smokers HELP!!

[WuTang420]

ok so i need to stop smoking weed for at least a month to get a new job, but heres the prob..

lets start from the beginning. in and before 7th grade i had serious ADHD symptoms, then one morning my friend brought some weed stolen from his dad over and i haven't had the problem since. that was about 12 years ago and ive smoked damn near every day since.

so anyways a couple weeks ago i tried to quit.. i was perfectly fine for about 24 hours, and then it all went to hell. i had such a sensory overload issue the TV downstairs from me was making my ears ring, people talking to me sounded like they were screaming and the TV screen was so bright it hurt my eyes. so i just kinda went with it and put a pillow around my head and went to sleep. by morning i was fine , however after being awake for a couple hours i noticed i was extra irritable. it got to the point that when asked a simple question by my wife like "wheres my brush?" i would yell " AM I A FUCKING WOMAN? DO I HAVE LONG HAIR? THEN WHY WOULD I KNOW WHERE THE FUCKING BRUSH IS!" ect. I let this go on for about half the day, then decided it was better to have a half assed job than be an asshole, and smoked a bowl.

anyways my questions:

1)What the fuck is going on?
2)Has anyone else ever experienced anything similar?
3)Solutions?
4)Have i just burned out all my brains happy-juice in the last 12 years?


I really don't like to think of myself as "addicted" to anything so this is driving me crazy.

I'd rather not discuss this with anyone irl that i have to deal with everyday at risk of looking like an idiot, so i figured id ask the internet since alot of TW smokes too. thanks

The irritability from not having it, after smoking all the time, is quite nomral. It usually takes about 1 - 2 weeks of not smoking for that to go away.

Myself, I have not smoked since Nov. of last year. I too had smoked pretty much every day. I actually feel better now than I did when I smoked it all the time, though the first couple weeks, as I mentioned, were rough.

I don't really know what to suggest that would help... I wouldn't really recommend it, as if you overdo it, it could lead to other problems, but I had taken a bit of alchohol (not enough to get buzzed or anything) to take away some of the tension. Perhaps if you google marijuana withdrawl or something like that, you could find some useful info?

Maybe you should try a doctor or some other specialist?

Its burn in me to write how you fucked up your brains with drugs but:

1) I don't know your condition.

2) I don't want to start a discussion here.

Be smart and go to a doctor, it will be the best for you.

From what I understand, Weed is one of the hardest drugs to quit. Its not as dangerous as other drugs, but not easy to quit.

[gran guerrero]

Our body's have natural morphine that releases endorphins in our body giving us the pleasure of the high feeling. We get awarded these endorphins through the intake of dopamine to our brain which releases awards (pleasure). So we can get high from working out, playing an extreme sport, having sex, etc... when we take drugs, it's not really fucking our brains over, it's just changing the amount of dopamine going to the brain. (I.e. cocaine blocks the uptake of dopamine then released gives massive amounts of dopamine to the brain; heroin and opium speed up the release of endorphins; marijuana raises serotonin which acts on the neurotransmitters or the messenger for the nerves in our brains that communicates all the functions)

So in the long run, harder drugs will kill the neurotransmitters in our brain which makes most burnouts like they are dumb, but if given time they are seen to be smart. Smoking weed is actually not going to damage your brain because their are THC receptors in your brain, so the uptake of the marijuana is kind of welcomed.

But the thing is when you kind of smoke your fair share amount, time will take its toll and kind of set a standard for your body's expectancy. So you are going through either a relapse in your ADHD (which imo, I highly doubt) or the logical explanation of a withdrawal. Over time though your body will switch its expectancy of marijuana and everything will seem fine again. Think of it like getting off the highway going 80 mph then driving on the road in a 40 mph zone. understand?

My advice is to just pick up some sweat. Go play basketball, or go lift weights, HAVE A LOT OF SEX! do something to get your mind off of it because no doubt you have an oral fixation as well. just keep yourself busy and you'll soon forget about it until you do it again.

Nevermind.

Chill for a week. You'll be fine. Smoke up every once in a while though. It's healthy.

[Jeenyuss]

hey za long time no fucking see, buddy. did i tell you i saw mm last november? drop by ss sometime and we'll catch up.

i think he said he had to quite for job purposes though, probably a piss test of sorts. gran's got some good advice with keeping busy (or more importantly, active). if after quitting you find yourself with symptoms of ADHD still i'd suggest seeing a doctor and checking out what he thinks you should do to get that corrected. good luck, mane.

[Facetious]

is it a situation where if you fail the drug test youll lose your current job?

if not, id smoke for three weeks, quit for one (be honest, you wanted to smoke because you wanted to smoke, not because you were worried you were being an asshole), and then drink a shit-ton of water, like an insane amount, in the 8 hours before your test. youll get a negative-dilute result probably, which for most businesses counts as passing.

edit: also, i have some pretty badass ADD and smoking makes it worse, for whatever thats worth

[gran guerrero]

my friend has ADD, his mom never wanted to give him the medication for it, so he smokes pot and it actually helps him (the worst he'll get is when he starts walking in circles when he's deep in thought)

There is this product you can buy at publix for like a couple bucks, it's called certo and it works on cleaning your system of weed in an hour. me and my friends take it all the time it works great. to be on the safe side, still drink the large amount of water.

hey za long time no fucking see, buddy. did i tell you i saw mm last november? drop by ss sometime and we'll catch up.

lol thc builds up in the fat cells, the more fat u have the longer it takes and it takes 3-60 days to be completely clean after stopping, and thats for a normal user..

It's the easiest of the readily available drugs to quit.
