Who Says there are withdrawls from Cannabis

[MadSativa]

I have been herb less for a couple days, since Friday. And no with drawls, no running around looking to clean pipes, I got a bunch of steams, and I am not ripping into it to smoke steams, or ripping into the ash trays. I am not breaking pipes for resin.

Now some one explain to me how you had with drawls when you stopped smoking herb. I will admit it sucks, I am used to smoking allot, like over an 1/8 a day, the week leading up to the dryness of my town, I was smoking hash and and purps, all day all night. and I have not had a break in about 10 years. so My tolerance is way up their, and I stopped like I had and then I didnt have, and I knew I was not gonna get any kind of with drawl, but some people in here try to say your gonna get head aches or, whatever.

I got none of that, in fact I feel exactly the same, I am just not baked. No head aches, no nothing, but the want to find a sack and rip my bong like any other day. But my town is dry and I know it will probably be a while till I score, and I still dont care, because I will smoke when I get some more. When ever that may be.

I know what a with drawl feels like, I was prescribed opiates for pain, for over 2 months, when I wised up and saw what they were doing. and I stopped cold then too, and it was awful for a month. I could not eat, I could not sleep, and I felt bad, achy sick horrible.

So their you go, their is no withdrawls, theirs wants and then there are needs. I need to eat, I need to breath. I want to smoke you see the difference their. like every other day I run or walk a little in the mornings, and now that I haven't smoked herb in a couple days, I do the same. you would not be able to do that if you were withdrawing.

so I call bullshit in the case of it gives you with drawls.

Maybe those "people's" headaches are stemming from somewhere else and the marijuana would just treat the symptom; when they stop smoking, it comes back. Then they wrongly think it is a symptom of marijuana withdrawals....

crazy!

No physiological withdrawals from thc - but i can understand (and have experienced) psychological withdrawals.

Hello MadSativa,

While I too have never suffered withdrawl symptoms from stopping mj cold turkey, I do know people who have. So I'm not about to "CALL BULLSHIT" to someone who does suffer physical symptoms from stopping. Besides mj haveing a psychoactive compontent it also works on the physiology of the body, including such things as pain control and lowering blood pressures.

Stopping mj cold turkey for some people will mean an increase in pain or the raising of blood pressures which could lead to headaches, both of which are physical symptons of thier having stopped.

I grow mmj and provide it free thru a cancer group (people fighting the disease) and a hospice group (people who are dying) to help aleviate physical problems and even psychological problems associated with treatments and or dying. It has a wonderfull calming effect on many.

I think you need to have a little more compassion for people in general and you're fellow users in particular.

no to mention the mood altering affects. by this i mean using cannabis as opposed to benzo's. i turn into a dickhead for a couple of days when i don't get to smoke.......just ask my wife! she always tells me "you need to smoke some weed!"

I must say that I have never suffered from any withdrawls from weed but I know several that have like the mood thing is so very true..but I feel that you can have withdrawls from anything.:hippy:

[NeverEnough]

I smoked about a quarter to a half a day during the summer.
Now back in school i have no connects, no money, and no weed.(some growing)

I have anger issues and i got along great with everyone. Now without weed im trying to make straight A's and im pissed alot. Its not withdraw for me it was habbit and that habbit was ritual. Whatever it is going cold turkey after months of binge sucks harder then never smoking at all.

My master plan is to have one huge monster grow over summer and store hash for years.

[martymarty]

No problems with withdrawels here either. Went from having ALL that I wanted, when ever I wanted to the last mason jar. Thought for sure that after over half a year of an oz a week that I would have problems. There were none. Even though I do agree that there is a part of it that I missed as it did keep me emotionally feeling more stable, and physically helps me with other issues. After that decided to quit. Tried drinking wine instead. This upset my stomach and the next day I felt a little bit sick. A few months ago. A friend shared a clone with me, that I cloned and traded for another clone. Now I have ladies in waiting. Still not able to find any to toke but am waiting for a good harvest soon.

[VapedG13]

Well whenever I quit ..I get bad stomach pains for the first 3-4 days and I'm not very hungry.....not to mention I have alot less patients without my daily dose of weed

[the image reaper]

I've smoked steadily for a good many years, and when I occasionally stop for a couple days, I get mean as hell ... very short-tempered ... but, that may just be my normal 'walking around' mood, too :wtf: ... so, I play it safe, and stay stoned :D

[eddie13]

Hi everyone,
i smoke for 35 years now, and when I am without pot for a day or so..., I don't get withdrawals in a full meaning of this word , but the symptoms of my sickness are much more severe and painful, if compared to the times when I am whacked out on some ice or white rhino ( I lived through three harvests back to back, and those days where one of the best times in my life ), but even when I am buying from a dealer, it must be good quality, otherwise I am in a bad mood, symptoms of my depression are sky high and I just don't want to be bothered...Is this considered withdrawals? I think so. In a very mild form (definitely not as painful as a hangover) but still a form of withdrawls. We all can get those from drinking coffee, even more so from drinking real loose tea and off cause smoking. Oh well, we have to pay somehow for moments of relief from crocodile kisses of pain and misery.

