Just hit 21 days after 4 years of smoking everyday. I’m still irritable asf but at least the cold sweats have calm down now. Wasted so much time and money and now looking back I regret ever starting. Wishing my fellow peeps who are looking to stop to keep pushing. Good luck y’all🙏

Been smoking since I was 16, I’m 28 now. Most all of my friends have stopped and are doing real adult shit and I still wanna hide from reality and smoke weed. I been asleep my whole twenties because of this drug. I feel like I wasted my youth on it. I don’t wanna be a 30 year old still using.

I'm on day 2. I'm stopping for good this time. I have 0 motivation to do anything in life when I smoke. Hopefully I get it back.

Insomnia. Loss of appetite, constipation, heavy sweating and nausea. Im pretty sure these are physical symptoms, doctors and the media dont know anything lmaooo 💀🤡

the part thats really addicting is the mindset. it makes you happier than you should be, so when your sober you crave not feeling like you do because of whatever reasons, causing stress which is awful for you

I can cause physical withrawl, even though it's not as bad as other drugs. It is very real. Profuse sweating, feverish, insomnia, no appetite, nausea. These are all pretty common among those who smoke regularly. I have first hand experience on this and it sucks

Was a heavy tobacco smoker, 1liter of alcohol a day. I'll say this, cannabis is tougher mentally

It's really f**king hard, but it's worth it

25 , just quit because i kept lying to myself that i wasn’t addicted. Its cost me jobs , relationships and more. The disassociation is whats addicting…no one wants to admit it tho

So sick of this stigma. Weed is fucking addicting and it has physical withdrawals. But of course they'll tell this shit to keep you in the rat race smoking weed not thinking it's a big deal.

Smoking weed was the worse decision I have ever made. Something I started 16 years ago is still affecting me. 😢

I started smoking weed during an abusive relationship. I was getting physically hit (on top of all the other forms of abuse) and after hours of him spiraling/abusing me, hed settle down and he’d light a blunt. I was never a smoker before this. I’d smoke with him because it turned into my coping mechanism to numb myself. I didn’t have any close friends or family to turn to, I honestly accepted my fate: that he would kill me, that no one cared for me and this was my bed- so I had to lay in it. I finally fled to a DV shelter after 4 years . It’s been about 7 years and I haven’t stopped smoking. I suffered from ptsd which kept me isolated at home, without working or seeing people. Smoking got me through the loneliness and pain. The habit has transformed into a monster I’m trying to take down in my life. I feel it’s crippling me in so many areas. Sometimes I wonder what it would be like to be free and not be dependent . To be able to go through my day without NEEDING to do this, only to ruin my day with cancelled plans , undone chores, late homework . Etc. I pray for healing and recovery for all us suffering with trauma. People don’t realize a lot of those who suffer from traumatic experiences are more prone to become addicted to weed. My current bf now , doesn’t smoke AT ALL. Has no desire for it. Meanwhile, I’m feening 😅 I know it’s because he’s never had to numb himself to survive another day. People are suffering. The first step would be to get specialized therapy. Fill my free time with hobbies and do all the things I’ve wanted to do that the HIGH stole motivation for . Pray for me somebody!!!!!

Let’s talk about the fact I can’t sleep for days on end when trying to quit. Let’s talk about the fact that my mood can go from totally calm to ballistic rage when I die in Valorant. Let’s talk about how I can go a day and a half without feeling hungry, only forcing myself to eat when I’m starting to get too tired to move. Let’s talk about how temperature regulation goes out the window and how my body decides randomly to superheat itself, only to follow it with subthermal shivers randomly throughout my day. My personal favorite, let’s talk about how my body likes to reject food after 1 day of quitting. I can only keep liquids down as it reminds me of always having a water next to me while smoking. I won’t say doctors don’t know anything, because they clearly know more than I do in most subjects, but let’s be real, most doctors aren’t smoking weed, much less chronically. If you want to know real symptoms, talk to people with firsthand accounts of quitting.

Been smoking for 26 years. I get sick as heck without a couple puffs a day. Insomnia. No appetite.anxiety from hell .....

I used weed as a medicine to help my ADHD symptoms in the nights as it’s always been a big struggle to relax properly and focus so it always helped with that but last week I decided to quit weed for financial matters and the first week of stopping my ADHD symptoms was almost like a rebound effect as it was very intense with all the typical ADHD symptoms such as chronic stress, hyper behaviour, insomnia, cortisol levels was very high which caused sweating and panic. Basically suffered from dopamine depletion as thc drains your dopamine levels and as an adhd individual who has typically less dopamine than the neurotypical person, it was very intense but now time has passed since having any and i feel a lot more stable in myself and just much better. Thanks so much for this video, so interesting with how the psychological dependency works with weed!

