I believe that cannabinoids themselves are to be considered antioxidants (as patented by the USA as the Department of Health and Human Services), neuroprotectants, antiproliferatives, antispasmatics, antibacterials, antiemetics... the list goes on.

I have nothing, absolutely nothing against the recreational use of cannabis.

For years I had used cannabis as an adjunct to medicinal therapy. I discontinued my daily dose of 100mg bupropion, 15mg buspirone, 7.5mg meloxicam, and 150mg tramadol when I first learned the medical benefits of cannabinoid therapy back in 2010. For over two years the experiment was a success. I maintained jobs, I attended two semesters of Culinary school, and I had some of the most intense and appreciated psychedelic experiences that I will cherish for all my life. Ironically I also lost over seventy pounds over these few years. I had become inspired to eat with nutrition and long term health in mind, and my diet consists mostly of organic foods with high nutritional value. I once ate out of habit. Now I learn out of habit, and eating is fuel. /sidetracking

Because I had discontinued my use eight days ago from today, the beginning two nights were spent awake until 7am huffing nitrous. When I ran out of N2O I ate 250mg tramadol and posted a report on its effects here on the board. Two nights ago I ate 20mg cyclobenzaprine hoping for some aid in sleep. Nothing. Another 7am night. Last night I received a prescription for clonazepam ( as I have reported.)

Tonight I pick apart my carpet with a flashlight and tweezers looking for weed. I manage to pull enough weed in the course of say 120 minutes to smoke four snaps that I made last up until an hour ago. I devised a contraption (a ghetto plastic vegetable steamer, if you will) to loosen the resin off my glass. I have been scraping and smoking for the past hour.

Something is wrong with me. Why do I need weed so bad, someone please help me and share any similar experiences.
 
I've been the same way picking weed off the floor, if i go all day without it i start sweating, my feet get cold as ice and i cant sleep.The clonazepam should help with all of this, i quit once and was prescribed 15mg oxazepam 2x day.One time i put my bong in a bag and smashed it to get the resin inside that was my lowest point, if you can find 99% isopropyl alcohol you can clean your glass and boil off the alcohol in a pyrex dish (DO NOT USE OPEN FLAME, ALSO MAKE SURE THERES LOTS OF VENTILATION, USE A FAN) and have some oil.

I do this with saved stems. The yield is much more favorable.
I picked the calyxes off all my saved stems three nights ago so QWISO out of those buggers is gonna be some dark, dark, chlorophyll ridden shit.

I'm gonna be happy I still have some viable resin to last me through tomorrow.
 
Yeah im also out right now and ive already smoked every spec of resin. I usually use codeine (otc here) it keeps me from sweating and being irritable.

Took 1mg clonazepam at 9pm tonight sublingual, 0.5mg just now intranasally (no crap for pill snorting, mods, i never do it and I'm in a rough patch in my life). Just feel... empty. :(
I'm going to smoke more resin.

Believe me I know the pharmacokinetics, when I say rough patch in my life i mean I have no coke and this fancy new klonopin script is the only thing even remotely worthy of being snorted (vs the cyclobenzaprine I also have laying around).
I chewed up another milligram with some herbal tea and watched porn. Now I feel in a happy place.

Meanwhile I am periodically going to my closet to smoke resin! I have a compelling urge to use the cannabis! I never once viewed this as a bad thing, but the more I lead myself to believe it could be an issue, the more I am beginning to believe it to require concern! Whyyyyy oh why is the pain this bad

EDIT: It's 4:30AM Eastern, I have eaten (clonazepam) .5mg at 2pm, 1mg sublingually around 12AM, .5mg nasally at 2:30, and another 1mg at 4AM. Damn. These things grab hold of you quick. I didn't want to exceed 2mg today. I should have went to bed.

Pot helped me with these things while remaining organic and non habit forming (while I was on it, that's how it seemed anyway).
Cannabinoids are very interesting molecules.
 
Weed definitely has minor withdrawals. Once you've kicked opiates it seems a lot less intense though. It has many of the same symptoms:

Excessive Sweating/chills/temperature sensitivity
Agitation/frustration
Insomnia
Anxiety/depression
Nausea
Body pain (rare unless you're chronic pain like me)

However this is from extreme use e.g. For 5+ years smoking all day every day. The worst it gets is nagging in the back of your mind, annoyance. Whereas opiate withdrawals take over your entire sense of being and leave you crying for mommy on the floor like a 2 year old
 
yeah night sweats are the only thing that happens to me. I remember when i used to end up with no cannabis when i was a heavy smoker and id feel so sick for a few days and couldnt get sleep. But a few years later i quit because i dont like the effects anymore and i dont get the sweats, can eat fine and no insomnia (or more than usual) and no cravings. I think state of mind plays a bigger role than people think.
 
Then I wouldn't be surprised if it took you two weeks to feel better. But once those two weeks are passed you should be out of the water.
 
I once turned my computer keyboard upside down and shaked it over a paper because I was sure I had spilled some weed in there at some point. You wouldn't believe what kind of shit was in there and what I actually ended up smoking that night. I've scraped plastic grinders with knives ending up with scraped plastic and very minimal amounts of something psychoactive, feeling like I was poisoning myself with the smoke. Those plastic volcano bags? Who knows how much of that shit I have in my lungs. I get a bit desperate and self-destructive at times when the insomnia gets the better of me.

I guess I'm a self-medicater though, the shit I've gotten from shrinks never did any good to me, smoking constantly keeps me sane.
 
I get irratible as fuck if i go even a day with out my green. It is sad to admit at times, because When I do run out I often find myself extremely distracted with the idea of not having weed and that stupid search for weed crumbs we have all been on. Or the hour or two i might spend scraping my bowl for a buzz. But that is the price i pay as a heavy user.
 
god damn u guys sound like crack heads lol if you're a responsible adult you should never run out. People who buy a gram at a time or even a 1/4 at a time are retarded. Stock up on that shit and you won't have these issues, keep it in the freezer and it'll be as good as new when u get to it.
 
And who the fuck said anything about buying grams. Besides, even when I stock up you never know when your city might go dry when you live in a non medical state.

Us over on the east coast are not so lucky.
 
i really can't believe that cannabis ever goes dry anywhere in NA. I've never hit a dry patch anywhere i lived, small town, big town, tiny community, there's always more weed than can be smoked. I'm on the east coast of Canada and if that's the case here and you have dry times in the US then you probably just need to find more connections. Not trying to be offensive or anything, it's just so easy not to run out i don't see why people have to scrape up crumbs of dirt and lint and smoke that to get high when you could have just stocked up before. Fuck just buy a lb at a time, when it hits 1/4 lb buy another one. Anyone who works a minimum wage job should be able to afford that.

Not everyone has cash to buy zips/blocks just sitting around

Freezing bud is very stupid IME unless you're doing an extraction or maybe cooking.

Also, lmao at "responsible adults never run out"
