Marijuana reset

[xaddictx]

Not sure if I'm in the right area. If so, mods please move. I was going thru a bit of alcohol withdrawal, nothing bad just anxiety. I smoked some weed yesterday and it seems like it reset my brain because when I woke up today, I felt fine. No sign of withdrawal. Can weed do this?

 

[burn out]

yes

lol, weed bleedings. Yo.. so how would a weed withdrawal feel like, if we're here why not share with me? I am extremely curious, god you made me laugh ty so much.

Not really. At least by no mechanism I can think of, other than alcohol withdrawal simply being pretty short lived (for some).

In fact marijuana has pro adrenergic effects that could even make GABAergic withdrawal worse (although the adrenergic properties are seen generally in consistent users of marijuana). This is one of the reasons why heavy marijuana abusers sometimes need additional anesthetic agents in the induction and maintenance of general anesthesia.

the anxiety you were experiencing was likely psychological and not actual withdrawal

when I quit drinking taking a quick jog would reset my anxiety/perceived withdrawal

a lot of things, like weed, can take your mind off the anxiety of not drinking

Makes sense. Thanx Snafu

The after effects of weed can last into the next day, maybe you were just feeling slight relief from some of the already mild withdrawal symptoms because there was still weed in your system

Even if its Indica dominant?

Would not matter.

Though marijuana does seem to have some anti-addictive effects, at least philosophically in the psychedelic-like high. Can cause one to reevaluate things. But physiologically not so much, beyond whatever mild sedation and (variable) anti-anxiety effect it might have.

Ok. Yea I'm just speaking from experience. Sativa dominant would send me into a literal anxiety attack. Borderline panic attack, whereas Indica I can handle and eventually puts me to sleep
