to rid myself of dependency.It's 2 am and I am wide awake, though my eyes are heavy. The last 3 nights I have had between 5-6 hours sleep which is great, but it's all been interrupted with me waking from dreams. During this last 2 weeks I have also quit caffeine due to the insomnia which I assume must play some part in the headaches and irritability.Anyone who claims there are no withdrawals from pot is either extremely lucky, ignorant or smoked natural bush weed in small doses. I have no cravings to smoke again as I have never been a heavy tobacco smoker. It's only the sleep I crave which makes me even contemplate calling a mate to pick up a joint. But my will power is stronger this time. I have a family history of heart disease so I need to stop inhaling smoke into my lungs and increasing my heart rate.I wish all of you who have made the decision to quit the best of luck in getting through this tough time. It's obvious to me that if you resort to smoking to suppress something that as soon as you quit, even decades later, the issue with jump back at you. I will let everyone know my progress over the next few months. I have lost about 6-7 kgs in the past 6 weeks.If I didn't have then support of my wonderful partner, I don't know how I would have been able to face these moods swings and especially the insomnia and anxiety. Muso’s and smoked pot.

I quit smoking just over 6 weeks ago.

The first 2 weeks wasn’t overly difficult as my fiancé and I were just about to head on an overseas holiday and we were excited after 12 months of almost 7 day a week work. My sleeping was okay and I was physically exhausted.

2 days before our holiday, and 2 weeks into quitting, we found out we were both likely to lose our jobs due to our employee going into receivership. We stand to lose $160k a year in combined income after bleeding for this company.

It’s 2 am and I am wide awake, though my eyes are heavy. The last 3 nights I have had between 5-6 hours sleep which is great, but it’s all been interrupted with me waking from dreams.

I started smoking a joint or 2 a night when I was 23. I have continued to smoke almost every night for the past 13 years. I typically smoke between a quarter of a gram to a gram per night. I never smoke during the day as I have held full time professional work all my life. I typically smoke from Friday night, through to late Sunday evening each weekend. During this time I have stopped smoking for a few months at a time, the longest duration being 9 months in 2008.I never smoked bongs, but I have always smoked super strong hydro. Considering I am just over 6 foot and I am 100kgs, I consider myself a light weight as I get stoned very easily. Some nights I would only smoke half a small joint and that would be enough to get the edge off a stressful day.prior to starting smoking at 23 I was very anti pot smoking. I have always had trouble sleeping as my 3 year old sister died of cancer when I was 8 years old. This triggered intense vivid dreaming. I was a reasonably well balanced teen and young adult, doing well at school, sport, music and was very social.Just before I turned 23 my grand mother died and we were very close. I then broke up with my first love after being together 4 years. Over night I went from a punk rock loving kid, to playing Elliot smith wallowing in self pity and depression. I cut ties with basically all my mates who weren't muso I am 36 and from Melbourne Australia. I started smoking a joint or 2 a night when I was 23.

Thanks for your advice, I know your only trying to help. Right now, and as of lately since I last replied to you I have been able to think clearly again like I was able to before all of this started happening. I can assure you that, from my knowledge, I had no former psychological disorder or anything of the sort. I am feeling way better than before and am returning to my old self. I am not thinking, and haven't thought of hurting anyone. Especially not my family. I'm starting to get a grip on things and am starting to be as happy as I was before I stopped smoking some Mary-Jane I agree with you that weed can indeed help many people, but remember, not everyone is the same. I have to clarify that on the first night that this happened, I was so scared I didn't know what to think. Obviously I was out of sync with what was really going on. If I ever feel like I did before, and I know there is nothing behind it, I will do whatever it takes to keep myself, my family, and anyone else safe. God bless you all and be strong, the way you feel right now will not last long, I promise. Some advice my friend told me was, if your gonna quit, don't just stop completely out of nowhere like I did. It's like when you run a mile. Your not suppose to stop moving completely after your done running, or else your gonna feel the brunt of what you did 10x worse, and might suffer some nasty side effects. Your suppose to walk a lap or so until you catch your breath, and that way you won't feel as bad.If your gonna quit smoking, and have been smoking very potent weeds, hash, hash oil, and eating strong edibles like what I was doing over here in california, just lower your dosage. Don't stop completely, just smoke less and less and less until you stop. I want to think I'm already out of the woods and am ready to leave this behind me. Good luck all. You can do it. John,

