I dont know any way to stop them besides smoking... i dont know if they go away after some time, as fortunately i never had to stop smoking for longer than 1 week since i started to smoke daily...

Anyway, im sure that they are caused by the lack of weed and the fear of not being able to smoke again... a psychologist would have a lot to say about this... :jointsmile:
Ug. Well that's not too promising. I would think that it would just stop on it's own. Surely it's not gonna keep going on and on for months! That would be crazy eh? I wonder what a psychologist might say? Hmmmmm?

I'm just spitting back what he says, so please don't shoot the messenger!!!

Oh....
Shit.

Like it's not bad enough that I can't get to sleep until 4 or 5 in the morning to begin with, but then when I do.....
ah hell. Sounds like I may just be up shit creek here for a while. Hopefully I can just tough this out. Therapy? Anti-depressants? Ugh! I think I would rather just try to deal with it. Hell if I go in for therapy, odds are they may not let me leave! No siree bob not me! :thumbsup:
Thanks for the relating the experience coelho, and for the info big. Hope someone else that has beat this chimes in here. Appreciate the posts folks. Good info, let's keep it coming. Thank you.:jointsmile:
This really does re-open my eyes though, and help me appreciate my cannabis even more for it's usefulness. I know there were times that I really did take it for granted, and didn't totally appreciate how valuable it is to me as medicine. So that's something good that is coming from this...
I guess.:jointsmile:
