Day 5 without smoking weed

yo i wanted to ask a weed head something but dont know any.

i have severe anxiety. like to the point were i cant talk on the phone without me sweating and my body getting the shakes. I need something that can calm me down but dont want to take pills. Does this shit help with it? i rather smoke pot or get edibles then take an ssrs or whatever shit they prescribe now a days

Try taking some melatonin to help you sleep at night. But don't take it during the day because melatonin is released for your Circadian Rhythm and not just make you tired. So you'll just fuck your sleep schedule if you take it during the day to sleep. Make sure you're also not Vitamin D deficient because a D deficiency is also correlated with increased lethargy, tiredness, depression, etc.

Wait until you're over 18 years old and see if you feel the same way.

It helps for some people, but if you're naturally kind of paranoid and/or have schizoid tendencies it also has a chance of making them worse.

If you can get it legally where you live, you might consider weed that's high in CBD and low in THC. CBD kills anxiety and helps with physical pain and stuff, while THC is the stuff that actually gets you high. Most weed these days has way too much THC in it and it can send you off the deep end if you're not the kind of person who can handle it.

When i smoked daily in highschool, i only had problems after the 2 months and 20 days mark.
Now i cant do it for a week or so

yeah weed helped me with anxiety, couldn't talk to the subway girl (but in some cases its going to make you more anxious, depends on strain and shit) in my country we only have brick weed but since pot culture is so common for young people here. It was great at first, helped me making friends, massive social gains over the time, helped me knowing people at my small town then at uni, helped me leaving my home, going to cool places, hikes and shit

Then idk man if it was tolerance or some shit but weed started making me see some truths that couldn't be unseen it's rather creepy kinda an acid feeling/vibes in social settings not anxiety just seeing how shitty people are actually by their behavior idk if its overanalyzation or some shit. I realized that my friends weren't really my friends noir most of these social interactions, i actually realized that normies are VERY VERY egoistic and go for their own interests while faking not doing so.
Weed now gives me anxiety(not only because of above reasons) and essentialy makes my mind over active while only saying shit, my adhd is massive now and basically it fucked me over but you see, its very hard to quit it

if you're bugging out this much after just 5 days of not smoking weed, then you never need to smoke it again.

you have already proven that you're too much of an immature bitch to handle it. also, this has nothing to do with fitness and you're little "hurr hurr i mentioned something ABOUT fitness" isn't cutting it, retard. fuck off.

actually i really wanted advice on the APT but i am also in a anxiety crisis so yeah

Yes, many people develop a mental addiction to weed.

there a difference between addictions and habits

You're pretty much screwed living with other people who smoke. Going to take some SERIOUS self control not to give in when it's that easy to smoke. Just go 2 weeks, you'll start dreaming again and the fog will lift from everyday life and you may think living sober is better might not. I'm currently living by myself trying not to smoke for all of 2017 and see how life is after 6 months. I've smoked like 6 times so far but keep going on.

i have all the problems your saying and im sober. I'm in my late 20's and need to have a life. I have no friends what so ever. Only outside contact i get is going to the gym and running my dog. If it helped you with your social life then im just gunna start smoking. and see what happens

I used to smoke heroin everyday and quitted that, afterwards I also quit smoking weed. Man you're just thinking to much into it, do shit to keep your mind off things. Certainly dont stay in the house where there is weed instantly at your disposal. The mental/physical withdrawal symptoms are also all in your head, they're not real, you dont have those when quitting weed. Even that is enough reason to make you quit. Think about it you get so psychologicaly dependant on it that your brain makes up fysiological changes just to ratiknalize using a drug that doesn't even cause the symptoms. Weed is fucking stronger than people give it credit for.

Give it a month or two, gotta change those habits.

By that time you'll be feeling good like you're high all the time and you'll actually have an attention span.

