Physical dependence on cannabis

[hx_]

That's what fucking with synthetic shit will do to you ^...thankyour lucky stars you didn't try N give up methadone or subuxone.

Yep, quite glad I experienced the horrors of substance dependance with something "mild" like cannabinoids. Didn't feel mild at the time tho! Wouldn't wish that on anyone.

How is it idiotic in any way?

I had over 25g around but needed to stop as it was giving me serious mental issues that were getting worse by the day. Also if you rely on it to come off, its much more likely that you'll start up again, its not something like opiates or benzos where it can be fatal going cold turkey - I just felt like UTTER shit for 7 days and then was fine. Also I could only eat with the help of weed. Now that I'm completely off it I feel constantly hungry and (the best thing) sane!

They were horrific tbh, multiple days of insomnia, puking up almost everything I ate/drank (including water!), days of cold sweats enough to put sweat patches on the back and chest of my tshirt, panic attacks and de-realistion along with a feeling over all of my skin of numb dirtyness and static oilyness. Add to that a prickly headache that didn't seem to go away and chronic diarrhoea, I just wanted the withdrawals to be finished as soon as possible, taking more of the drug would just have extended them whilst providing light relief for less than 20 mins!

Also the couple of times I did indulge, the symptoms came back worse and it was so tempting just to restart my 24/7 habit. Thankfully I got through it and now indulge no more than twice a week, and not before bed!

well its not really idiotic per se, but with some self control and a strong will to quit you couldve had a much easier time by letting yourself of easy... btw opioid withdrawals arent really fatal from what i know. gaba agonists are usually pretty nasty to withdraw, benzo, barb and booze withdrawals have taken a lot of lives...

I didn't see any point in letting myself off easy really, would just be more encouraging to get into that state again. Plus I wanted to feel normal again as quickly as possible, extending it was the last thing I wanted to do.

Also, smoking it only got rid of the "IM GOING CRAZY" psychological effect, but the physical side remained and increased in intensity 20 mins later if I had a decent dose, small doses instantly made it worse! By decent dose, at the time that would have been 25mg+, now 1-2mg gets me insanely high.
