Making it thru withdrawal

[nephilthim]

I think this is so fucked up my bro comes over sees my bong.....he has wife kids,in the inlaws back house....so he doesn't smoke because of drug tests etc trying like everyone else to find employment.
so I always ask him if he would like a hit not knowing if he can or not since I don't ask,but wait for him to talk..so he declines my offer.i dont press or force him,but tell him I understand.
then he looks at me and says "you know I have dreams about having bonghits"well I can think of other things that would give me night terrors,but that one would definitely make my pulse pound.
sucks to be dreaming of your subconscious desire,much like a dream about a
beautiful woman,money only to wake..........................................up
and realise

Been on the weed wagon since January '09...due to a situation beyond my control. Got the lights, got the seeds, got the knowledge.

I miss MaryJane now; more than I did in January....

That sux Wiz. I get what you're feeling.
Day one: I am so clogged with resin that my body is using up it THC fat reserves. Very sleepy. A tad lethargic. I need my regular heart meds maybe that'll help. Must fast, I need this fast.

 

[Kizzattack]

Did you ever suck dk for weed man!!!!!

Yes.

Seriously though, the only withdrawals I get from weed is boredom. Weed makes being bored fun, which can be both a good and bad thing. When I'm not stoned and there's nothing else to do, I feel bored and get a bit annoyed and frustrated with being bored. I just end up reading or find something else to do eventually, but that's the only effect I get from not smoking.

 

[biggertom]

Oh fuck it! My little stoney buddy is here and we want to get high. Fuck Finals--smoke weed.

 

[biggertom]

What'd I make it 12 hours? How sad.

 

[moses224]

Dude MJ wd? serious just thank god it isnt narcotic pain killer or benzo at high dose....

 

[Sir_Nugget]

So it seems to me like the first 12 hours of withdrawal r the hardest, and then it kinda tapers off from there... I was once an extremely fit person, low body fat and high muscle for a teenager.. Ive lost a lot of that, and now I think the time is coming, for a shift back to the more "sporty" me.. being stoned from awakening to sleep time is not the way to be folks (unless ur rly use MJ as medicine).. I think my friends have even noticed me to become slower...

Thing is.. I have my med card, but I smoke recreationally.. I dont use weed as medicine I use it to be cool and have fun.. I think with all these meds, Ive just been put up top on the high tree...

Ive always told myself that having a girl would make slowing down a lot easier but i cant find 1, and im just having a hard time slowing down.. Im not trying to quit.. Just smoke less often.. I love the dispensaries, but the weed is just sso uneconomical for the average person.. which i pretty much am

to be kewl? really? wow

What a funny thread. The OP is about 10% brains and 90% ego but, you have to admit, he provided some pretty good fodder for humorous comebacks. But then, a budding narcissist coming to grips with the real world usually is good for a laugh or two.

Like a number of people said, try taking Vicoden for a few years and then quitting. I think the worst part was the sleepless nights when it feels like something is crawling under your skin ...equaled in fun only by the ensuing days when you try to get by on two or three hours of restless sleep. Now those are some "manly" withdrawals. LOL

[biggertom]

Well, at least you didn't suck a dick.....or did you?


Hey sorry, I can't get over that one joke someone said in here.

Nope. Just smoked a fat hootie! ...or two-ie, or three-ie, oh shit I just lit four-ie!
FUCK FINALS!!
Who gives a crap about all those one to many relationships, quieries and forms. Fuck Finals!

Until tomorrow, when reality sets in.

 

[jwm]

Well the up side is it's not physically addicting...Grow some will power instead of herb. Maybe try putting your spare time into something your interested in. For me, it's so much better when I don't puff everyday.

Here's an idea, i have not tried this but Yucca has always had a lot of detoxifying properties. The following is from this website but they always have given me great info. Once again not my words below just from this site.

http://www.tandjenterprises.com/stopsmoking.htm

How it works: This is what makes stopping the use of tobacco so difficult: When you use tobacco, toxins build up in your body. If you try to quit, then you suffer withdraw cravings because your body needs to have more tobacco toxins taken in to maintain your current addiction level. As you know, those cravings are very difficult to overcome and are the main reason why stopping the use of tobacco can be very difficult.