>By that time you'll be feeling good like you're high all the time and you'll actually have an attention span.
So this feeling of wanting to quit uni because i feel like i'm not good for it or not learning shit even when i take ritaline and coffe and just study for 11 hours is just the abstinence?
What to do when everyone i know smokes weed and i live with people that also smoke?
Also how come they can actually do shit and productive while high and i can't? I am smarter than then desu but they are just so productive

Stay friends with them but also get new friends and explore hobbies and interests off yours. Do things again you used to like to do ans go to new places to meet new people that dont smoke. Trust me all normal pothead reach a plateau soon and won't become better, more productive persons u till they quit weed, no exception. If you smoke weed you'll get stuck in your life way to soon.
As to why you are less productive than your mates who smoke I can give 2 explanations. 1 is your personality. You probably have more tendency to think inwards and be on yourself more than others, you said you have anxiety so I know you overthink shit all the time. You said you are smarter so you will analyze everything faster than your peers do which makes activities more enjoyable for them, the learning experience is slower than yours and everything seems more "new" to them than you. The problem is weed makes makes you more inward,introvert and awkward. If you already have those qualities they will be enlarged.
2nd explanation is that you are one of the unlucky ones that are susceptible to addiction. Basically your genetics makes it easier for your brains dopamine regulators to get fucked. When you use substances you get a rush of dopamine, even with weed yes. Now, thanks to shitty genetics, your brain doesn't know how to reward you properly and how to regulate dopamine. Now here's the good news. You used weed so you didn't fuck up your brain chemistry for life, you still fucked up thou, but not for life. If you took coke, meth or heroin you're basicly fucked for life in regards of dopamine regulation (like roids do with hormones). So if you quit and stay sober your dopamine levels WILL be back at 100% after 6 months. But bas news son, you still have Shorty genetics. That means no drugs, alcohol, gambling, caffeine and all that other addictive shit for life. You can still bet on something and drink a few at a party, but never in excess.

*BBBBBBBBRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAPPPPPPP*

Had the same sort of issue once upon a time. Haven't smoked up in maybe 5 months or so. What worked for me was taking melatonin before bed so I could get a solid evening's rest, do more cardio so I get that runners high, and have a nice hot bubble bath.

>how do to compounds without anterior pelvic tilt
Screw your feet into the ground, and clench the glutes. While standing, when you push your knees out just a few centimeters, you can feel the glutes get activated.
In order to stabilize your core, lay on the ground. Push your fingers into your hip bones. Now, push ever so slightly on your belly button, and breathe air into there. This is how you engage your core.
By figuring out how to engage the core, as well as the glutes, this will help stabilize your lower back. I'd also recommend stretching the hip flexors, proximal hamstrings, lumbar erectors, and glutes. Pic related.

Once-a-semester smoker here
That first part made so much sense to me.
I always have the brigthest ideas while on weed, and can't see how people use it to interact with other people. I just dive into my own self.

>Do things again you used to like to do
Can't even remember them
> explore hobbies and interests off yours.
Will do.
>If you smoke weed you'll get stuck in your life way to soon.
saw this happen with too many people
>, the learning experience is slower than yours and everything seems more "new" to them than you.
Maybe this is why i'm don't feel pleasure from learning anymore?
> The problem is weed makes makes you more inward,introvert
Yeah it wasn't like this before but massive overthinking on weed is basically a norm now
>2nd explanation is that you are one of the unlucky ones that are susceptible to addiction. Basically your genetics makes it easier for your brains dopamine regulators to get fucked.
Been addicted to video games, cutting, fapping, weed, girls since i was 13 tried alcohol but i never actually got the feel for it, weed so much better or something. Wish this could work in my favor and get actually addicted to productive stuff like lifting and studying
Does this explain my adhd? Will ritaline fuck me up even when i don't even like it that much? Also you seem the right person to ask, i read some stuff about how ritaline doesn't works for potheads essentially because of some stuff going on dopamine, could you clarify it more?
>So if you quit and stay sober your dopamine levels WILL be back at 100% after 6 months
Is it really 6 months?
Will life be enjoyable again?

Thanks, i saw some youtube videos on this but they didn't help me much but now i think it will

Thanks so much anons, i was gonna relapse but you guys saved me.
I can't thank you guys enough really

It happens man. I relapsed a few times before I officially quit. What was hard for me was, due to some sleep issues I've had for about 5 years, it got tough. Fighting it out for those first few weeks was hard. Then it was a breeze. Getting into a good, early AM gym schedule has also helped me a lot, I think.