If you think you have physical withdrawal you're wrong. The psychological impact is what tricks you into thinking so. Once you're prepared mentally, that diminishes almost completely. Trust me I smoked for over 15 years chronically, daily, extremely dependent and thought I couldn't do it but wrong

For me quitting it causes loss of appetite, and very intense dreams.

I quit smoking weed 6 weeks ago after smoking every day for 15 years, and havnt had a dream the whole time. Now I dream every night. It's fkn wild 🤣

Day 2 of quitting weed and it’s not too bad, the only problems I have are some insomnia and appetite issues.

Seeing how many burned ass brains are in the comments, makes me more proud that I quit smoking weed and tabacco. I also didn't want to know what weed causes to my brain and body and what I should expect after I quit, but here I am... In the 3 week feeling half dead but seeing that everything is slowly getting better.

Essentially started with “The first thing to remember is that you don’t have it that bad and I don’t know why your struggling.” Weed absolutely has physical and mental withdrawal symptoms anyone who says otherwise is just simply wrong. I have no idea where this idea that weed isn’t addictive or that it somehow shouldn’t be considered a drug on the same level as nicotine or alcohol. It is absurd and damaging to those who don’t know better.

Bullshit I got physical symptoms.

100% causes physical withdrawals

As someone who used to say u cant get addicted to weed before I started smoking, to now constantly saying “this is ny last batch” and cant go one day without finding myself back at the dispensary and then guilting and shaming myself while getting high is very ironic

Delta-9-THC causes physical dependence with chronic use. You don't know what youre talking about. Severe sweating, insomnia, shakes and tremors, restless legs, anger, etc. are all somatic withdrawal symptoms from Delta-9-THC. Just because it isn't as intense as full ethanol withdrawal doesn't mean it doesn't cause physical dependence. ALL the research in humans and animals shows this.

In Jan. of 2005, I permanently quit using cannabis, and I'm very glad that I did quit. Permanently quitting cannabis use helped me to become myself again. It enabled me to permanently quit tobacco use, and I made other major improvements at that time as well.

For anyone who smokes and wants to stop or thinking about it:Do not smoke wax it’s gonna leave u tired and feeling shitty and u be damn near dieing hitting it

If you are a chronic user, the physical withdrawals are HUGE.

I completely disagree on the physical withdrawal not being bad. Ive gotten fevers, horrible stomach issues, insomnia, sweats, no appetite, the list goes on. We need to be honest about the high percentages of THC we’re consuming as a society and what it’s doing to our bodies.

Day 1 sober after a decade of daily smoking/vaping/consuming weed and never felt better! Can’t wait for 1 year sober!!

I experimented with most drugs but abused mainly cannabis and alcohol, for me cannabis was the hardest to quit, withdrawal symptoms that went on for several weeks if not longer. Most people think it’s not addictive but it is and I have relapsed a few times thinking I can control for it to take its grip once again, currently 11 months without weed and 7 without alcohol, life is good, sleep has never been better and lost 18kg, in the gym most days, I won’t go back

I promise you if you are a heavy user, you can experience physical withdrawal. Obviously the withdrawal is not potentially lethal like some other drugs here mentioned. I’ve quit a few times now for drug tests and each time I experienced sweating, shaking, irritability, restlessness, anxiety, nausea & vomiting.

Phycological dependency make a lot of sense. I’ve been trying to quit and a long time now with no luck. Effecting my job and everything in my life

I smoked for 15years and quit 3 days ago. Can't sleep can't eat, keep sweating /shaking and feal very aggressive. But I'm confident if I go through hell I'll come out stronger.

Just smoked a joint

13 years smoker ! & I’m on my 2 day today !! It’s hard but I been going to the gym to keep my mind busy ! It’s all about keeping busy Which is the hardest cuz as a smoker I would smoke to not do anything ! Now I gotta force my self to do things ! Ughh not easy but I’m gonna keep going

This is my second day quitting but the first night was rough. Sweating, insomnia, irritation and nausea was what I was suffering with

I feel so much better seeing I'm not the only one that's struggling with the addiction.

Smoked for 11 years then decided to quit. The withdrawl symptomps very much included physical symptomps. This guy doesnt know shit, i would not seek his services. No week for about 10 years now but it was really hard to quit. Thank God I am free.