Did no one read this post? Doug has it right on. Mary Jane just covers up all our little aches and pains and makes us mellow. When she's gone the shit stirs up. Simple as that.

[legalize420WEED]

I smoke a lot of weed probably an equivalent to a quarter to the head but sometimes connects can be dry and i can't smoke =/. Idk if its just me or if anyone else has had this happen; but when I can't get my daily dose of my sweet Mary-Jane I get real anxious, not a nervous anxious though. I also don't have any prior experiences with anxiety before the herb. I guess its not much of a withdrawl but I do start to feel real out of place with myself until I smoke.

I feel ya man, that's exactly how i am when i have no more bud. I tend to get very, very short tempered especially over stupid shit.

Hi shake what's good man? It's pretty widely researched and known that marijuana does not have physically addicting properties. So that being said I think his post does make a lot of sense.

[dimondmyne]

Everytime I've quit, the dreams start, I mean 3D surround sound dolby digital Dreams. Then... anger, irritability, and depression. Fun stuff:(

I don't know, to you guys that say no withdrawals, maybe give it a week, your probably still high for days after the amounts of weed yaw'll smoked.

[martymarty]

It is funny that when I have a grow that I do crave it more. Something about seeing them gets me thinking about what I do not have. If it is not around ( the ladies) I do not miss it.

yeah i had the same thing. It was hard for me to sleep for about a week, you get so angry and irritated that i would scream and yell at people, my dreams were so vivid and crazy that i ended up snorting adderal with my great grand father in one of them.

One of the most pronounced things that happened to me was that for a while, every god damn thing except for smoking weed seemed so boring.

[Reefer Rogue]

yeah if i don't have a smoke i start killing people and burning down houses and last time i set all the animals at the zoo free. I need help :)

yeah, i think that sounds about right. weed inhibits dreaming so when you quit they can come back with a vengeance. seems like about a week out they started (for me) and lasted for about month or so. i kept dreaming that i would be at a party and someone would pass me a j, i would take a big hit and it would be nothing but air. :eek: not scary just irritating. :jointsmile:

my ex-wife was never a big fan of herby but she was cool with me smoking it, as long as i was very stealthy about it. :stoned:

I've been smoking for about 35 years, and I've had to stop innumerable times for one reason or another and not once have I ever experienced any sort of withdrawal at all. Personally, I think those that experience what they refer to as "withdrawal" is all in their head. They realize they're out and they start getting frantic, running from source to source, and, as was mentioned earlier, going through seeds and stems. All they need to do is calm themselves down, know in their hearts that "Hey, I'm not getting high for a while" and just be OK with it.

I've been out for nearly 2 weeks now (can't find any), but I know it'll be coming around again eventually. I miss it, but I'm not going to freak out about it.

your probaly feel like me alot of lazy becasue you probaly should cut back but cant and u forget alot and lose shit lol i hate it

Very well worded, I see allot of validity their. "Because I want cake does not mean I need cake."
And to those of you reading with medicinal problems such as chemical imbalances, or other mind altering disabilities, I do apologize this thread was not intended for those that suffer from something as horrible as a mind disability, which allot of us here suffer from. It was intended for those of us with medical problems other than, and also to those out their who think all of use who smoke are addicted and cant stop smoking. My town went dry for a about a week (I know an eternity), but I could not score the herb that i am accustom to smoking. their was gas smelling herb, and everything that looked like a brick, and all way over priced. So I didn't buy the crap and optioned to stop smoking, not for ever just till I find some good herb.
I went 3 day cold turkey, the a friend smoked me out, phat blunt, then went cold turkey for 9 days scored some really good kush, but figured some one will argue you only went 9 days. So I did not smoke for another 5 days and made it a full 2 weeks ( I know like forever).
I never said I was gonna quite forever just wanted to see, what I was like when I didn't smoke, and yes I was irritable and quick tempered, but I am even when I am baked, I am just high and most of time don't care about that guys who's started some *ish. Someone once told me "their is always Irony in life only those things with no Irony should we really watch or be skeptical of. And Cannabis is one with a great Irony, in ordered to appreciate and truly love Cannabis, you must sometimes stop smoking and take a break, if for only a short time, just to know what life is with out Cannabis".

Now as I smoke a phat bong bowl, I say salue, cheers, sante, opah, kom Pi. For it is better to be with weed and not need then to be with out weed and need, for even if I did not have a medical problem, I would smoke till as long as time would allow. I know some of my friends here are burdened with medical problems much more then what I have and I do think about you often.

But to the statement of Cannabis gives you withdrawals, I gotta call BULLSHIT, again this is intended to those who have a healthy-ish mind. I know most of us say we do but we all know their is no such thing, and if their was we would not have van Go or Shakespeare, or The Simpson's for that matter.

I welcome all to prove me wrong or give me your opinion.
