^Who cares man?
The dude is distressed, and that's the only issue here. What kind of asshole goes around telling distressed people that they're silly for feeling the way they do because there are other people out there who feel even more distressed?
It pisses me off so goddamn much that every time someone posts a thread about cannabis withdrawal, a bunch of people come along spouting verbal diarrhea about how cannabis withdrawal isn't as bad as benzo withdrawal or opiate withdrawal.
No shit, bro-- of course its not as bad as benzo or opiate withdrawal, I've done those both and they're excessively intolerable beyond what any human being should EVER have to experience-- that's not even relative to the OP's problem at all though. That's a whole 'nother issue entirely that has nothing to do with the OP. The OP is reporting that his body is not functioning correctly when he doesn't consume cannabinoids, that is a completely valid concern and it deserves a compassionate response.
Furthermore, its pompous to make an assertion like "even the heaviest use of cannabis and cannabinoids would pale in comparison with the most minor effects of even, hell, a light pod habit" when the OP is reporting that his symptoms make him as subjectively uncomfortable as mild opiate withdrawal would make him feel. That is no different than telling the OP he is lying, and his feelings of distress are invalid. That's bullshit man, if the guys doesn't feel well then that should be all that matters in this discussion.
35 years of constant cannabis use is certainly capable of producing painful and uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms. The number of physiological processes regulated through the endocannabinoid system is staggering; when a person consumes exogenous cannabinoids for an extended period of time, it will cause them to cease production of endogenous cannabinoids-- thus when the user stops consuming cannabis, many important physiological processes cannot be properly regulated. Its just basic physiology and common sense: cannabis can be physically addictive just like any other substance that substitutes for endogenous compounds.
Additionally, cannabis use down-regulates CB1 receptors which subsequently causes your endogenous cannabinoids to be less effective (they are much weaker agonists than the cannabinoids present in cannabis).
Respect brother
My main concern here is my body'
My mind is clear and discernible of what is going on'
My reference to "weed" being like "H" withdrawal is based upon the "Goosing cold and sweating"
The first 3 days of a short acting opiate withdrawal is hell beyond of what anyone should be reasonably asked to go through' pain physically and psychologically' with a profound inability to get the psychi to operate outside of a grey depressed fog of pain'
After the initial 3 days' the pain recedes and you are left cold' rushing' goosed flesh' sometime sweating' agitated' full of anxieties of "Cravings" for a further 10-12 days'
for me "Weed" withdrawal gives me after 2-3 days' a freezing cold body' sweats' anger' anxieties' an inability to eat' no sleep'
I have no cravings' I now know if I blow weed again for 3 days' my body comes down and I stop freezing and sweating'
I have cut down consumption by 50%' I am cold' sweating' uncomfortable' just like clucking' I know opiates intimately' and now weed'
Weed feels like I took "H" for about a week' but the weed withdrawal is way longer and more involved'
"H" follows a pattern of which is easily discernible'
Weed follows a pattern that "due to social stress is very difficult to read'
If you are withdrawing on "H" you can withdrawal and tell the world to fuck off'
I find withdrawing from weed' no makes me withdrawal psychological' other than anger and agitations' it allows me to be sociable' but leaves me cold of body and goosed sweating' this is the same as the after math of an opiate withdrawal
dope is dopamine' as is "Heroin' endorphins and dopamine'
I feel physically rushed' of a cold body and sweating' and social tress increases the said'
The psychological need for weed is only increased by it's use'
I require a certain a mount of something from the weed to prevent my body from sweating and freezing'
Ez'
Blackeye'
Appreciate the comments'
