Washington | 30 Year Old Female (Using Since Age 20)

I was tired of not feeling as motivated as I used to be prior to my heavy use of marijuana. I was tired of overeating and feeling like crap from overeating.

• Withdrawal Tips: I got rid of/hid all my marijuana paraphernalia and made sure there wasn’t any marijuana in the house. My partner also quit with me so we are helping each other through these times.

Family vacation to Greece!

• Habit: bong rips and vape pen. A joint if we’re celebrating something – Sometimes it was up to 7 times a day for a week of gaming with my friends. Usually down to once a night after I start working. Maybe 2-3 times a day on the days I have off of work.
• Withdrawal Symptoms: Increase irritability most noticeablely after a week in a half in. I may have been more irratable in the first few days if I wasn’t so enamored by the destination. Also, like most people, being around a slightly quaralsome family may contribute to building irrattabilty 🤔 Appetite is also less, but hiking everyday and years of habitually eating too fast help me get the food down even if I dont particularly enjoy it.    Minor headaches some 3-4 days after I stopped smoking.    Minor nasea, although this could be from the jetlag/sleep schedule
• Timing of Withdrawal: headaches: 2-3 days after I stopped smoking Appetite loss: 2-3 days after  Slight Nausea: 2-3 days after and persisted for about a week  Irratability: Didn’t notice it until a week and a half after I stopped smoking. Its pretty bad at this point and I can’t be as passively content as I used to be so I have to occupy myself with something engaging.
