Slight withdrawal symptoms?

    Hey what's up guys..I just started engaging in smoking weed this year, specifically in May. My routine began smoking only once a week and lasted for a decent amount of time. However, as summer progressed, I started going hard as f - especially mid July to now. Since July, I've smoked roughly 5 times a week, all Loud, no mids and even smoked multiple times during those days. Here and there i would take a few days off, but would repeat the whole process. Recently, i've started taking daily breaks to refresh my mind & balance myself more. On days where I have taken off, I have noticed a few things. First off, the following days after I smoke, i can readily notice decreased cognitive performances such as any generic mental task you can think of. My vocabulary is narrowed and I struggle to remain attentive while performing tedious tasks. In addition, especially tonight, I have also noticed slight feelings of depression. Tonight while playing xbox, i randomly started feeling down & sad...yes there are a few problems in my life but these problems suddenly have been escalated. I didn't smoke at all today and I am wondering why marijuana could cause this because it is a mental addiction as opposed to a physical addiction. Thus, i am confused why i am feeling these effects. I am also extremely restless right now & I strongly desire some good ass Loud..but i'm striving not to become a chronic smoker..i only wish to use it sparingly. What should i do?

    Well at the rate you smoke, id say you are almost a chronic smoker. If you want to feel normal when you dont smoke then limit it to the weekends. As for your problems right now, it will all go away within 3 days of not smoking. Whenever i take a break, the first three days suck and then i feel great.

    but dude i just started smoking a lot towards the end of July, and I just started smoking weed in May..so I mean.. my experience is limited although the rate has been pretty damn high.. I still get ripped & exercising every single day has prevented any tolerance issues ..so i gotta be pleased with that at least

    Yes there are withdrawal symptoms for some people, I guess everyone reacts differently to weed. It's all listed on Erowid. Unfortunately, like you i also experienced those symptoms, and they usually pass in about 3-4 days. If you want to speed up the process go sweat yourself for a day or two and you'll squeeze out the thc from your body a bit quicker. It was easier to quit cigarettes than sober up from heavy toking.

    Start taking an Omega-3 daily. It will help, also I suggest L-Theanine it occurs naturally in green tea and is sold in capsules at places such as GNC... I actually have a list I would suggest that I used for anxiety.. Anxiety is closely linked with depression so maybe my regime may be beneficial to you? If anyone is interested feel free to PM me.

    Edit: As far as addiction mental+physical addiction is possible, withdrawals however for physical addiction would be things like insomnia and a profound lack of appetite.

    I get grumpy if I smoked a TON the night before until I smoke, or if I don't smoke until the next day, but that's about it...

    When I'm quitting I have trouble sleeping and eating for a few days, but again that's it.
