I do think it's some kind of withdrawal/dependence thing from when I use it daily. I'm very sensitive to stimulants; alcohol gives me this painful adrenaline thing where I can't sleep, so I can't drink anymore; no caffiene but chocolate & Yerba mate or I get shaky & OCD. I take a very small amount of the tincture at bedtime when I take it and yea, if I take it every night, if I stop or vary the dosage then headaches. I still think that's getting headaches from taking it since the headaches go away in a day or 2. But what you guys have said has been helpful. Varying the mj strains or finding a better strain would help if I can't also vary the delivery. Too bad I can't really do that right now, but I'll keep it in the back of my mind for when I get the opportunity.

scazza Reviewed by scazza on . Withdrawal headache, help I'm new to mj use, I have chronic sleep problems and anxiety, and I've found an indica veg glycerine tincture very effective (I'm a singer so ingesting it, no smoke, is the only way I can take it). However when I take it every night, if I stop it or take less I'll get a headache the next day. I never get headaches so I know it's from the mj. I'd love to take it regularly, but the risk of these headaches makes it impossible for regular use. How do medical marijuana users handle ill side Rating: 5