When you drink Yucca Schidigera Liquid Extract diluted in water your body will be detoxified. When the tobacco toxin levels drop significantly you can stop using tobacco and experience little to no withdraw cravings. For many people, this detoxification takes about 20 days. One indicator at that time is your perspiration no longer has an odor attributed to the toxins in tobacco and you can simply stop using tobacco. You will still have to deal with certain habits and psychological issues, but they are much easier to handle when you are not being nagged by the withdraw cravings.

As you continue to take Yucca Schidigera Liquid Extract diluted into water, additional detoxification takes place and you reach a point where tobacco smoke becomes offensive to you and you are not likely to resume your tobacco use.

*

Use Yucca Schidigera Liquid Extract (1-2 tsp in a quart of water per day) see recipes below.
*

Removes toxins (including tobacco toxins) from your body while you are smoking.
*

Stop smoking when your perspiration odor (due to smoking) goes away (about 20 days).
*

Don't be a Grouchy Bear! There are no withdrawal symptoms when you stop smoking after taking Yucca.
*

Continue taking Yucca Schidigera Liquid Extract after you stop smoking for further detoxification so you will not resume smoking.
*

There are many other benefits to taking Yucca Schidigera Liquid Extract.

YUCCA & STOP SMOKING
A customers personal account by Larry Giannou
© Copyright 2004 by T & J Enterprises. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
At 52 years of age after 25 plus years of smoking a pack a day or more, I quit cold turkey on February 1, 2003. I discovered that what I was taking to help an unrelated problem was also working to overcome the problems of quitting smoking.

It was producing effects conducive to quitting before I realized they were happening and why. Even though I did not intend to quit, the impact these effects were having on my system ultimately made quitting easier, as well as sticking to it. This is a chronicling of the process of that experience.

I was a long term heavy smoker; constant cough, getting sick for one or two week periods over the winter, increasingly short of breath, skin would reek in the sun or when exercising due to "smokers sweat", etc. My health was getting worse by the year. However, few smokers make their decision to quit by explicitly concluding “hey, this is bad for me I should quit!”

In past attempts quitting normally took a prompting of some kind to make the decision, and then the battle began. This time the battle was surprisingly short, mostly fought and over with behind the scenes "before I made the decision".

In early January 2003, I got sick for the second time that winter. It started as a head cold, moving into the chest. Daily, it progressed into what was likely bronchitis - been there, done that through the years and I knew the symptoms.

As I got sicker and my lungs became more congested it became more painful to "take a puff". The more I kept taking puffs, the worse I felt; even a few per day aggravated my lungs big time, making me feel like I was suffocating.

I reached the point where the discomfort of the puffs was greater than the known discomfort of not smoking a few days to a week would be to help clear up the lungs! Fully intending to start up again after my lungs cleared, I stopped. I put my last pack of smokes and lighter on top my microwave, along with the ashtray that held the butt of my last smoke.

I got sick like this many times through the years, and had no reason to think this time would be any different. The withdrawals were always miserable and I would "test puff" daily to see if my lungs still hurt. When that stopped, I started smoking again, even if not fully recovered.

Day three. I realized I was not climbing the walls, nor "test puffing" to see if my lungs still burned. Other than that, everything "seemed" more or less normal and my lungs were starting to clear. I decided to go a few more days.

Day seven. Lungs are much improved and clearing, coughing a little still from the cold. A week had past without one test puff or lighting a cig to burn in the ashtray for the secondhand smoke! Normally I would be smoking by now. I did not feel stressed about it, after all I was "not quitting" just trying to give my lungs a break. Still it struck me as odd I was not climbing the walls struggling with cravings or withdrawals, or fighting with all the "occasions and reasons”, I smoked! They were there, but distant and subdued. I decided to let it go a few more days, but it was becoming clear to me what was happening and why.

I wanted to smoke, but my "body craving compulsions and drives" to light up where noticeably and significantly reducing, like something was turning them off or dampening them. I was experiencing a strange disconnect between the psychological callings still there and the dampening effects on my physical cravings. I found myself in the odd place of repeatedly confronting "some situation or favorite occasion that use to make me strongly crave and light up", only to find the cravings greatly reduced! I was feeling in control of it, instead of controlled by it. This was something new!