Can't say for 100% sure that rilatin doesn't work for potheads. What I do know is you have addiction problems and that ritalin is an amphetamine, it's in the same family of drugs like speed. It also causes a rush of dopamine. So I wouldn't advice ritalin. And I also know ADHD is the most overdiagnosed mental illness.
It will take 6 months to get to 100% yes. But it heals exponentially slower by the day. So the first weeks and month are the hardest. Normally you should enjoy life again way sooner, especially if you find new shit to do and make new friends whose lives dont revolve around getting high and fucked up and actually want to go somewhere in their lives.
But like I said, you're going to have to watch out with EVERYTHING that is even slightly addictive. And that is for life, no way around it. It's like being lactose intolerant but instead of getting the shits after eating cheese you fuck up your brain after smoking a joint.

You'll get over it in a few more days. The mental craving will still exist but the physical side effects will pass.

Except when people get off it abe show withdrawal symptoms you dimwit

I highly recommend you to start lifting as well, especially during your recovery period. Just soldier through the first month of lifting and it will be very enjoyable. The bodies reaction to intense sport, sex and religion is similar to that of drugs. Those are the only positive things you can use your fucked up brain as an advantage in. That's why AA and their "power of god" and 12 step program work. But again beware of fapping, porn and steroids.
So if you want to be a religious nutcase you got the brain for it. You also have the brain to get into swinging, bdsm, Brazilian fartporn and orgies. But I'd just choose lifting if I we're you. Lifting won't irregulate your dopamine levels like drugs do, it actually helps you heal, increase normal dopamine levels during the day and increase your testosterone levels.

Will the damage be reversible even if started smoking daily since 16 and a half?
btw i'm 18
Maybe it's the reward centres in my brain that aren't fully developed but i do have the adhd symptoms since before smoking weed but yeah weed probably fucked me over especially with learning

>whose lives dont revolve around getting high and fucked up and actually want to go somewhere in their lives.

One of the guys i live with smoke weed since he is 12, he is 33 now and finishing his masters on agriculture engineering, he was a cokehead and still blasts sometimes. He smokes two-three joints daily. How does THC doesnt affect his cognitive functions like it fuckes me over?

I essentially asked you this in my previous post
> Wish this could work in my favor and get actually addicted to productive stuff like lifting and studying

I am getting very fond of buddhism, hinduism and this kind of shit but it's very hard meditating (the breathing shit not mindfullnes)
Also my procrastination basically murders me every day, will quitting also help me?

Is there a realiable diagnose to this addiction shit(but i do have 4-5 cousins most being from my mother and one from my father that got hard addicted to cocaine)

its really not a big deal bro just don't think about it.. don't be a mentally week faggot.

Phenibut

OP is a faggot who want people to fucking pity him

Try growing a fucking pair and quit, you pussy. God help you if you ever try something like opiates or meth.

No you smoked during developping years. There is some damage, deal with it. See it as your punishment for fucking around.
Your mate took till 33 to get his shit together, would've been way sooner w/o weed and coke. And theres a difference between using coke 1-2 times a week and snorting it everyday. He just had more luck than you in regards to dopamine regulation genetics. Some get affected, some wont. And imagine just what he could've done with his lofe by now if he didn't do those things.
As for the procrastination, even if you quit weed you will have to learn to discipline yourself, it's hard but doable. But if you dont quit weed it's impossible. Weed makes you okay to be bored, you just put on a movie or game and you're satisfied. If you quit you'll get bored more easily and start doing shit, explore new talents and work on shit.
And are you really asking for a diagnosis on that shit? Your past and current experiences literally point out that you have addiction problems. You really do not need a professional to tell you this. If ot would make you more comfortable go ask a psychologist that has experience with addictions. But you're talking to someone with a masters in that who js also a recovering heroin and weed addict and deals with addicts everyday. If you got a few more questions ask but I have to go after that.
You should really learn to worry less as well. You really overthink stuff even now when you're sober. I can imagine how bad it is if you're high. Hey I know it sucks ass and that you'd like to go crazy once in a while. Bit you can't, deal with it, get it in your head. Stop trying to rationalize and trying to find an excuse to use. Sadly this is for life and even more sadly is that your lofe currently revolves around something where your life can absolutely NOT revolve around, not even the tiniest bit. Dont use this information as demotivation to give in but as motivation to quit once and for all and finally get your fucking shit together.

I remember when I was a slave to the herbal jew

Been 5 months since I last smoked.

