People who have been using cannabis heavily sometimes develop a mild physical addiction that includes withdrawal symptoms that can last several weeks. These are usually mild, and include the jitters, occasional other mild symptoms, and emotional unease. There have been a few reports of psychotic episodes, but it has not been established that those were due to removal of the chemicals. They may have been due to underlying conditions that were masked or controlled by the drug use. If present, these should be addressed by specialists rather than continuing to self-medicate.

What is more difficult is to remain determined to stay off cannabis in a society that is becoming more and more accepting of it. Remember that only you can decide if it is a problem, and other people's opinions -- especially those of other users, who have a vested interest in your continuing to use because of their own denial -- don't count for much. It's your mind, and your body. Do what is right for you.

Finally, remember that -- regardless of other issues -- use of cannabis is still illegal in most places for most people. There are many people serving prison time for a couple ounces of weed. At present it is not just an issue of opinion, but also of potential life-changing consequences.

****** My dear friend, you asked for something and variety of people are giving you varieties of advice. This is the world you and I live in. My suggestion is this that if you want to quit anything that is bad for your health and your life, please don't ask anybody. Just take the decision yourself. If you seek others' advice, people will take the advantage of treating you as one of those weaklings. Please don't expose your weakness now, because you are going to be one of the strongest personalities in the world who can show that you can give up what you want to give up.******

What are the mental effects of using cannabis?

Using cannabis may lead to short-term effects such as altered perception, impaired memory and concentration, heightened sensory perception, and relaxation. In some cases, it may also induce anxiety, paranoia, or psychotic episodes, especially in individuals predisposed to mental health disorders. Long-term use can affect cognitive function, motivation, and lead to dependency.


Do different strains of Cannabis really effect you in different ways and if so how?

There are three different species of the Cannabis Sativa plant. Cannabis Sativa Sativa - Simply put: it gives you an uplifting high. Cannabis Sativa Indica - Again, simplified, it makes you stoned (i.e that "couchlock" effect). Cannabis Sativa Ruderalis - Contains so little THC that it is never used in marijuana strains. Now, you can argue that the way you grow the plants (if you use real soil, and if so the quality of it, fertilizers, and the general proper conditions for growing etc) affects to a certain degree how the effect will be, but generally what growers do is to make strains based on a Sativa/Indica mix. A rule of thumb is that the more Cannabis Sativa Sativa that is in your strain, the more of that uplifting high you will get, and the same with Cannabis Sativa Indica only with the "couchlock" effect.
