How long till withdrawal effects are noticeable?

[Dalfir]

I used to smoke once every 2 weeks with friends, but since I started buying my own weed, I've smoked every day for the last 3 weeks with a day break in each week.

Yesterday I had quite an intense session and visualised myself telling my parents I was a drug addict. I'd like to go on a week break, at least, just to make sure that I can without too much trouble.

Have I been smoking long enough to produce ill effects like sweating and insomnia or does that only happen with very heavy users?

Visualized? Do you mean that the weed has psychosis effects on yourself? Because weed has been more or less proven now that there are no psychosis effects, so if this is true then you might be smoking more than what you paid for.

Other than that, I can only say that if you felt insomnia or any of the other effects during those day breaks within the weeks that you took, then you are probably going to feel it hard during the break. Remember, Marijuana acts differently to everyone, so you could just simply not get those symptoms.

Can't say I've ever heard of anyone having withdrawals when they quit smoking. But I could see how someone would have trouble sleeping after quitting.

Usually after about 3 days that goes away.

But I only smoke a gram a day so don't really notice any side effects if I take time out

As you mentioned below, weed does have a different effect on all individuals. I believe I know what this individual is describing when he says visualized, because I too experience mild hallucinogenic effects during high doses (Disconnect from reality, closed eye visuals, mild open eye visuals, inability or difficulty 'remembering' the real world. In simplest terms, I get lost in my own imagination)

weed isnt physically addicting so if ur not a weak ass person u should be fine takin a week off.

good luck with it tho.

Not a hallucination, just a very strong thought in my mind. I dont have problems with a day break, because I know I'll be smoking again the next day.

Then you won't have a problem taking a week off from smoking, because you know that the following week you'll be smoking again. :thumbsup:

Your facts here are incorrect. In some susceptible people, it can indeed trigger such episodes. You can find threads with links about it throughout this sub-forum or you can Google "cannabis psychosis." In test after test, both with whole weed and with isolated THC, they've found that it can trigger psychosis in a small percentage of the population. Doesn't do it to everyone by any means. But in a few it can happen.

Definitely wasn't psychosis...It was just getting tangled in my thoughts.

I have never had any bout of paranoia or negative experience on weed that comes even close to comparing with my horrendously intense bad acid trip.