I'm 18 and I've been smoking regularly (almost everyday) since 16. A couple days ago I decided to take a break due to economic reasons. I'm not rly experiencing any withdrawal effects neither mental nor phisic. My sleep is fine, appetite is fine and I'm not more irritable than normally. The thing i miss the most is my lullaby joint. I had the habit to smoke a j while listening to music before going to bad and it was one of my favourite moments of the day. Figured out I can replace that moment with other stuff to fill the void. That said I think having other hobbies besides smoking is what really makes me not mind the break

I think lots of people underplay psychological addiction. They don't realize that's still a serious withdrawal problem. For example sugar and chocolate are psychologically addictive. Imagine never being able to eat chocolate again, that's how bad it is.

Had some stuff happen, couldn’t not see it every time I was awake, smoked to stop seeing all of it. Tried to quit one day, had a dream with many of the bad memories, remembered all of it.

This guy looks more like Adam from myth busters than an actual doctor.

Im sweating, with my appetite finally coming back and only been 3 days sober. Smoked heavy on a daily basis for over 16 years. Symptoms might be psychological but they feel physical for real.

I'm 47. Been smoking every day since I was 12. It's hard to quit, but it's way easier if you really want to quit. It has only been a week and a half, but I'm ready to quit.

Weed has destroyed my finances and affected my mental health. I decided yesterday that it was time to move on and have disposed of all related paraphernalia.

I quit and I use to be a chronic long term smoker. The first couple day's clean my stomach was a little nauseous nothing over whelming. Mentally after the first two weeks I found myself not even thinking about it unless I'm around someone that lites up. It's doable, no big deal really if you really want it.

Today is my last day. There was a time when I had to quit cold turkey when i lived alone without my kids and wife. That was a nightmare, LITERALLY. Im a hardcore smoker and have been for 12 straight years everyday. This time around I have my kids and wife and a newborn and quitting cold turkey again for a good career, won’t be so hard this time around. Its all mental .

My friend got admitted to the mental hospital since he got so depressed going of the weed. He had some form of PTSD though. Took around one month for him to get more or less to baseline.

On day 3 basically but damn reading all these comments has me realizing I’m going through it lol can’t sleep not even hungry and I have had constant headaches been smoking since 2020 for almost every single day other day dispo declined me cause my license expired and I ended up taking it as a sign to quit been down for a long time tried many times before but really wanna get my head straight and focus on bigger things

man last night I had the most realistic dream I was back in high school but it was pitch black at night and I was locked inside with something following me. It felt so vivid I realized I was dreaming but I could feel all my muscles and the sense of space was so real. The dreams (and nightmares) are no joke

I quitted from everyday smoking to none in a heartbeat. Changed my life for the better, 8 years of doing nothing was enough. Failed my first business because of it and it really sobered me up for good.

In my experience weed makes PTSD worse.

I have been an avid smoker for going on 5 years now and I have tried many times to stop, I started because of ptsd and I haven’t been able to muster up the courage to go through with quitting this time but I want to badly. I just get really anxious and have horrible mood swings that scare myself and my family.

I quit drinking in august 2021 Then weed October 2021 Effexor and benzos September 2022 And it was hell going thru all them around same time I don’t miss alcohol or weed I miss escaping and not being bored tho And benzos were prescribed for anxiety in 2007 It’s hard without them but they’re no good for u

Bruh ive been a daily smoker for a decade and stopped cold turkey oct 1st. I can’t sleep or eat but i lve exercised everyday since I quit which is wild

I’m sure having a lot of physical fucking withdrawals lol. Can’t sleep can’t eat can’t stop sweating 😅

Thank you doc sleep is rough when stopping

I started smoking cigarettes at 14 years old, switched to nicotine vapes at 24, and quit nicotine cold turkey at 28. I also quit alcohol completely, despite being a severe alcoholic for about 4 years. I can’t kick weed. I just can’t do it. I live in a constant state of intense anxiety without it. At one point I even disassociated- super scary feeling. Usually when I start trying to quit, I will have an outburst of anger that causes me to lose my job- sometimes it happens while I’m trying to quit, and sometimes it happens after I start again after not noticing a change despite quitting for 3 weeks. With alcohol and nicotine I was able to tell myself that the worst of it would be over in 14 days, and it was- I can’t say the same for weed. I don’t know how long the race is.

