I went thought cannabis WD just recently...not voluntarily...the post office lost my order oh well.

The first week or so was rough in terms of cravings but it smoothed out after that. I smoke mostly for med reasons...stop laughing, i'm serious! and I have to compensate for that. But I wouldn't say its worse than quitting any other pleasurable activity. Try giving up sex and/or masturbation! See how you're feeling after a couple weeks!

But I wouldn't recommend taking anything to compensate because most everything else, including antidepressants, alcohol, etc. Are even worse in terms of dependence and withdrawal. Herbals are better options and aerobic exercise helps a lot. You gotta get those endorphins built back up again.

GL!
