Gotta do without for awhile

    Hi all, new poster here. I’ve been using weed to medicate my insomnia for a couple years now, usually just a joint of Skywalker an hour before bed, at least six days a week. I’m traveling out of the country for a couple months and plan to do without medication for the duration. I have a background in psychology, been reading lots of research about marijuana withdrawal syndrome. Based on the research it looks like I’m in for a couple weeks of (and I quote) irritability, anxiety, decreased appetite, restlessness, and sleep difficulties (ugh), but after that I should be out of the woods. Have you been in situations like this before, like having to go without medication for an extended period of time? What happened? How long did the withdrawal last, if it happened at all? Thanks in advance!

    Didn't have much of a withdrawal last time I quit, some 20 years ago. I was grumpy for a couple days and not much else!

    You need to exercise, eat healthy food and keep busy!

    I quit 2 wks. ago. I also use for insomnia. I had no issues at all except the insomnia returned. You take the meds for sleep, take away the meds and the issue returns. :) I agree with Storm Crow, lots of outdoor activities, if you can and eat as healthy as is possible. :)

    if your traveling out of the country...
    YOUR going to be wore out tired already...
    ders a lot of running around involved in an escapade like your taking on.
    there is ZERO withdrall symptoms.
    Thats part of what makes cannabis such an amazing plant.
    and if worst comes to worst..
    walk by a bar an smell around ouside... YOU will find it.

    Over the last year I gradually ramped up on my edible hash-coconut capsules until I was at 1000mg a day to keep my little medical issue under control.

    Facing an upcoming road trip I knew I'd be without meds for a week or more so I stopped dosing. Just stopped cold to see how long I could go without Mr. Pain crawling back out of the woodwork. Took him about 2 weeks but in the meantime I had ZERO withdrawals from stopping my massive daily dosing.

    It really has NO physical symptoms from stopping even HUGE daily doses.

    I need such advice too, but it seem that an advice from a medical practitioner would be more valuable; though experience counts