CANNABIS was not the "trigger" for your hostility... NOR was its discontinuation of use...There is great news for you with regards for your treatment which has been provided in many clinical studies, as CANNABIS HAS been proven EXTREMELY effective as a mood stabilizer and IS SUBSTANTIALLY far more effective than 90% of the ssri's and ALSO 100% SAFER than ANY pharmaceuticals out on the market today...IN FACT... IT IS EVEN SAFER THAN ALL OTHER OVER THE COUNTER MEDICATION AS WELL... SUCH AS ASPIRIN, IBUPROFEN, ETC...So if you do see a psychologist you need to let them know that CANNABIS has helped you with your condition and that you can save your organs and more importantly your brain from HARMFUL drugs like prozac, xanax, abilify, etc... WHICH ARE HARMFUL FOR YOU AS OPPOSED TO THE SAFE AND RELIABLY EFFECTIVE CANNABIS...Thank you for your response, as I do hope, that you do go and get BOTH cannabis and counseling, and very importantly BOTH IN combination...And lastly, I also hope that you do go with the knowledge that CANNABIS IS THE ONLY NATURAL, SAFE, AND EFFECTIVE substance that can provide you with the medicinal help you need...So that way, you can start to live your life in happy, healthy manner, both physically and mentally...Sincerely,John Dear Eric,

Honestly, you might be right. I haven't had a perfect childhood per say, and maybe I could be suffering from some underlying psychological disorder. But, before anyone of this happened, I was a regular person. Never in my mind had the thoughts of hurting people crossed my mind until now. In fact, I always tried to be as helpful as I could. Until recently I have started to get a grip of things and am starting to return to normal. If you really think that all the problems and complications that people are posting here about marijuana withdrawal are BS, then I believe there might be something wrong with you aswell. Just like you, before I knew what it was, I was convincing myself I was indeed going "crazy" and was seriously considering talking to a psychiatrist. I'm on day 5 that the initial symptoms kicked in and am feeling majorly better. I told myself that if in a week I totally still don't feel better, I WILL talk to a counselor/psychiatrist because the last thing I want to do is hurt anyone, or even think about hurting anyone.....

And yeah your right, this shit is pretty tough. Day 5 though, and I am still feeling a little bit better day by day. And its funny how you said stop for a couple of weeks and then smoke a bit because that was my initial plan. At this point, I'm not so sure if I'm going to stick with that plan anymore though. I think my biggest fear right now is that I'm not going to fully recover, but I can't keep thinking like that. I wish you luck too pal. Thanks again.

It shook me so bad that I thought I was going crazy.. At the time I still didn't know that it was most likely the withdrawal symptoms kicking in. It was until the day after that I asked one of my friends about "anxiety" that she told me about Marijuana withdrawals. At first it hadn't crossed my mind because I thought that weed was just an innocent herb, in fact, maybe even a blessing from God. I didn't consider myself a heavy smoker until I realized that I actually was smoking a lot.. Like taking hash oil bong rips, taking "snappers" of very potent weed mixed pure hash, and eating very potent edibles as well. I never considered myself addicted though for just last Friday I decided I was going to take a little break. Anyways, like I stated at first, on the third day of not smoking, I went to gym and worked out very vigorously (This was before the initial symptoms began), and that night was when it all started.. I haven't smoked in about a week, yet I have no cravings. I think the thing that bothered me the most were those messed up thoughts I had. I never once thought about seriously hurting my family until then. I just wanted to know if those screwed up thoughts could of in fact been the marijuana withdrawal symptoms. I also have had the other symptoms like not being able to sleep, eat, think clearly, paranoia, etc. I really hope it isn't just me having those thoughts about hurting my own family... I just want to know if it might be related with the withdrawal..... the funny thing is I haven't really craved smoking though. Someone please reply. I want to clear my head of all of this non-sense :( On the first night that the withdrawal symptoms showed up, I had horrible thoughts in my head about hurting my own family (ex. stabbing them.)

I didn’t consider myself a heavy smoker until I realized that I actually was smoking a lot.. Like taking hash oil bong rips, taking “snappers” of very potent weed mixed pure hash, and eating very potent edibles as well. I never considered myself addicted though for just last Friday I decided I was going to take a little break. Anyways, like I stated at first, on the third day of not smoking, I went to gym and worked out very vigorously (This was before the initial symptoms began), and that night was when it all started.. I haven’t smoked in about a week, yet I have no cravings. I think the thing that bothered me the most were those messed up thoughts I had. I never once thought about seriously hurting my family until then. I just wanted to know if those screwed up thoughts could of in fact been the marijuana withdrawal symptoms. I also have had the other symptoms like not being able to sleep, eat, think clearly, paranoia, etc. I really hope it isn’t just me having those thoughts about hurting my own family… I just want to know if it might be related with the withdrawal….. the funny thing is I haven’t really craved smoking though. Someone please reply. I want to clear my head of all of this non-sense :(

The key is finding a hobby to take your mind off it. Switch up your routine and fill spaces where you would usually smoke with other things.Think about holidays you've had when you didn't smoke - you didn't have wd symptoms then.And for the depression and feeling sh*t - if you think you feel sh*t, or as though you're gonna have a sh*t day then you almost certainly will.Can be mind over matter i believe, so you've got to be extremely strong mentally and try stay positive. Don't let weed win - "it's a little b*itch and it can't have that affect on my normal sober life"As for the sweaty palms, you're not gonna stop that...Good luck all I definitely agree with this comment.

