mood lift, euphoria
laughter
relaxation, stress reduction
creative, philosophical or deep thinking : ideas flow more easily
increased appreciation of music. More aware of, deeper connection to music.
increased awareness of senses. (eating, drinking, smell)
change in experience of muscle fatigue. Pleasant body feel. Increase in body/mind connection.
pain relief (headaches, cramps)
reduced nausea, increased appetite (used medically for this)
boring tasks or entertainment can become more interesting or funny

NEUTRAL
general change in consciousness (as with many psychoactives)
increased appetite, snacky-ness
slowness (slow driving, talking)
change in vision such as sharpened colors or lights
closed-eye visuals (somewhat uncommon)
tiredness, sleepiness, lethargy
stimulation, inability to sleep (less common)
blood shot eyes (more common with certain varieties of cannabis and inexperienced users)
mouth dryness, sticky-mouth (varies with strain)
interrupts linear memory. Difficulty following a train of thought.
cheek, jaw, facial tension / numbness (less commonly reported)
racing thoughts (especially at high doses)
increased emotional impact of music
Time sense altered: cars seem like they are moving too fast, time dilation and compression are common at higher doses

NEGATIVE
nausea, especially in combination with alcohol, some pharmaceuticals, or other psychoactives
coughing, asthma, upper respiratory problems
difficulty with short term memory during effects and during periods of frequent use
racing heart, agitation, feeling tense
mild to severe anxiety
panic attacks in sensitive users or with very high doses (oral use increases risk of getting too much)
headaches
dizziness, confusion
lightheadedness or fainting (in cases of lowered blood pressure)
paranoid & anxious thoughts more frequent
possible psychological dependence on cannabis
clumsiness, loss of coordination at high doses
can precipitate or exacerbate latent or existing mental disorders

WITHDRAWAL SYMPTOMS
mild to moderate, non life-threatening withdrawal symptoms occur after daily use in some users. These may last for 1-6 weeks after cessation of use and can include anxiety, anhedonia (reduced experience of pleasure), headaches, general unease/discomfort, difficulty sleeping, and a desire to smoke pot. Severity of symptoms is related to frequency of use and individual sensitivity.
slight loss of appetite
finding non-stoned life a bit dull, increased boredom

i dunno, not really, i went 2 weeks cold turkey up until that point id been heavy smoking for about 6 months(and plenty more before that) and felt absolutely fine, but its different for some people, or so they say..

First of all, a Cannabis withdrawl can't be THAT bad. Take an aspirin.

And secondly... your AV rules.

Cannabis withdrawls are nothing out of the ordinary... the only symptoms I usually have from not smoking for a period of time are just mild headaches and the desire to puff on mary. Other than that im straight if I don't smoke for awhile.

If that's you in the avatar, morepics please.

I just always wanna smoke weed. If I don't I want to, but I don't get headaches. It's hard to have weed and not smoke some.

[mightymarijuanabuds]

i only get headaches when i smoke too much

never experienced anything id call 'withdrawls' other than a slight desire to smoke if i havent been

[Lit Up]

i get clammy hands, a slight headache, and some anxiety, but take care of that with guess what??..........more pot. I get these if i dont smoke for a day or two, thats the longest ive gone in the last few months.

i smoked for 12 years and quit cold turkey, due to drug testing at my job. I didnt have any withdrawal at all. Possibly a little mental "wanna get high" thoughts but that was about it. I experienced major withdrawal from alcohol, night sweats,chills,depression,hopelesness,almost was divorced....thx to the US. government, for making alcohol legal.It about destroyed me in a car accident, caused my father to physically beat the shit out of me and my mother,divorce... list goes on...Marijuana does not cause these things. the legal drugs do.