With each passing day, I felt more in control and able to ignore my psychological callings because of reduced body cravings, withdrawals, and a much calmer system. Exactly what I always had trouble with in past. The more I realized I was regaining control, the more I choose to move towards it instead of back to smoking.

About 6 months before this I started taking 2 teaspoons per day Yucca Schidigera extract for a bad back I have had for years. (Multiple low back bulging disks, low back pain and in the legs). Yuccas' anti-inflammatory and cartridge regenerative properties were working exceptionally well at reducing my "back-going-out-episodes" from 3 to 5 per year, to just once in two years. My low back pain has reduced to where I stopped taking Ibuprofen and Advil type pain pills for it. Yuccas natural anti-inflammatory properties were working better than those pills, without their side effects from continuous use. However, Yucca has many other beneficial properties.

I was taking it for my back but also clearly benefiting from its ability to detoxify my body and calm and sooth my system, dampening my body cravings for those poisons. Unlike patches and gums that put toxins back into you then "step you down" in stages (a euphemism that the body needs to be detoxified). Yucca Schidigera was continuously removing toxins from my body and calming my system "well before" I had actually stopped smoking. Moreover, once I stopped that process became even more noticeable.

Before I got sick, I was smoking under a pack a day. Normally I was fighting to stay under 2 packs! The smoker's perspiration odor had also significantly reduced. Normally when exercising the smell would be awful - now barely detectable. These were clear indicators of what was happening, and at a certain point, my body made me aware of them, as “it” tried to move me towards quitting.

Day ten. I have gone this long I may as well let it ride and see if this really works; that was my decision to quit.

Day 14. By now I knew this was working and I was not only going to be smoke free but was! I was feeling much better, had more energy, and was seeing 14 days of pack-a-day money in my pocket for a change. I felt like all the various struggle point aspects of stopping smoking were like a rapidly dimming light bulb, and I was in control of the dimmer. I was also not on any phony time schedule pressure to be smoke free. Every ones body is different. For me it was more an issue of detoxification and calming the system. From first taking Yucca to this point was about 6 months. From last cig to here: 14 days! Listen to your body; it is your guide, not the calendar.

It was months before the smoker's cough ended, and smells and tastes returned I had not noticed in years. The longer I took Yucca the less appealing was the smell of smoke, one of the reasons I smoked. Now a good whiff makes me feel crappy. I have zero desire to smoke and no conflict over not lighting up.

I still had to "make the decision to quit" and do what is necessary to follow through. However, compared to other times I quit or tried this was significantly easier. I was not exactly sweating bullets over it.

I still had to address the physiological aspects associated with why I smoked. Smoking twenty-five years can deeply ingrain them. Even so, without my high body toxin levels fighting against my every effort, and a much calmer system I was surprised at how much easier my reasons, excuses and rationalized crutches were to deal with. I was in control of making the decisions, not the poisons from my smoking or my body's' desire for them. Yucca helped me regain control of my body, making quitting easier. It was the only variable here, the only thing that was different.

I still had to deal with exposure to others close to me who smoked. However, I am not the one smoking, they are. It is not my problem. All I can do is make them a gift of Yucca Schidigera and hope they use it.

Even with these issues, quitting smoking this time in comparison was straightforward, easier, decisive and final. Yucca may be one of the least know methods of quitting, but my experience has convinced me it is one of the most highly effective.

Cleaning one day I picked up those smokes that sat on the microwave for 6 months and tossed them into the garbage without a second thought. A test of will I had no trouble winning. That tells me Yucca Schidigera extract not only helped me quit, but to stay a non-smoker. It is now a non-issue.

I took between one to two teaspoons Yucca per day total. (Two worked best for me because of my back). At one teaspoon per day consumption, a quart will last about 6 months. Take at meals and through the day adding 5 to 10 drops per 8oz of liquid every time you drink liquids. I think it is important to keep it entering your system through out the day. Take daily for one to three months before you stop smoking, through the period you are actively stopping, and after since there are a great many health benefits to long term use of Yucca Schidigera extract

Hello everyone, I'm starting this thread for those of us that are going thru serious withdrawal, whether because we just don't have any smoke, or because were simply changing our habit, I think that this is an important subject.