You gave me the suggestion to research, which I have btw... ;)Now... I also give the suggestion that you ALSO research both the legal system and the law of the land... aka common law... and the difference between them...SINCERELY,JOHN Dear Mr. Hanson,

I have researched, MULTIPLE sources, ESPECIALLY ACTUAL LABORATORY FIELD WORK… and MY RESEARCH DOES NOT COME FROM…(facetiously put)>>> internet “sources” like “stoner.com” etc… ;)

A lot of the stuff you find on the “internet” WHETHER again jokingly put>>> “HERBIE.COM” OR IN ALL SERIOUSNESS LIKE GOVERNMENT FUNDED RESEARCH ON .GOV SITES…

THEY ARE BOTH “fluffed” up for… YES BOTH SIDES OF THE ARGUMENT…

When I had mentioned any “numbers” such as million or billion… it was in “astute” satire… because I was so astonished to hear people give such outlandishly “severe” ESPECIALLY PHYSIOLOGICAL symptoms…

PSYCHOLOGICAL yes, PEOPLE NOT cannabis can DISPLAY and CAUSE those “symptoms”… ESPECIALLY WITH REGARDS TO ANXIETY, STRESS, ultimately leading to other issues such as depression, hostility, “insomnia” and “night terrors” etc…

I sincerely suggest you go and PERFORM some REAL “SCIENTIFIC” laboratory work yourself, since you stated that you are a “scientific journalist”…

YES… CANNABIS USE AND “CESSATION” OF USE… DOES HAVE A DIRECT PHYSICAL EFFECT ON THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM…

THE VAST MAJORITY HAVE CONSTIPATION… ALTHOUGH SOME DO DISPLAY DIARRHEA…

THIS IS DUE TO HOW THE THE OTHER MULTITUDE OF CANNABINOIDS ACT UPON THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM AND GREATLY REDUCE INFLAMMATION ALSO BY DIGESTIVE MUSCLE RELAXATION… WHICH IS EITHER OCCURS SIMPLY THROUGH THE INHALATION OF HARMLESS CHEMICALS FROM “SMOKE” OR THROUGH THE HARMLESS CHEMICALS INGESTED THROUGH ORAL CONSUMPTION…

HOWEVER, THAT LAXATIVE “EFFECT” IS MOSTLY CANCELED OUT “DURING USE”… AS CANNABIS GIVES THE BODY A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF DEHYDRATION…

IM SURE YOU HAVE HEARD OF THE COLLOQUIALLY SO NAMED “COTTONMOUTH”…

THE CESSATION OF CANNABIS USE… AFFECTS THE DIGESTIVE MUSCLE TISSUE FROM THE LOSS OF THE CHEMICALS THAT INDUCED THE MUSCLE RELAXATION… AND THUS… IN LAYMAN’S TERMS… WHAT WAS ONCE “RELAXED”… IS NOW “SEEMINGLY CRAMPED”…

THE PHYSICAL SYMPTOM OF “withdrawal” from CANNABIS in which the PHYSIOLOGICAL STANDPOINT… IS ACTUALLY… “FATIGUE” MORE SPECIFICALLY DIRECTLY ATTRIBUTED TO SOMNOLENCE or more commonly called “drowsiness”…

THESE “REPORTS” OF HAVING INSOMNIA WAS NOT DUE TO THE PHYSICAL NATURE OF THE REDUCTION IN CANNABINOIDS IN THE BODY… IT IS DUE TO THEIR PSYCHOLOGICAL PRE-EXISTING AND UNDERLINING ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS AND OR MENTAL CONDITIONS, SUCH AS STRESS, ANXIETY ETC…

AND AGAIN IN LAYMAN’S TERMS… BEING TIRED… DOES NOT LEAD TO “STAYING AWAKE”…

IT LEADS TO SLEEP… ;)

TO FURTHER EXPLAIN SIMPLISTICALLY… THE “DROWSINESS” BY THE CESSATION OF CANNABIS… IS CAUSED AS A DIRECT RESULT OF THE SUDDEN DROP IN THE EXITED SYNAPTIC ACTIVITY THAT CANNABINOIDS HAVE ON BRAIN CHEMISTRY… PERIOD

