Are you a heavy marijuana user quitting weed or taking a break for Sober October? Whether you’re stepping back for a month or aiming for long-term change, Weedless.org has the resources to guide and support you throughout this challenging but empowering journey.
The first days and weeks after quitting weed can feel overwhelming. You’ll likely experience a rollercoaster of thoughts, physical symptoms, and emotions as you adjust to life without weed. Withdrawal symptoms peak in the first week—especially around days 2-3—but they taper off over time. By the second week, many of the flu-like symptoms subside, though cravings and depressive feelings might linger.
Weeks three and four often come with challenges like insomnia, anxiety, and mental fogginess. However, these symptoms don’t last forever, and with the right tools and support, you can get through it.
At Weedless.org, we break down the facts about marijuana use and withdrawal into simple, actionable advice. Here are some of our key resources to help you stay on track this Sober October:
- Guide to Quitting (Week 1)
- About Marijuana Withdrawal
- Timeline of Common Withdrawal Symptoms

About Weedless.org
Weedless.org is a free, web-based resource and community created by a team of healthcare professionals and researchers. We distill the facts about marijuana use and its effects into practical guidance for interested persons or for those who are thinking about or struggling to quit weed. Finding reliable, easy to understand information about marijuana should never be a struggle—that is why our core mission is to provide the most up to date information about marijuana use, abuse, addiction, and withdrawal. While we seek to empower individuals to have control over their use, we are not “anti-weed” and we support efforts to legalize adult marijuana use and study.
