there's definitely a withdrawal if you've been a heavy toker for a while. i used to smoke high-grade medical all day everyday. even with tolerance, one hit was enough to get baked and cough up a lung, but i'd take in as much as i could handle, every day, hourly, for 2 1/2 years.. there was actually never a moment when i wasn't high (unless i was asleep). never a time i didn't have weed. i lit up in the car, in public, hotels, bathrooms, anywhere, everywhere... i couldn't hide that thick smoke, but who cares
i went through 1/8th-1/4th oz of medical mj every 3-5 days. if i had to stretch my supply more than 5 days, i started to get anxious & restless. even tho i was still high, i wasn't high enough to feel totally at ease
then i couldn't afford it for a month. that month was ridiculous. i couldn't socialize, feel good about anything, enjoy food, sex, sleep for days, or drive without feeling edgy. being baked made (makes) everything easier for me.. now i just felt like shit all day
it took 3 weeks to feel kind of baseline again. before that, i'd get these weird residual highs throughout the day.. like i was high just thinking about being high. i could taste and smell weed that wasn't there, and my mind would go blank for a minute
i'd take weed withdrawal over all the other withdrawals i've gone through - booze, benzos, z drugs, SSRIs, clonidine, crack, meth/amps, mdma, tramadol, morphine, anti-psychotics, etc.. but i don't have even close to 35 years of mj use behind me (yet). i can only imagine how crazy it'd be to
not be high all the sudden after that long
now i haven't smoked in almost 4 months. fuck, i miss LA
good luck dude. you'll make it
