4th day with no pot

[Cannabis Rehab Guest]

First of all i'll start out by saying that I am learning the hard way that all the stories about marijuana not being addictive are complete ****.

I smoked pot for the first time when I was 14 and didn't do it again till I was 15. After that I began smoking almost every day with only a few days off if I was out of town. When I was 18 I stopped for a month and had absolutely no problems. Then I went to college and lived in the dormitories. there seemed to be pot everywhere I turned and I stated smoking more and more. It never affected my schooling and it seemed to hone my math skills ( I'm a math major). Now I'm in my 3rd year of college and for the past few months I have been smoking more than I ever have. Then the other day there was no more pot to be found. I discovered that I no longer had an apatite when I wasn't high. That scared me! I had never seen any negative effects from pot before so I decided to give it up for good.

Now I am very glad I did because i feel like ****, and I never thought that it would effect me in this way. I have had no energy for the last 4 days. Going to class has been an almost imposable chore. I have been sleeping fine but I seem to dream about a different natural disaster every night. Like I said I have had no apatite and on the second two days I threw up anything I ate. (today I could hold down food I just wasn't hungry). In addition to all this I have been feeling hot and cold then hot and then cold and sweating through out it all.

My situation had me very very concerned before I found this forum. Reading all the other posts has made me feel a lot better. Knowing that although my cases seems a bit extreme i'm not the only one that has had to go through it.

I'm sure i will smoke pot again, but not in a very long time and theres no way that I would seek it out or try to buy any.

I just thought I would share my story because reading others' has helped me.

Hi mathman

Thanks for sharing your story it is truly appreciated. No you are not alone, so many people do experience quite significant effects when they give up pot, but we have all been so convinced, that nobody ever experiences any detox symptoms what so ever, that people are not really aware of the effects they may experience. I think a part of it may be down to the dramatic increase in strength and the fact that the reputation of this new high strength stuff has not had a chance to catch up with it yet, it’s a totally different drug to what it used to be.

Once again thanks for sharing and take care.