Stop listening to dumb people who try to support the THC use. I'm 21 and I was smoking since 15, i missed so many opportunities until now, i fucked up my brain, I couldn't focus, think probably, do activities, i was depressed when i wasn't smoking, anxious, didn't have any courage to try anything, stopped working, started stealing and smoking 8*9 joints a day. Now i work, i got a new car, I'm better. I had the chance to experience the withdrawal and i got scared, Swating, stomach pain, mucus, bad sleep or no sleep, you can't really eat anymore, i lost weight... i never understand what caused my mood to be like that, i always acused my family for everything.

Hardest part about quitting weed for me is 2 things: Living with fellow smokers 2. Finding new things to do with my extra time. Currently trying to regain my motivation and aggressive drive that i've subdued (Life and family stuff) and the those are the parts i struggle honestly. I make mistakes a lot during my quitting but i keep trying. Those are the hurdles i want to overcome.

The nightmares when you quit are horrendous. I think that counts as a physical symptom. The sweating and nausea too.

Whenever I attempt to quit I get really sick for about 3 days or so. If I wait too long to smoke I get nauseous and vomit at times.

Hahahaa, bro you just simply stop. That’s it. You’ll be fine. It’s just weed.

started smoking 5 months ago daily. at first I started smoking only once in the morning, then I started smoking twice a day, then three times a day, etc. my lungs hurt now whenever I breathe deeply and the withdrawals are definitely PHYSICAL. I can’t eat because my appetite decreased. I can’t sleep because I start sweating profusely and I get cold. everything seems so bland and boring now and I mean everything. sitting down, watching videos, texting friends, etc. I DEFINITELY need weed to feel happy, or to have fun and everyday is hell for me right now. don’t start and if you just recently started I suggest you quit.

Stop telling people there aren't physical withdrawal symptoms!!! I cant eat, can't sleep, get headaches. Those are PHYSICAL.

My experience quitting weed/wax/edibles - insomnia (first two nights) - irritability (two weeks) - depression (two weeks) - fatigue (on and off during first month) - extremely vivid dreams/nightmares (one month)

I’m an absolute prick for 72 hours and then I begin to have the most vivid amazing dreams ever and chill out and by 1 week I’m over it

When life really sucks you will do anything to get away from the pain

I feel like shit when i don't smoke. Cant sleep and get restless hands and legs. Pretty uncomfortable

I’m on day 2-3. I have a loss of appetite, a very slight headache, I’m dreaming again and they’re crazy and vivid, feel a bit weak, anxious, sweats

I think it’s important to take tolerance breaks that could be up to 3 Months but not 100% quit weed for the rest of your life

Haven’t smoke for 5-6 months my sleep quality is better, my motivation to hit the gym is better, my ability to control my anxiety is better. I’m sure it’s the complete opposite for others. I just wish they would make good quality balanced product rather than having a main focus of trying to make the strongest strain. Then maybe it’d be a more enjoyable experience.

You have to ask snoop dogg that question

Emdr helps. I wish they would do more studies on this.

It absolutely does have physical withdrawal symptoms from chronic use

Lolllll holdddd up cause Going through these PHYSICAL along with the psychological symptoms of cold sweats, unexpected tremors, lack of sleep, no appetite, mood swings and dysphoria, I think it is very invalidating and frustrating when someone dictates it’s purely psychological. Everyone is different and it is amazing if your body does not go through such symptoms, I’m happy for you fr :) but with that said, it is not true for everyone. My personal experience, I feel miserable lol, I feel angry for no reason, I sweat and it’s so uncomfortable, I shake like I got the flu and yes cannabis can be amazing but I am learning that moderation really is key because the addiction can be so real. And mind you, there is still so much we do not know about the effects of cannabis due to it being so stigmatized, and being classified as a schedule one drug which makes research on it hard to accomplish. So although maybe for some there may not be withdrawal symptoms which is great, but for some people like me, I feel miserable and watching something like this telling me that it is purely psychological feels so invalidating because although there are psychological symptoms it’s not all there is lol trust me I feel it, I wish I could tell you that it is purely psychological but my body said nahhh😭 . So please regardless of ur experience don’t undermine the physical impacts and experience of cannabis withdrawal. Have empathy for people that are trying to acknowledge its effects and heal. It is real and if u are going through it, I believe in you, u are not alone, sending u lots of love and hugs, it’ll be worth it! Please take good care of urself and give yourself so so so much love because u deserve it and frankly u owe it to yourself! Good luck bestie! We’ll be feeling better and clear headed in no time, keep fighting the urges ❤️❤️💪😭 ps. I am not saying give it up completely lol but acknowledge that it does have effects that we can’t always control so moderation do be key😩