I am currently going through withdrawal... When I was 18 I got put in a national coca-cola commercial and made $75k in a two-week shoot... With the money I rented a townhouse in a nice area of los angeles and set up a couple 400 watts, and a 1000 watt in my upstairs. I stayed in LA because of my sick mom...

Within two years all my piggy bank was dried up, due to my expensive weed buying habits. I would smoke a quarter of the most expensive shit every couple days... I am 22 now, and I have been smokign everyday since I was about 17...

just yesterday... I ran out of weed / money... I can really only afford to buy small amounts, and not that often...

I dont believe that weed should cost as much as it does.. and I will never again spend more than ten dollars on a sack... And I will make that sack last me a long long time...

I have not smoked yet today, and I have developed a way to help myself thru this time. I walked to the beach, and layed down for 3 hours watching the horizon, the sand and seashells... What was important was that I got myself out of my room (smoke den) and into the world, were my mind could try to focus on the world again, and not pot addiction..

Pot addiction is a powerful thing... The only thing bad about weed is that I dont have enuff of it, other than that the effects are pure bliss...

My heavy spending days are over... its so stupid to spend cash on weed, somthing that can grow from low quality soil and shit...

Anyway, after several years of growing I have become a decent cultivator, with many harvests under my belt... I am ready to become totally self "weed" sufficient. (Thx to icmag and OG!)

I hope good things happen to those of us that are trying to benignly adjust our selves, and our situations.. Let peace of mind be with you, and me...
Take yourself to a place of peace, for as long as you can, and in the end.. When we look back after we have stopped smoking so much weed.. we will see that we have performed a righteous act, with courage, and grace...

ganja is too beautiful to struggle with her... We must be with her!! But in peace!


Sir_Nugget

Are you serious man?

Try literally feeling uncomfortable in your own skin, cold sweats, constant temperature changes, random pains (like having a butter knife stabbed into the spot on top of your foot where it connects to your leg), insomnia, being unable to eat, vomiting, dry-heaving etc etc etc

That's withdrawal. That is just Hydrocodone withdrawal. Benzodiazipines, heroin, oxycontin etc are notably much worse in probably every way imaginable than hydrocodone.

You do not withdrawal from weed. You may be a patient who relies on marijuana in some form to "band aid" your illness or so you can eat, take medications etc, and it could be completely different. You wouldn't withdrawal from marijuana, but i'm sure there is a high probability you can W/D from whatever medication you aren't able to take because you have no pot, and you can certainly starve to death.

You however, are just smoking bud.

Please take into consideration how insensitive and generally just silly it is to piss and moan about "withdrawing" from pot. If nothing else, you're just hurting the cause.

 

[gtbuds2332]

it does suck when you run out of weed, you just have to get past it mentally,
but i wouldn't go as far to call it a withdrawal... i agree with these other
folks, a real withdrawal is when you literally can't function physically

thanks god for all us stoners if we stop smoking weed it doesn't do anything
near what things like alcohol and heroin can do

 

[BoB91]

YOu are in....

YOu are in....

withdrawl if you have to smoke brick weed when you run out of dank bud!

 

[lordbudly]

withdrawl if you have to smoke brick weed when you run out of dank bud!

dare i say, as posted earlier, brick is the dick you suck for weed?

 

[baet]

this thread is slightly rediculous. actually, its rediculous. no offense sir nugget, its fun to create threads.
but yeah, another opinion from a person who has struggled through mild-moderate opiate withdrawals from daily use of norco for only two months, is that there is no weed "withdrawal", just discomfort.
MJ- MILD boredom, MILD lack of appetite, some experience insomnia, irritation fersure, dreams (wow this is fun), and energy, wow energy, thats actually a plus too woops. i smoked regurlary for years started at 14, and i would quit for a week everyonce inawhile, and i would be like "wow this is fucking great!" energy, sex drive, social connection with peers. but then my friends would be smokign and id get superr high, and be like cool.
but i dont like to bash. so sir nugget, good luck to you sir.
