I know that awareness feeling you speak of.
I love that feeling. 
I feel mentally adroit and quick/witty when not using weed.
Also, my memory gets 100x better when I'm not using weed.

First I wanna say thank you to everyone in this thread. After several years of smoking daily ive finally got to the point of quitting. It's been 10+ days and only getting easier as my neurochemicals rebalance themselves. This thread is especially helpful as every time I start contemplating smoking I come here and it reassures me that marijuana is addictive and there are negatives from abuse.

I'd like to offer what other things have helped. Anxiety, depression, and insomnia are common withdrawal symptoms. First insomnia. Marijuana causes an increase in melatonin so Im assuming in its absense theres some initial lower melatonin production. This is remedied by melatonin supplementation. Also the vividness of dreams is a nice reward. As for anxiety, meditation and cardio seem especially helpful. Both of which increase neurogenesis (as well as omega 3s) which helps the brain recover, lowers anxiety, and depression. Turmeric increase neurogenesis and serotonin, lowers inflammation (which maybe marijuana was doing) and its recommended to take black pepper to increase the bioavailablity. Black pepper as well as cocoa activate the endocannabinoid receptors which should help ease withdrawal. Cocoa also boosts neurogenesis.  Caffeine increases glutamate and dopamine similarly to cannabis as well as helping with the low motivation. Tea additionally offers theanine (increases neurogenesis) and Egcg which synergistically lower anxiety. Coffee is a mild maoi which increases serotonin and dopamine. N-acetylcysteine improves dopamine function, lowers inflammation, modulates glutamate, and breaks up mucus so coughing stuff out of the lungs is easier and since glutamate abnormality are linked to addictive behavior its been studied for marijuana addiction and was reported to show improvements also increasing neurogenesis.

It can be helpful to remind ourselves weed often creates a lot of anxiety, depression, and a reduction of sleep quality.

So often the negative effects are ignored . . .

Smoked MJ for a long time with a thousand reasons as to why...

My findings were that t keeps you in a place of safety; there's much more to discover outside of the haze... one thing that was common was telling myself to stop. Then smoking more because I was constantly thinking stop. It made me anxious. I smoked for the anxiety. It became paradoxical.

Main things that helped: Move away from social influence. You are your own castle and can choose who enters.

Focus on good nutrition and plenty of long walks/excerciae to get your Serotonin levels raised and your body tired.

Put a reminder on the door you always open to remind yourself why.

Eat! Talk! Take a hot bath! Listen to nice music. Candle light. Camping.

Maybe you might be sleepless a few nights. Stick with it. Don't sleep then? Go for a walk, distract yourself. There's a thousand ways to relax... why not spend twenty bucks on a massage? That thing you always wanted to buy but didn't cause it's in the blazing fund.


The most beautiful aspect is that you will sleep better after a week. You start to dream again. You get out of your own mind and discover yourself again. Hell it works for some people... just goes down to moderation. I couldn't moderate. I stopped.

My life improved significantly; with clarity and yours will too...

It's a few days of groggy. Tired. Stressed whatever you want to call it. Best thing I was taught. Do the oppposite. Shout? Talk. Get angry? Laugh.

You can do it: it gets easier with everyday. I swear to god you won't miss it for the positive aspects that start to occur.... you will get there. You will find yourself again. Happier, healthier and a hell of lot wealthier.

Lord knows the mountain can be hard to climb. But the view at the top is worth it.... the walk back down? Wonderful.

You got it brothers and sisters. All the best to you all.... the road was rocky. But it was worth it in the end... hell I don't know need to remind you... and seriously. I love dreaming again... the best sleep you can have? Sober.

You got this. Easy. Consider it done.

Side note: I did make a THC oil so I could go from grams to mg. Slow and steady wins the race... take it easy on yourself. Your alright mate.... Peace.

It's been 6 days now and 4 before that! daily use for about 3 years..

I have come to the realization that cannabis is not working for me at this point in my life.

definitely has impacted my mental and physical state, I got the idea in my head that it was only positive but that soon started floating away in the smoke.

for the last bit when I used it didnt even feel like I was getting "high" it would just put me in a weird daze..

so I am putting up the pipe and walking through the next door!

cannabis you have opened my eyes and heart but it's time to let myself grow!

:peace:

I rarely feel like toking or growing anymore.  Mostly wanting a small grow when bored, feeling stale.  I wonder how much I've matured not smoking.  Having had trauma issues that go far back, I recall how toking would 'help' when angry and confused.  Although I would re-enter that every time without weed.  It seems to pass easier now.  Not so emotionally dependent on cannabis for stability.

Joining the crew here. Looks like my everyday smoking has come to an end. Really started making me angry and jittery. I need better sleep also and the bills are never ending.

Great job man. Glad you're achieving your aspiration. Weed definitely changes sleep and my ability to dream. There's some small amount of evidence to suggest marijuana is detrimental to sleep if used before. Cheers.

1 hour 43 minutes and 17 seconds from last dose.

Withdraws are kicking in. Negative mood elevating. Heart rate rising. Eye pressure dangerous high.

I didn't realize how sleep-deprived I was (for many years) until I took long breaks from getting high.

I did not wake up well rested and refreshed when I smoked daily for most of 25 years.
Sleep deprivation (quality of sleep - not quantity) resulted in depression and anxiety.

BTW, Pete Davidson from SNL gets high all the time and claims he has "bipolar disorder".
Duh. Fucking stop smoking for 3 months and then see how you feel. I know people who take
meds for depression, anxiety, bipolar, etc who refuse to stop smoking or drinking alcohol.

Because some people have negative or harmful experiences with a substance
doesn't mean they are demonizing the drug and saying it's universally bad
and has no helpful pharmacological uses. Does a chronic heroin user care
what a wonderful drug opiates are? Opiates are a miracle for some, but so what?