Those that say there isn’t haven’t taken enough. I use RSO AND HELL YA WITHDRAWALS ARE REAL

Exactly, it’s not addictive but for me depression comes back in a couple of weeks after

I’ve been heavy for 10+ years. Really heavy these past 3 years. Talking 3 maybe more backwoods a day. I use it to curve my GAD and I have to admit, it’s no longer helping. My last screening a year ago, the level was around 9 or 10, mild. I’ve been agoraphobic for quite a while. Smoking isn’t helping anymore and I honestly think it’s causing a heightened level of anxiety, which sucks lol. But the exercise, reading and learning to day trade have been a substitute. Nothing consistent, but I’m starting 🥲

I took benzos for 6 years every day and they were way easier to quit for me than smoking weed. The activity of smoking in itself is highly addicting and since I won’t smoke cigs anymore weed is hard to avoid but trying to quit.

Lmao when i quit i got a lot of physical symptoms, not benzo levels ofc but severe night sweats and intense digestive issues couples with overwhelming fatigue

I never had withdrawals but I think it’s cause I’m otherwise healthy ima personal trainer work full time and workout 6 days a week.. so I don’t have insomnia or hunger issues just the desire to smoke lol and this coming from a guy who smoked weed everyday for 10+ years. Moral of the story get in the gym or do something active as you quit

One of the substances he named that caused physical dependence is legal and encouraged to consume in some regions/ cultures...

I haven't smoked weed as much in 3 days and I haven't even been able to stand up because my back pain hurts again and it hasn't hurt it in two years. I would also like to quit smoking weed because every time I quit I look supermodel skinny slim. With Weed I'm thick with a flat stomach hour glass shaped😢 and ppl swear it's body goals. I am so befuddled help KZfaq friends and family

Not addicting but it still robbed me of the last 18 years of my life. Robbed me of relationships, friends, family, jobs, my military career, and countless opportunities. It pretends to be this helpful herb that doesn’t hurt you, but it makes you hurt yourself. I refuse to be an addict for one more day.. I refuse to give the dope man one more dirty dollar. I just refuse. I want my life back.

Starting tomorrow also resigned up for the gym gl me

I only take breaks when smoking weed because i have PTSD so i know i will just fall back on weed but the breaks help me to bring down my tolerance again

I also want you all to remember. If you sole my last comment, please eat very healthy. Eat vegetables, eat fruits, eat meats. Because it will definitely help with the cannabid system if you are stopping, we'd.

Physical withdrawals depend on how much weed you consume. If you have a joint occasionally then there won't be any withdrawal symptons. If you use weed a lot then stopping suddenly usually causes physical symptoms. I usually get insomnia, nausea, I sweat a lot and get headaches.

It does cause physical withdrawals..

Depends on the person I’ve stop a month now I’m 44 been smoking since a teenager just get outside exercise and reconnect with your life it’s that easy STOP just STOP it ain’t that hard

Weed gives me anxiety

It definitely causes physical withdrawal. Feeling colder or hotter than usual, sweating, increased appetite or lack of appetite and insomnia/harder to sleep and boredom/less joy. I’d say it’s just as bad as nicotine withdrawal except you get no cravings. People say it’s psychological but I say it’s the exact opposite.

Just switch to a strain that will give you anxiety and paranoia thats what happened to me, now Im afraid of buggin out😂

I smoked 15 years daily, quitted 10 years, back smoking daily for 3 years. Now i quitted 2days and my aggression goes to the roof......

For me its almost impossible if i dont smoke for 12 hours i have a crazy headache,stomache ache i feel like im dying when i dont smoke

I disagree. I quit alchol very easily yet stopping weed gives me pains, sweats and left feeling sick. If i wasnt so hooked in then i woukdnt be here. I dont have a psychological addiction. When i stop, i feel it and need it.

Marijuana definitely is a gateway to eventually using stronger drugs...watched my parents fall onto this evil trap...it was quite pathetic!!!🤯🤯🤯

I don't get insomnia from quitting. Weed because I use natural food remedies to help with withdrawal. If anyone didn't know that you should definitely do that, you should definitely eat healthy and don't eat junk food. While you're quitting cannabis cause it will make the symptoms a lot worse. I said this to support y'all going through drug withdrawals god bless you