WHAT HAS HAPPENED HERE is you have UNFORTUNATELY had a VAST majority and sampling of an array of NEUROTICALLY PSYCHOLOGICALLY INDUCED SYMPTOMS THAT ARE “EXAGGERATED” DUE TO THEIR UNDERLYING MENTAL CONDITIONS… (THAT CANNABIS DID NOT CAUSE… IT WAS THEIR PSYCHOLOGICAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS THAT WERE THE CAUSE…BTW)

AND IN ADDITION TO THAT IF NOT MOST IMPORTANTLY THE “RESULTS” OF THOSE STUDIES… A VAST MAJORITY OF YOUR “SOURCES” “ARE” government funded research…

TRUST ME I KNOW WHERE YOUR “DATA” is coming from… ;)

ARE you aware of the HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of people that are FORCED TO EITHER SPEND TIME IN JAIL, OR GO TO “REHAB” AND ARE THE NUMBER ONE SOURCE OF THAT “DATA” ???

WHY ELSE DO YOU THINK THAT THEY HAD NO PROBLEM FINDING THOUSANDS OF PEOPLES’ SO CALLED “TESTIMONIES”…

All of the so called “data” collected from “those” government funded sources… come from psychiatric centers and “drug abuse centers” in which those poor people who were given that ridiculous ultimatum…

And thus had to falsely “admit” that they had an addiction and or some “form” of drug “problem” to avoid being thrown in jail…

AND ALSO… the data had been “fluffed” in order to “lump” in the so called “harmfulness” of NOT ONLY THE USE, BUT DISCONTINUATION OF USE IN THE FORM OF “WITHDRAWALS” SEEING AS CANNABIS IS BELOW COFFEE ON THE “SCALE”… THEY NEED TO TRY AND FLUFF UP OTHER ASPECTS OF THE PLANT IN ORDER TO MAKE IT SEEM “MORE HARMFUL” AND “CLOSER” TO THE OTHER DRUGS LIKE HEROIN WHICH IS HARMFUL ETC…

BECAUSE SINCE THEY CANT FIND SOMETHING “SIMILARLY HARMFUL” ABOUT IT’S USE IN COMPARISON TO OTHER “HARD” DRUGS WHICH THEY ALWAYS WILL LUMP IN TOGETHER, THEY WILL TRY TO “AFFIX” ANYTHING THEY CAN TO IT IN ORDER AND IN ATTEMPTS TO “DAMAGE” CANNABIS’ REPUTATION AS A VIABLE AND SAFE SUBSTANCE…

Please if you respect your “profession” and or just humanity in general…

Then, please provide at the very least an EQUAL amount of DERIVED FROM BOTH INDEPENDENT STUDIES THAT WEREN’T “LEGISLATIVELY BIASED”… ;)

And like mentioned in my last comment… NO ONE SHOULD BE TRYING to “legalize” ANYTHING…

DO YOU OR DOES ANYBODY WANT THE OWNERSHIP OF THAT WONDERFUL PLANT TO BECOME THE GOVERNMENT’S “COMMERCIAL PROPERTY” ???

THEN BY ALL MEANS GO AHEAD… GET IT LEGALIZED AND GIVE YOUR CONSENT AND YOUR NATURAL RIGHTS TO FREELY CONSUME IT OVER TO THE GOVT…

AND THEN, YOU ALL CAN ENJOY IT NO LONGER BEING A FREE PRODUCT…

OR SHOULD I SAY IN REAL TERMS 20% of THE ALREADY 10 BILLION DOLLARS IN TAX REVENUE THATS 2 BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR THEY ALREADY MAKE FROM ALL YOUR TAXES PER PRISONER CAPITA for “housing” or holding these innocent “cannabis users” hostage is what it really is…

AND WE ALL SHOULD KNOW THAT WOULD BE BAD FOR THEIR “BUSINESS”…

So by keeping it illegal on the federal level, not only do they get the tax revenue from its “legal medical use” in the billions…

THEY ALSO GET BILLIONS FOR LOCKING PEOPLE UP AS WELL…

SO YOU YOU SEE… THE MEGALOMANIACAL SYSTEM THAT HAS BEEN PUT IN PLACE BY GREEDY PEOPLE, GET TO HAVE THEIR CAKE AND EAT IT TOO…

The govt isnt some scary giant “entity” out to get you, it is the PEOPLE who keep filling in, generation after generation who will always want control and power over others, and if people allow it to happen, it will continue…

ITS YOUR CHOICE PEOPLE…

(To Mr. Hanson)… You gave me the suggestion to research, which I have btw… ;)

Now… I also give the suggestion that you ALSO research both the legal system and the law of the land… aka common law… and the difference between them…

SINCERELY,
