Hi guys, just posting this here because I could find surprisingly few experiences of people using CBD to stave off marijuana withdrawals. I've been a daily smoker for over 8 years and have in that time had to stop for a few days/weeks several times. Each time I had to deal with body temperature fluctuations, anxiety, sweats, severe insomnia (followed by a period of very intense dreams), stomach discomfort, complete loss of appetite, nausea and most of all irritability and anger outbursts.
I'm now on day 4 of being without weed and have been taking CBD 3x times daily (10 drops of 5% raw CBD oil). I'm amazed with how well it gets rid of nearly all the withdrawal symptoms. The only thing it doesn't seem to help with is the loss of appetite, but that I don't mind so much as I could do with losing a few kilos anyway. It kills the irritability and anxiety (imo the wort parts of weed withdrawal) and although it is a little harder to fall asleep than usual I am still sleeping. I remember in the past it would take me 2-4 days of virtually no sleep before being able to have a solid night. Oddly enough I've also not experienced the incredibly vivid dreams I usually get when stopping weed.
Anyway, anyone else used CBD for weed withdrawals with success? If not, I'd strongly recommend it for anyone needing to go through a detox!
