Answer 1

It's good that you want to get rid of a yucky bad-for-you habit. Kudos!
To deal with the withdrawl, you probably have to tough it out. You've got to keep yourself focused on your goal and realize that the withdrawl symptoms will only be temporary. After you make it through them once, you'll (hopefully) never have to experience them again. That's nice, right? :-) It's better than remaining addicted to it and feeling guilty every time you smoke weed.

So this time when you finally quit for good, you'll have to try something different. Plan ahead. Since you know it takes about a week for the withdrawl symptoms to become unbearable, plan a distraction for then, like a movie with mom or dinner with a friend. Keep yourself busy busy busy. Tell someone you trust about what you're trying to do and ask him or her to help by keeping you busy, understanding why you may be moody, & listening when you have to vent.

Exercise to keep your mind off the drug, and also to help tire you out so you might sleep better. Just make sure not to exercise for about 2 hours before bed or your metabolism will remain elevated when you want to sleep. Don't take sedatives or sleeping pills like Tylenol pm or Advil pm- you're already addicted to one drug, you don't want to become addicted to another.

Make sure you drink enough water. Your body can deal with it if you don't eat much for a few days, but you can't do without water for as long. If you want to make sure you're getting food in your belly, try healthy finger foods or other things that people often eat without thinking about it.

Read, play sports/games with friends, go window shopping, cook or bake, go to school or work if that applies to you, go for a long walk, talk to someone you love... Do anything but the drug so that you'll keep yourself from thinking about it so much.

Good luck!

weed is addictive and nobody beleives that it is. i know how you feel i seen it before in college. knew a guy who tried to quit once. and after a week he got sick and couldint eat at all. he was vomiting. then he smoked a bowl and was good as new. he is stuck with it for life. just maybe try to wean yourself off it. reduce amount you use every week so if do 6 a day. do 5 next week. the week after that do 4 a day. and so on.

Answer 3

Start cutting back for about 2 weeks and then eventually stop altogether. Check yourself into a rehab if you start feeling thoughts of paranoia or suicide or you cant handle it. Pot is very addictive and anyone who says "no to that" is wrong. They should do some research before giving bad advice. All the symptoms your experiencing are common with pot withdrawals. Good luck. Your body is strong and can take a lot of abuse, just remember that you "mentally" have the power to overcome the withdrawals.

Answer 4

Weed is not a phisically addicting drug, therefore it is in your mind you are craving it.

it is called psychological addiction.

I never experienced any sort of withdraw when i quit getting high.

I smoked from the time I was thirteen and quit when I was in my late twenties.

The only reason I quit is because it got to damn expensive.

Answer 5

I had the same problem. You need professional help. And it is OK!!! You need to go to a treatment center and medically detox. A lot of people has to do that, it makes comming off of drugs a little easier. This is the begining of a new life for you.

Answer 8

cannabis is not physically addictive. it's a psychological addiction, which can be difficult to overcome. nonetheless you just need will power to do it. if you find it difficult there are resources available to help you quit. if it were me, i'd seek the support of friends and/or family (it helps to have other people just "on your side"), and i think you'll find that you get over the addiction in a month or two.

Answer 9

Pot isn't addictive, so you shouldn't be experiencing symptoms like this. It may be that you enjoy being high or have spent so much time being high that you can't stand it when you aren't. Stay away from people for about a week, and stay off the weed forever. This to shall pass.

Answer 10

Ease yourself down son, you got dependant on it, not addicted. puff twice at 9 pm and once more if you still cant sleep, never during the day, and youll be fine in a few days.
