Well I've really done it now. I'm in my early twenties and have been smoking somewhat regularly since I was 18. For the past two years I've been smoking very heavily, pretty much several times a day, only going maybe a day or two without smoking, and that was pretty rare. I'd used a bong, and smoke for what some may call "marathon" smoking sessions.

About a year ago I've really noticed my inability to keep a full erection. I also have pretty much no sex drive. I can still jerk off, but it's not as easy as I remember it.

Anyway, I went cold turkey two weeks ago. I went through all sorts of anxiety, cold/hot chills, etc. Pretty much all the physiological and mental "withdrawals" that going cold turkey can do to you. For the last week I've been jogging, or at least doing as much jogging as such a heavy smoker can do. And I STILL am having problems with sex drive and getting/keeping an erection. I'm getting really worried. I know I still have cannabinoids in my body, and will for another 2 or 3 weeks (from what I've read.)

I plan on hitting the gym every day starting tomorrow, as I've read working out can help. In fact, I went cold turkey before after smoking quite heavily, and working out with weights REALLY helped. (Although the problem wasn't as bad as it is now.) I just don't remember how long it took before I was back to normal. I've been eating healthy for the 2 weeks I haven't been smoking.

Any suggestions? I'd really hate to have to go to a doctor for this ****.
 
well if you feel like youre back to normal then your routine must of helped
jsut keep it up and reduce the smoking maybe only once or twice a week
 
I've only experienced increased sex drive with cannabis and i'm a daily smoker for the past couple years as well (22 yrs old)
 
Umm so when you say heavy smoker you mean cigs or your past pot smoking?

Cigs are a lot more likely to cause ED than pot.

I don't honestly know of anyone with ED from smoking pot. Hell I have been a daily smoker for close to 10 years and have loss of feeling all over my body from multiple sclerosis and have no issues with ED.

Talk to your Dr. don't tell him about pot and get your self checked out. Asking advice from a bunch of random pot heads is well not the best place to get medical help.
 
Weed always increased my sex drive, especially when I was using it heavily. Perhaps this problem is caused by something other than the weed? Would be much better to get a doctors opinion as its likely to be a pre existing issue. Only thing I can think of weed-wise is increasing anxiety causing this, but doesn't seem likely.

The fact you have quit the weed, are following a healthy lifestyle and still have the same problem should be indication enough that something else is the problem here.
 
When I was burning heavily,(4-5 times a day every day for a couple years), my sex drive went wayyy down...and not so much erectile dysfunction as I was simply uninterested, so many things i'd rather do. I smoke about five days a week now and only once or twice per day...and my sex drive is much better, though i find that it is at its peak only when im completely sober. :\

I really wish pot made me horny, that would make my life much better...

Try doing some kegal exercises, that always seems to help.
 
When i was a heavy daily smoker for 11 years i never had ED but could have cared less whether i had sex or not.
 
Take some L-arginine, it dilates blood vessels.

Or go to a bar (or party), find a bomb ass chick and try and get lucky. If everything goes well I'm sure your problem will go away real fast. ;)
 
Lol, thats funny. wait at least 2 months & you will be attempting to nail anything on two(sometimes four) legs.
 
sorry dude but that is kinda funny....sad, but funny..seriously now, okay cut down on the use or stop, and go see your doc, its not uncommon for males 18-30 to experience mild forms of ED, i knew a kid who had it and hes only 18, the weed may have an effect on your sex drive.
