latley my gf has been smoking weed a LOT. and latley she has had terrible mood swings when she is coming off/not on weed. i can usually tell if she has been smoking and she will be perfectly happy when she is high then get slowly more testy and ill then later will be perfectly fine. i can tell when she is not on it because she is just more "*sigh* sure, ok whatever" if you know what i mean.
i never had a problem with her smoking. i dont smoke *any more* just because i didnt like the way it dose me. hell im pro pot. i just dont smoke it. iv always said that the only two things i would never stand for is cheating and choosing a drug over me. but i mean its ONLY POT!
im not really looking for relationship advice as much as to see weather this is normal if you are a heavy pot smoker but you can put your two cents in there if you like.
been together 5 years now.
just seems like she can go through pms x10 within 6 hours lately and the only factor i see is the pot.

Oh yeah, depending on how long it has been since you last smoked..and how often you smoke in general..you can have some crazy mood swings when sober
I can only imagine how much worse it can be for a lot of women lol

Certainly; I loathe when people say that weed isn't 'addictive'; Like yes, it's not heroin, but it's certainly habit forming to the point of dependency.
Is it really any of our faults though? We spend a lifetime of listening to pro-marijuana propaganda (Bob Marley, Sizzla Kalonji, etc.), smoking it at social occassions, using it as the social glue, the activity, to the point where not smoking means missing out on friends, events, etc. Not to mention it feels good.
But it's certainly addictive, yes.

stop smoking weed:
urge to smoke next day, head feels heavy/foggy/cant think straight, cant do anything normally
few days/1 week later start to feel better
I like being in control of my own thoughts so I dont smoke, but I think it should be legal to smoke brains out everyday ;P
when I smoked everyday it would interfere with everything I did play guitar, need a joint take a shit, need a joint walk in nature, need a joint wake up in the morning feeling shitty?, need a joint go to work/school? need a joint
etc.
not good really, it is very hard to moderate if done everyday
feel much better without it, my head feels much better, no heaviness/fog anymore but it took many months for my head to feel normal
it changed my thoughts to weird thoughts for several months after stopping, after just smoking heavily one night would always laugh at weird times etc , I like controlling my own thoughts better

Yeah alcohol tends to be far more physically addictive than weed. Weed is really more psychologically addictive, any thing can be..drug or not

Weed effects everyone differently. Also I have found that different strains will effect me differently too.
She sounds like she shouldn't be smoking that much, if it makes her irritable when she comes off of it.
I used to do the same thing, but I found that instead of trying to be happy BY smoking weed, it only makes me sad when I'm not high.
Find some fun activities you can do together and find ways for her to be happy with her life without weed. I was depressed for a long time but now that I have worked on it, and become a more positive person, I am able to enjoy weed much more than I ever did. Especially on the come down. I just don't feel all pissy when I come down anymore, I'm just glad to be alive and to experience consciousness, which makes me feel very blessed.

Weed can make people emotional, and focused. I do know what you're talking about but you're missing the picture because you're being selfish. You don't want to analyze yourself and I can feel that in your words.
She's unhappy. There's something wrong in your relationship. Talk about it, fix it, or don't. It's you're choice but after 5 years I refuse to believe you should need to talk about it to know. She's a woman, small things can create big problems. Love 'em or don't, bitches are crazy. My 2 cents.

Yeah, I'm addicted. But compared to other things it's a pretty minor addiction. You would miss your iphone a million times more than I miss weed.
When I run out or quit for whatever reason, I get grumpy for about a week. My appetite goes down and I have some trouble sleeping. My dreams get incredibly vivid. After a week or ten days, all the bad feelings have faded but the dreams keep going. At that point I'm fine, unless my wife blurts out "I wish we had some pot" and then I'm all annoyed. I have to tell her - don't bring it up!

Changes in/Certain brands of birth control also create extreme mood swings in some women.
If that's applicable at all.

No offense, but it sounds like it has more to do with your relationship with each other, than the weed.

This kinda happens to me. I'm a longterm weed smoker and if i'm without it for a few days I go kinda quiet sometimes. I guess my moods shifting and rather than upset anyone i just go quiet at points. Annoys my gf that my mood shifts too (she's one to talk though)
I'd suggest you approach it carefully. If she is suffering cravings and her moods going south be careful not to aggravate it. If she's being quiet, maybe she just wants to be alone with her thoughts for a bit. For me, i tend to withdraw even more if my gf pokes more whilst i'm not in the mood. I'm never angry more, "meh, i just wanna veg out and do nutin at all"
You could try to raise it when she does have a smoke and is more open to discussion. If you can make her more self aware of her mood swings she may be able to control/ reduce them a bit.
Be careful not to make it sound like u want her to stop either, she'll get defensive and the convo will close. Maybe even open with im happy for you to smoke weed but have you noticed any change when you cant get any? make it clear that it's just her frame of mind when shes craving that is the issue, not the weed smoking necessarily.
TL:DR Yes, mood swings with weed withdrawal is not uncommon, in women i daresay it's compounded by the added hormone factor. A very gentle approach may make her see the impact on you.

If I was to stop smoking right now based off the last time I stopped this is probably what would happen to me..
Lack of appetite for 3-4 days Unable to sleep well EXTREME irritability Sweaty palms Night sweats Hot flashes

I don't get any irritability when I can't smoke, I'm a daily toker but when I do take breaks it is always refreshing and nice.

I feel fine when I stop smoking weed after smoking it a while. Weed isn't heroin or nicotine or pain pills