I dont think I'll ever smoke again. Fuck weed.

i quite too user :( i'm so fucking depressed i never realized how much joint inflammation i had and how shitty my life was.

Weed fucking fixed everything. I was nicer, calmer more rational. After a bad day i would smoke up and forget it ever happen. I haven't smoked in over two weeks and i gained like 4 pounds. :( shits not going well bro. I really want a better job tho so i'm not gonna do it but fuck i miss it.

the fact we can complain about wanting it but not actually doing it proves it's not addictive.

brazilian girls are as hot as it gets damn!!!!! i've been there on the olympics and holy shit i've fucked so fucking many girls that i think i've got herpes, they love "gringos" and holy shit they are so slutty and easy to fuck, a slut also stole my s7 while we fucked on the car i rented

Just like I want to take heroin but dont take it proves that heroin is not addictive.
Is your logic really this impaired user?

I am tempted to ask about the damage but i know it will make you mad since it may be just more worrying. I don't think i have much else to say, i can't express how thankfull i'm for meeting you and someone with such knowledege and education as you, i am screencapping your posts and i will try to remember them every time some faggot offers me a joint or a opportunity to do so rises.
Will psychedelics do me harm? Specially cubensis(even though my 5 experiencies with it were bad trips even trying to controll it). I know they aren't addictive per say but still....

You may have changed my life, i don't really have any more excuses now.
Thanks

The only reason they slept with you is because there was a tiny chance you'd get them out of the favela's or that they could steal something. But you didn't help them one bit and took advantage of their situation and now brag about it on the internet. You must be a good, real honest man. Your parents must be proud user.

can you post some links of stuff i can read up on?
i think i fucked my dopamin levels up bad. Ive been masterbaiting pretty heavly since i was 8 or 9ish

Nigger I smoked weed every day from 15-22 and did heroin daily from 16-19 and I have a job making $100k a year at 23

Just cause you suck at life doesn't mean you can blame it on drugs

The damage isn't as significant as you think. It's easily controllable but you have to control it.
And you answered your own question regarding psychedelics. I know you know the answer. There are rare cases of psychedelics changing your brain chemistry in a positive way after fucking it up but those are the exception not the norm. It's more likely you fuck it up real bad thou. I highly advice against psychedelics especially with your anxiety and weed abuse because you'll be more likely to get a psychosis. You said you had 5 bad trips, be glad you dont have a psychosis yet. If you have that the damage is really significant and you'll be really fucked for life, you could compare your addiction problems as crabs and psychosis as full blown aids.
And no problem user, glad I could help. Rather have you quit now when it's almost all reversable, fixable and easy to contain instead of having you first fuck up your life more and more. Trust me if you think you have it bad now, it can become even worse than you ever can imagine.

Maybe first learn to read a post before you start e-starting with claims we both know are untrue.

I used to hate fart posters, but now they're the main reason I open threads with images of female ass

Stick it out man, it gets easier. Dope will make your anxiety worse. Keep lifting and stretch your hip flexors and do more work on glutes, hamstrings and abs for the tilt

I'm actually on my phone in bed atm so cba. Just look it up yourself there's alot of information and doing it yourself makes it easier for you learn it, know it and use it.

Yeah i will quit drugs then. In a year, if i am where i want to be then i will try doing psychedelics and if its a bad trip then i will quit them too.
Thanks user, good night,

>have a job making $100k a year at 23
Let me guess, your a wendy's chef?

This

ty

>last part fo real

I overanalyzed shit to the point where I would find the negative aspects of every situation, all the fucking time.

I never understood ppl smoking weed cuz of social anxiety, I get socially retarded when Im high so talking to ppl is scary and too much, but when Im sober Im pretty fun and charming

Yeah exactly aND at first it did The opposite

People like us just aren't meant to smoke weed.

Almost 2 weeks since I last smoked, I feel pretty good and better f a m I feel like I have more energy to do things and I wanna stop drinking even though I don't drink alot except weekends.
I enjoy my gains and my cutting is gone so well why ruin it and the fact that there is a strong chance i may have a alcholism gene in me since both paternal and maternal side suffered from it.

the first month is always the worst.

a few months down the line something will trigger your stress and make you want to relapse. don't let that happen.

It's for the day after, weed has effects that last after you have smoked. At least it does for me.

