Dealing with withdrawls, and pain when out of mmj

You're not going through withdrawls... you're experiencing life as a sober person! You're not irritable or experiencing insomnia because your body is going through withdraws, thats just what happens when you're not sedated by a drug 24/7.

 

I've never had any 'withdrawals' form marijuana. I mean maybe a headache, but nothing that I would consider drug withdrawals

How far along are your plants? Colorado? Can you goto a dispensary or know a friend? Thought they had tons. I vacation there once in a while and have no problems finding herb

 

Watch someone go through heroin withdrawals and then talk about marijuana "withdrawals' . You guys are being a little mello dramatic its just weed.

 

Yea dude you have no idea, opiate withdrawals are terrible

 

Dude...I know what you're talking about. Some people are disagreeing with the fact that it's withdrawal, but whatever it is, it sucks.

I just went the past month without smoking to pass a drug test for school. It sucked, but it gets easier as time passes. Try to keep yourself occupied...I learned to crochet during my break. =)

The insomnia never completely goes away. A lot of people find themselves having really vivid dreams when they don't smoke. Try working out, or staying busy...make yourself tired.

It sucks, but you have to stay strong. You own the weed; it doesn't own you, and you do not need this plant to get through life...it just makes it way more enjoyable. And when you are finally able to smoke again, you'll get high as a motherfuckerrrr!!

 

depending on what stage your plants are in just choose a sacrifical plant and trim trim trim tester tester tester the shit outta it until it's dead you can always grow more but damn i need the weed now!~

i just ran out yesterday

 

alcohol. just went through 10 day tbreak which doesnt seem like much but after 3 years of smokin straight dank it was depressing. no 'withdrawls' except emotionally..basically just stay active and shit...what i did when i really wanted to smoke was make firecrackers and just save them...feel 'close' to the weed w/o smoking lol

 

Yeh dude I know how you feel smoking heavily then stopping.

I get cold chills/sweat, I wont eat shit food taste gross, I wont sleep for 3-5 days.


Most of the time its just the sleeping issue.

 

take some melatonin 30 minutes before you go to sleep for the first few days after taking a break. It'll help deal with the sleep issues. Also try eating some dark chocolate and excercising, as well as some echinacea or sleepy tea.

melatonin helps regulate your sleep cycles and when you smoke your melatonin levels increase by alot, something like 2500%. So, you can supplement with some melatonin pills in order to help your body adjust.

also, chocolate contains anandamide, an endocannabinoid similar to thc, and echinacea contains a cb2 agonist. In combination they should give you at least some level of relief.

and obviously the exercise should release some endorphins which will also help with mood, pain, and sleep.

if you really try and tackle the "withdrawals", you'll realize they're nothing at all.

 

If you really want to quell your pain, reduce your dosage.

Cannabis isn't a linear dosage pain reliever like opiates are. More does not always equal more.

Here is a study done at UC San Diego looking at pain relief with different doses. The results were surprising as consistently, the high doses gave increased pain, where the medium doses had good pain relief.

You have a sweet spot of dosage where pain relief works best. If you can reset your tolerance, this sweet spot is usually 1-3 puffs of a high potency (20% thc) med.

Experiment with smoking as little as possible, as soon as the analgesia kicks in, stop and don't re-dose for at least 90 minutes, which is adequate time for you to metabolize the THC.


Doing this will not only keep your tolerance low, you'll go through meds slower, and you will get greater pain relief.


I've watched several heavy pain smokers reduce their dosage, smoke less, and be in less pain following these guidelines.

 

If you're waiting on a harvest and it's almost done, just trim some popcorn off the bottom and quick dry it to get you through. Leave all the fat fat buds to ripen.
