    I used to love going into my backyard to smoke, especially at night. I admired the routine and associated it feeling comfortable. Now, I hop on my penny board and maybe do 10 - 15 feet back and fourth in the yard. It's helping me not miss sitting outside. It's fun, hopefully a better use of outdoor time.

    @@TreCayUltimateLife hey , thanks for checking up on me 👋 I got covid and the flu literally a couple weeks after the whole duration was about 1 month and a half give or take im still congested but because I couldn’t smoke during that whole time and believe me I tried, It feels like I’m smoking less but the desire hasn’t left i don’t think. And during the time I was forced to quit I was moody and irritable. I’m smoking the concentrate but I’m not even smoking the dry flower because I’m afraid I’m cough up a lung literally. I still ask God to help me but I’m not sure I want help I try convincing myself well it’s probably helping my epilepsy

    There is an entourage with tabacco which moderates the high from cannabis and prolongs its effects. It feels quite different to pure cannabis.

    Thank you for sharing your thoughts! Tobacco can indeed alter the experience of using cannabis by interacting with its effects. While some people might find that it moderates and prolongs the high, it's important to note that combining substances can also introduce additional health risks. Always use caution and consider consulting with a healthcare professional about your substance use.

    I think a long taper is probably the best way to go. Not sure if thats possible in a in patient setting. This is the best way to handle the insomnia. Count down to slmost nothing over a month before quitting. By that srage your endocannabinoid system has started to regain funtion. Doing this is almost impossible for an addict. If there was someway for a doctor to dole it out every evening during the taper, I feel this would be best. Then if needed all the other measures you guys are talking about. I really feel cannabis dependency is much greater than realised.

    Thank you for sharing your insights on cannabis withdrawal. Tapering can indeed be an effective strategy, especially for managing symptoms like insomnia. Implementing such a tapering schedule in an inpatient setting can be challenging but not impossible with proper medical supervision. Involving healthcare professionals to oversee the tapering process and provide necessary support can significantly improve outcomes. Cannabis dependency is often underestimated, and your comments highlight the importance of a comprehensive approach to treatment.

    Diazepam is often used in withdrawal management to help ease symptoms and provide comfort, under medical supervision. It’s important to consult with healthcare professionals for the safest and most effective treatment options. If you have any concerns or questions, discussing them with your doctor can help you understand the best approach for your situation.

    Anxious insomniacs smoked weed to alleviated their anxiety and insomnia. Then when they quit they experience the withdrawal symptoms of anxiety and insomnia 🧐🧐🧐. Are you hearing yourselves??

    May be ironic, but it's true. Oftentimes the insomnia and anxiety induced by the withdrawal is greater than before using cannabis.

    Not true withdraw start in the 7th day and will last for 2 weeks not sleeping and cravings, and everything he said. On the 6th week the withdrawal will subside and you should start feeling a little bit better then the 2 week or 3rd week. And not true that will last weeks after 2 months or months. After 2 months you should start feeling better and on 13th to 14th week all thc will leave your body and you should feel great with a lot of energy and sleep and pass a drug test. I know because I smoked 11 oz plus no more then 12 oz’s for 129 days, almost 2.5 g a day including 2 grams of wax. This doctor did not have pothead but probably drug addicts, that’s why he said months. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 I’m a true POTHEAD and never used no other drugs but nicotine and maybe a little bit of alcohol one time. And don’t use cbd, thca , thc-8, thc-10 it will make it worse, the only way to feel great is by taking a break not to use THC-9 for 13 weeks to get back feeling great. I know because I’ve smoked for 15 years already. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
