Well, my wife and I got hit by one of the things I knew about cannabis but forgot to be looking out for because it wasn't in the clinical research paper I've been using to predict detox symptoms.
Cannabis helps many people with PTSD, and when I first heard about that several years ago, it explained one of the uncomfortable things I felt as a pothead. I was often bothered by my mind dredging up every stupid, humiliating thing I had ever done and throwing it in my face. I finally figured out that this was happening when I was coming down from my high. The solution to the problem was to stay stoned all the time -- great plan, right?
Anyhow, we've both been bothered by repressed unpleasant memories as we have detoxed, and it wasn't until today that I finally made the connection.
Now that we're in our right mind we know the solution is to confront these negative thoughts instead of masking them with weed, and if necessary, get some professional help coping with them.
I've always heard that "There are no detox symptoms getting off of marijuana like you have with other drugs like heroin or alcohol".
Well, the symptoms may not be physical, but they sure as hell are there ......
