quitting weed

[Rekah]

right ive decided to knock it on the head for a bit, i thought id have more energy and that but i seem to be a lot more tired most the time, like at night normally i would be up for ages if i didnt have a spliff but now i just seem to fall asleep far too easy. what the fucks going on

Same thing happens to me. I can take T Breaks easily when I want to, but I almost feel like I generally function better with a little weed in my life. But breaks are good. If you decide you wanna start again just do what you want.

just try and limit the amount you smoke it, genrally i find it best to have it 1 or 2 times per week
no need to quit

dont worry i will be starting again im just stopping for a little while, then when i get back on it it should be like smoking again for the 1st time

good luck bro, ive tried many times. and failed each time.

[crackf]

yeah im gonna try limiting it to weekends and wednesdays, difficult though :/

[jameshk]

Just don't buy it, thats what helped me. Now im down to literally buying like an 8th a week, and I smoke mini-skins when i do choose to blaze up. Although I still feel alot more lazy and lathargic, funny how things work out eh.

Just to clarify im not asking on tips how to quit im asking why am i more tired when im not smoking it, i seem to have less motivation to do certain things and finding it harder to stay awake its like a reverse effect

[crackf]

well slow down with the grade but boost up the levels of crack in your system usually evens things out once you get the combination right?

i was awake for over 4 hours yesterday not bad atall

I am not a smoker but am around a great many, what you are going through is very interesting as it is an observation I have noticed with some friends of mine, they actually smoke a bit of weed to stay up. Definitely something to look into, I never thought of weed as a stimulant.

Any science buff shed some light on this?

Can supply a boring drawn out science answer later on if ya wanting it, gotta run for some job interview in 5 mins though. Lot o factors but a crude answer is to look into how cannabis works and what dopamine does - it's a chemical that essentially 'manifests' interest (hence the possible 'paranoia' when high - i.e. the smallest of noises can grab your attention then be interpretated way beyond what it actually is. Diminished levels of a chemical that does this naturally mean things like sleeping etc should be easy, thoguh the majority of people 'ironically' suffer withdrawal as they're not used to [sic] life being dull and unstimulating

Short answer - Good things are worth staying up for If there's a fitty in your bed you'll be sleeping later innit. If not get high til 6am. If not, fucking all there is in life is pot noodles and wanks with a 11pm bedtime

back when I quit, I had a period of being really short tempered and I couldn't sleep at night

I was fine after about 3 weeks

I had built a dependence to it and I believed that I needed it to relax

howlong u smoked weed for?? if its any time over 3-4 years you should have realised by now that when you smoke weed you STAY UP LONGER just to smoke weed... i used to do it all the time, id be up till 6-7 doin random shit or watchin things on the telly, holding out for that last bed zoot when you finally feel satisfied you've smoked enough weed to go to sleep.

then i stopped and i'd be at my mates and out like a light by 3-4 when they'd carry on till 7 laughing at me sleeping on the floor, not stoned.

you get used to it, its no biggie.

edit: jus read Blah's post. there we go!

THIS

I quit for about 5 weeks, pretty difficult when I'm constantly surrounded by it, my mum smokes, my big bro smokes, my step dad does now and again... Not an excuse, but smelling it once I quit got my heart beating like a motherfucker, sleepness nights... I think it would of been ALOT easier if you smoke cigs, but i was smoking about 3 joints a night, and I believe it's the baccy that's hard to come off...

And in response to the OP, you do feel abit lazy at first, and obv you agree with yourself sayin it's pointless stoppin if u feel shit, cos quitting not helping, but you gotta stick with it... I'm proud I went 5 weeks, was hard but only for the first 2 or 3, I was alot healthier aswell... Sorted my lift out abit better, time goes so fast when you're blazed all the time... even when your not blazin i mean, but once u stop, those 5 weeks felt like 5 months! I argued with someone tryin to say I'd quit for atleast 2 months, cos it felt so long but in actual fact it was just over a month...

[*grand*]

I went on a diet for about 6 weeks. It was torture, nothing sweet, no white flour products, low fat. I would crave things like a mother fucker, and get mad hunger pains even though i had eaten. Just really important to stick with it. It's all ways hard starving the body of something it becomes used to. Eventually however, things settle back down and you question why you wanted it in the first place.


Just trying to relate, never smoked in my life.... But fighting has me cutting weight every so often which means I gave to change my abuts just like a smoker who quits.
