How long does it take for withdrawal symptoms to go away?
I smoke, what I would say to be, a lot of weed. About 3 blunts a day (1.5 grams per blunt) Today is day 1 of no more marijuana. But I feel HORRIBLY depressed, frustrated, and intolerably bored. Suffering from insomnia, food taste like sh*t now and I am having a very difficult time being optimistic.
I quit because I think the psychoactive properties in the weed is screwing with my head. I feel really paranoid about everything. I draw the craziest conclusions out of nothing. idk…
My friend said not to quit, for it will make things worse. (he explained to me moderation is the way to go..but to be honest I feel weed is the root of my problems..seeing as all my main problems started around the time i picked up weed as a habit)
Or maybe I have some kind of disorder and weed is amplifying it. idk..but i just want to be happy again =[ and btw when im high my social skills are pathetic. and now they seem to be bad when im sober.
I hope this blows away in a week and im back to normal!

Withdrawals can be very painful. Opiate withdrawals are the worst, but any kind can be uncomfortable. It takes such a long time because your system needs to return to a level that it was before your addiction. You body built up a tolerance and dependence to the drug and now, you need you body need to normalize. It will take a few days but will resolve on it’s own.
It takes several days to detox and depends on the person. During
this time you have symptoms opposite of when you were high.
For instance, you used to want to eat a lot when high. During
detox you have no appetite. You used to sleep well when high.
During detox you have anxiety and sleep disorders. The paranoia
during a high will not go away with detox.
You might want to get professional help in a rehab. They will
detox you and check you to make sure you are ok during that
time and give you a month away from any temptations to try
marijauna again. They will promote exercise and sauna because
they both increase getting the toxins out of your body.
I applaud you for doing this. Anybody who wants to go through
detox to get off an addictive drug is very strong. But don’t feel
bad if you need professional help to do it.
I have linked to a site that discusses detoxing from marijauna.
I will be praying for you.

There is no physical pain of quitting weed. There’s only the mental state in which your mind wants to smoke. It’s easy to quit. It won’t be hard unless your mental state takes over.
