Kava, Valerian and or an sleep med should help. The night sweats last two days at the most for most people. Taper your dose. Only smoke a hit or two before sleep before you go to bed for 3 to 5 days.

I was always able to sleep through cannabis withdrawal with an otc sleep med or two and a beer or 3, alcohol acts somewhat similar to benzos.

as of late, i notice that every time i get high w/ the ladies, my overall capacity to be flirtatious disappears and i essentially became asexual for the duration of the high. has anybody else experienced this?

ya man totally. its not just with the ladies that smoking makes me feel socially incapable, but just smoking or being high around people i dont know. People respond alot better if you can remember what they say and use it to build conversation so its not the same bs small talk. being high makes it hard as fuck to keep track of what i'm thinking- let alone what someone else is talking about. and its not just you, every girl i've smoked with becomes less responsive when high.

but throw some alcohol in the mix and its a different story.
 
about 2 1/2 weeks without weed now. i dont miss it as much in daily life. i no longer crave it when i get home after university. i do however really want to have a chill session with friends, a few beers and a joint or two. i am trying to refrain from that though...i want to make it at least a month before i indulge in one of those sessions again. this kinda kills my social life but im busy with uni, skating and my gf anways.

i dont feel much different. a little less hazed maybe. today i was in a better mood and more sociable than i usually am though. ill have to wait and see if this persists. i am fairly certain that weed has changed my personality for the worse, making me less willing to socialise, especially with people i dont know. i hope i can revert this by quitting.
 
Weed Withdrawal?

First of all, I'm pretty new to this website; I know forums are really particular about things like threads being in the right place, "repeat threads", etc. , so I apologize in advance if this thread needs to be moved or closed for whatever reason.

Anyway...

I smoke a lot of weed, & I've been smoking weed everyday for a long time. I know that weed isn't physically addictive -- or at least it's certainly not supposed to be -- but about once every few months approx. I'll have brief trouble for one reason or another with finding good weed for a good price, & will be without it for two or three days. I could swear I experience some withdrawal effects whenever I have to go without weed for more than 24 hours. Obviously, the kind of withdrawal effects I'm talking about are relatively minor & barely even comparable with the sort of withdrawal you'd experience from most hard drugs. But whenever I have to go for more than a day without weed I start getting much more anxious, & irritable, & sometimes I get incredibly prone to outbursts of anger.

My question is, for all of you out there who have been smoking weed on a daily basis for any period of time longer than a few months -- Have you ever experienced any sort of "withdrawal effects" when you've had to go without weed? Am I just crazy for thinking that something that's not physically addictive can cause notably negative effects on my mood &/or mental state?
 
though weed doesnt have the addiction potential of many drugs, if you use something everyday and then quit cold turkey you'll probably notice some negative withdrawal effects.

Merged your post into the Quitting Thread because I feel you'll get the best response here. A lot of heavy smokers will agree with you in experiencing withdrawal symptoms. Some even go as far to say its worse than an opiate withdraw.

Use the search engine next time, you will find countless threads with helpful information.

/\what?! dude you haven't truly experienced weed then.smoking in bed is awesome.. you can smoke yourself into obliteration and if you pass out then HOLY SHIT YOUR IN BED. you can just sleepz. C;

To TheFDA: i'm a pretty heavy smoker and if I dont smoke, i hardly eat or sleep and im in a pretty shitty mood for the most part. I find, as most will tell you, the bitchiness goes away after a few days and exercise will increase your appetite and paired with eating healthy will also increase your mood. you'll feel more leveled out and less on edge
 
Ive been blazing for about 4-5 years, 3 of those years Daily. Always high grade bud for the most part but i am on day 3 of not smoking. I still have a pretty bad mood and as you would expect everything is a bore. I've had many moments where i tell my self this would be so much better if i was in the high mind set, but im resisting. I hope after a week it will get better like you guys are saying, im gonna try holding off as best as i can to reach that 1 week mark.
 
im an idiot when im high. i also self-reflect way too much which leads to overthinking things. i am more socially functional when i dont give a crap about how others view me. when high these type of thoughts consume me.

btw, havent bought weed for over a month, smoked 3 or 4 times maybe. makes me happy :)#

smoking a joint is special again and not something i do three times every day.
 
I'm sick of weed. I know some people can function as potheads. Well that's not me.

From my experience here is the key tro break\quitting.

Excercise, nutrition, and sunlight. Sunlight releases chemicals in your brain that make you happy. Not only that but I think we all gain something from spending time in nature. Nutrition is obvious. If your body is depleted of vitamins your not going to be bursting with energy. You need this energy for the third part. Excercise is the most important. Excercise release chemicals in your brain which make you happy. Often some of the same ones as drugs of abuse do. After excercise you will be hungry and you will be able to sleep easier. Good luck!

I used to smoke a few times a day. I havent smoked for about three months. I havent noticed any change in me and am thinking of going back to it next week. The reason i stopped was cos of exams but i dont think stopping has helped my mind, concentration. I have forgotten what it feels like to truly be high, but yet i think about it everyday. I find that when i stop using drugs, theyre all i think about. whats weird tho is that i cant remember the feeling of being stoned but still remember the rush i used to get from other drugs (k,mdma,coke etc)

I also find now that i over think everything and am quite anxious and on edge compared to before i started using drugs
 
'I havent noticed any change in me and am thinking of going back to it next week.'

You might want to wait longer before you return to smoking. I noticed you said you had smoked every day....but you didn't say for how long you were a daily smoker.

You can ask here or check out other places, but I think if you've been smoking for a while, there's a chance the built-up effects would take longer than three months to clear.

Thanks for your advice. Its been like three months until i last smoked, and i smoked everyday for about 6 months and then over the next year cut down slowly until i wasnt smoking anymore. Also, now summer's started and im not sure i want to stay clean anymore as im only 18.
 
Its been a little more than 15 days since the last time I smoked trees....about the longest break I've had this year...lack of funds and doing a drug test has led to me not blazing. :\
 
Going to be looking for a new job so I have to stop. I have a little bit left, only really smoked for about two weeks since my last break.

I have some synthetic blends which I will use till they are gone. However the point is going to be to stop getting high, rather then finding a substitute.