Also to OP why no weed? Are there any disadvantages to being Veeky Forums and smoking weed. Personally it helps me to recover from workouts and injury.

Nice bait, but everyone and their mother already knows at this point that when people say "weed is not addictive" they are speaking under the context of a physical addiction not a mental one.

Holy fuck you are a burnout if you don't recognize sarcasm that obvious

I started smoking when I was 18 on the dot. It definitely made me a happier and more socially outgoing person, even when I was sober. It also makes me a bit slow in the mornings and I need to work more to motivate myself, but I think its worth it for no longer being sad/lonely/anxious all the time.

The medical benefits are no lie but they're not universal- just because it works for some people doesn't necessarily mean it'd work for you. But I'd recommend you give it a shot, maybe smoke a few times in a month and see if you feel any different. Given your anxiety I'd highly recommend you don't start with a sativa, that's the type that can get you paranoid. Indicas are usually very relaxing.

This happens to me sometimes. I'll get hyper critical of movies/entertainment as well as people, just being obsessed with the negative. Trick is being able to calm yourself down, knowing that it's just the weed messing with you. It's classic paranoia the whole "my life is a lie" thing. It sucks, but is 100% all in your head.

You could try to get a hold of CBD oil that way you can get the benefits of weed without being baked out of your mind.

Fight through it, bitch. The first week, if you're a long time abuser, sucks, but you seriously don't give a flying fuck by the 3rd week. I've just had a 4 week break, and am going to smoke by the weekend, and I'm actually sort of apathic.

Day three of no alcohol. Can't say I've got the same feels but I've got similar, spend all day anxious, exhausted and sleep is disturbed. Keep at it user

Thank you for not letting me down.

I liked them the whole time, but now I try to chase down threads that start with a pic of a woman's ass.

>self medicating with weed for anxiety
Wonder why you're facing massive anxiety again when you were trying to cover the problem with something that causes stronger long term anxiety.

Good job, retard.

you guys are a bunch of fucking nerds. i've smoked weed nearly every day the last 5 years except for week or month long breaks here and there. when i was an EMT and all the way through the surgical program i just finished. I'm on a 2 week break right now and life sucks, i can't wait to get back to chiefing after i pass this drug test for my new job. if you can't be productive while smoking on some fine dope you're a retard, don't blame the plant.

>inb4 you won't pass a test after 2 weeks

already took a home test tonight.

I quit for 6 months last year and went back to it :'( I also had the anxiety after quitting for a week. Smoking it gives me anxiety but it never used to.

More addictive than weed probably.

Yeah no shit. I find it's actually pretty helpful in a high stress environment. During grad school and the first 18 months of my career in Land use planning I used to smoke weed every night before bed and every morning when I woke up because it helped me to relax and focus on one thing at a time when I had a lot of things going on.

I got lucky enough to not orient myself with pot smoking since 14. As I got into highschool a lot of maturity came into my life and it didn't seem cool or fun anymore. 22 now haven't smoked in a long time other than a few isolated incidents. It's uber overated in my book and expensive beyond comprehension.

That pic is hot as fuck. THICC

ah, back when this board actually was for people wanting and receiving legitimate advice without taking a break to fight over whether or not to fap over each other's cb's and whine about no gf

stick with it bro
im on day 30 no fap and no weed and cigs
it gets better after 2-3 weeks

3months and u'll feel like a god

Keep rationalising your drug abuse
to yourself you degenerate. You should get fired on the spot handling peoples lives as an EMT if you can't even control your own impulses. Weed does effect you and your brain, no exceptions. But hey addictions first stage is denial. You're already at stage one, now grow up an go through the next stages.

power trough.

or get some Ashwaganha or Rhodiola Rosea.

My friend takes dabs to cope with suboxin withdrawals.. Search up how bad that shit is. It gets rid of all his symptoms.

>quitting weed
>can't sleep
>melatonin makes me feel extremely tired the next day and dependent
wut do

All these people rationilsing the use of a very, very potent substance really makes you think.
Yes weed WAS a light drug, but we're not in the 90's anymore fellas. You and your loves have been altered by this drug and it is for the worse. You rationalising your use with saying "but I got some friends" doesn't make it less bad for you. You're literally saying my life is better now that I know people that use drugs and are dependant on it. While at the same time ignoring everything negative weed has done to you. You all know that what you're doing is bad for you and hinders your potential and you know it.
Now I'm not saying you have to quit, if you're happy with it stick with it. But do know one day you'll realize just how much you fucked up and how mich precious time you lost just by smoking pot and you will regret it.

