There is no such thing as withdrawal from the use of marijuana.

Withdrawal is generally thought of as severe physiological and psychological consequences from the sudden cessation of the input of the drug to the body, such as alcohol, caffeine, cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine and other clearly addictive substances. THC (tetrahydracarbanol) in the body metabolizes so slowly, that the person generally is not aware of the decrease in the active substances in the body. It is stored in the fat cells, and in the bladder.

Its metabolites can be detected in the urine for as long as six weeks; in the blood, two months, to two and one half months.

There can be a craving for the sensations induced by the use of marijuana which may result in efforts to obtain the drug; however, that is not to be confused with the distinct physiological addiction clearly identified with relatively certain physiological symptoms and more or less universal behaviors and sensations.

If its really bad to the point where you cant handle it go to a hospital & then doctor.

It also depends what drug u are withdrawing from.

If its not bad just drink alot of water & stay in bed, but go see a doctor & tell him everything.

Marijuana is not a physical addiction. It is more of a mental dependency. Some people turn to smoking marijuana during times of stress. Some people use the calming and mild hallucinogenic effects to wind down after a long day. All you have to do is stop smoking it. Stop the habit of smoking it. You shouldn't have bad withdrawals that are associated with some narcotics. At least I never did. If you can break the "habit" of smoking it you will be good. Talk to your Doctor and explain the situation. I have known people that have been prescribed antidepressants and sometimes anti anxiety medication and they said that they didn't feel the urge to turn to marijuana during times of stress anymore. Sorry, I wish that I could be more help to you. Hope this at least helped a little.

None

I am a multi-daily user and have been for over 5 months. I was arrested and decided to quit cold turkey.

There are no withdrawal symptoms at all and anyone who tells you there is, is lying or uninformed

  • Ween yourself off the drug by taking smaller doses.
  • For some people, restful meditation helps people reduce their symptoms.
  • For some people, keeping active and busy helps keep their mind off of the withdrawal.
  • Purely anecdotally, I have heard that going to saunas helps remove the THC from your system faster, and lessens the withdrawl symptoms.

Like with any drug, time is the best way to sober up (or getting pulled over by a cop.... that works well also).

Although with weed, you could also drink water and take a walk outside. That tends to cause me to sober up somewhat. Although the high doesn't really go away quicker, it just tends to be more mellow.

Can you have withdrawal symptoms from second hand marijuana smoke?

Marijuana is not physically addictive, so, there are no physical withdrawal symptoms. Marijuana does in fact for many people have withdrawal symptoms. Anxiety, headaches, and anger are just a few of the symptoms. I have witnessed children getting high from second hand marijuana smoke pets also. Marijuana has increased in potency over the last 10 years. I know I have smoked it most of my life. I am 42 days clean and have first hand knowledge of physical and emotional withdrawal symptoms. I would not have non smokers exposed to second hand marijuana smoke.