Power through it. Stop taking melatonin ot any other things to help you sleep. Yes those things help but do you really want to quit weed to then become reliant on something else for something as essential and basic as sleep? As fir your sleeping problems, can you give me some more information on your life? What do you do daily, at what time do you wake up and go to sleep, how active are you through the day, are you currently suffering from a mental illness and what are the things you do before you go to sleep?

Are u The user from yesterday?

I don't currently take melatonin or anything for sleep

Usually I'll stay up til 4-5 because not tired, wake up at around 8, take a nap later in the day if I can. Sometimes I can't sleep at all and am fully nocturnal. I try to do something active every day, usually at night after my nap.

I'm at college and have class in the 10-3 range.

I have no mental disorder unless you count low confidence around girls.

Even if I don't nap to reset my sleep cycle, I'll get one mayyybe two nights of sleep before I can't fall asleep again.

As a child I would stay up all night itching myself due to severe eczema. It's one of the reason weed apppealed to me so much because it helped me fall asleep. I still have some eczema but I don't really itch any more just dry skin.

I smoked daily for 5 years, I've been clean for exactly 100 days now.
The way I did it was by locking everything I had at the moment and giving the key to someone I trust.
The first week was the hardest, and then for some reason the third week was really hard too.
I've opened the weed box once for new years and took some because I had a friend who wanted to try it, by then I had already realized I don't ever want to smoke again so I was comfortable enough to roll it and be around people smoking it.
The day after I did want to smoke it but I didn't, everything is still locked and I have no access without that person granting me.

Yeah, had some spare time. But gtg for awhile after this post. Will check up on this thread later thou.
Damn son you got alot of fucked up sleeping habits. If you're going to want to have a stable living and sleeping pattern you're going to have make alot of changes in your habits and day to day life.
Resetting your clock like you said doesn't work instantly it takes awhile, especially if you've been living like this for so long. It takes a few weeks for your body and hormonal levels to stabilze. There is nothing wrong with taking a nap but in your case it causes you to not br tired untill late at night and fuck up your sleeping pattern. You should also avoid taking a nap after 2-3 in the afternoon but you have classes then. If you insist on taking a nap then take it right after your classes and at no other time. Try to take the nap at the same time everyday if possible.
As for tur eczema, do you hydrate enough? A good tip that helped me get rid of dry skin is putting a fresh towel on my pillow everyday and changing my bed sheets very often, like 3-4 times a week.

literally half of my waking hours are spent drinking and pissing

at this point I just live with the eczema, it's either purely genetic or due to gluten/lactose allergies which tbf is just not worth cutting out.

Are you going cold turkey? You're not supposed to go cold turkey as an addict. You need to measure and ween yourself off of the drug over a period of time. I suppose if you made it this far, you should continue with abstaining from it.

Just occupy your mind with other shit. If you suffer without weed you are honestly pretty pathetic.

are u retarded?
gluten is pure shit from a nutritional perspective

its garbage.

I smoked weed three times a day for about two months and i never ever felt anything close to withdrawal symptoms. Amphetamine or MDMA, now were talking withdrawals. You guys are just cocksucking pussies

Let's see you eat 4.5k calories a day with a 14 a week dining hall plan buddy

Dont listen to this guy.

He's smoking weed. What you say is true for some substances but not for weed. It's also almost impossible to quit in the way you describe without proffesional help.And it's just impossible for other substances like heroin or coke where you have to have immense self control, which you dont have if you're an addict, and where you can't be certain of the quality of your product. I only advice this method with the guidance of a professional or if you're quitting alcohol if you're a heavy user. Alcohol detox is the only thing that can literally kill you when going cold turkey.

Bro, I was where you are right now a few years ago. Hang in there and DONT relapse. Don't ever smoke again cause that will slowly make you smoke daily again. Your appetite wil come back after a few weeks. It's hard man, I've been there. The anxiety is no joke. You'll thank yourself in a few weeks.

again, are u FUCKING retarded?
