We hear people say all of the time that weed helps with anxiety, and for some people it does! Weed is bi phasic, which means when you consume too much you will get the opposite effect of what you are looking for. This could mean that weed can make anxiety worse.
For those suffering from THC addiction and THC withdrawals or cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome there is a good chance that weed is not helping the anxiety but making it worse. Accepting that weed may not be helping the anxiety is often one of the hardest parts about quitting.
Here at AddictionMindset recovery coaching we help people quit nicotine, THC, energy drinks, and adult media content. If you need help with addiction recovery coaching be sure to check out the AddictionMindset links above.

Did u relapse lad? If not how's life sober

[@oatmealtruck7811]

I’m so glad I’m FINALLY done with weed. I’m 34 years old now, and I started when I was 16. At first, it was just casual smoking. Then it became daily. Then it became all day every day. When they came out with cartridges and legalized it, it completely took over my life. People say weed isn’t addictive and that’s a LIE. I was a paranoid, anxiety riddled mess. I finally quit when I became pregnant, and that was a blessing. My husband and I moved to another state. Months after my son was born, I visited my old friends in my old state. I bought a bunch of disposable vape pens. I made a terrible choice. I thought that I could just use them casually (that was me telling a lie to myself), but I immediately went back to wake-and-bake, all-day-every-day. I felt immense guilt for not being fully present and mindful as a new mom to my baby. I’m glad to say I’m REALLY done with weed now and forever! That was several months ago. I’m never going back. Some people can just have a beer or two, and that’s all. Some people will start drinking, and they can’t stop. They just keep drinking and drinking and drinking until they pass out. That’s me with weed. I have a full blown addition, and I can’t stop once I start. I want a sober life for myself and to be the best parent that I can be.

[@SLIM_DICKINSON]

[@leftfield5914]

Yeah you gotta keep smoking to deal with the come downs of it and they reckon it has no bad side effects lol

[@EggDropTop]

Im the same way. I thought I could go back to just smoking a little at night, but then it turned into all day every day. Some of us can't just do a little, has to be all or nothing.

[@TheKoog97]

People who say its not addictive either do not use it heavily or have not tried to quit yet.

[@oatmealtruck7811]

8 month update: I meant what I said and I’ve kept to my promise to myself as a mom. I haven’t had a single puff. I’m now expecting baby #2 and I LOVE that weed is not a part of my life at all. We moved to yet another state (my husband’s job moves us a lot) where weed is legal and I’m not even tempted. I pray that everyone who is struggling with it will find the strength and support to rid it from their lives-forever, FOR REAL.

Bro you’ll have to understand this one main thing that you don’t have to do it again ever and only that is the way you can really stay away from it and not crave it. Addictions have to be dealt with like that my friend. By the way if ever relapse happens, don’t panic. You know you can quit as you’ve done it already so it’s like you kinda have the key. So get back to sobriety again. Don’t think this way that I relapsed by smoking once now I’ve broken my streak so now I’ll do it again. No. Relapse once is fine but your aim is sobriety.

The first couple days I had a very bad panic attack, then I had depersonalization for about 4 days, then about 12 days later I had another panic attack out of nowhere and had depersonalization for about a week, and the week just ended today. I just had a panic attack about 30 minutes ago. so far almost 3 weeks sober from black market carts, and after this last panic attack I didn’t have depersonalization after it. Even thought I’m still having anxiety and panic problems, it’s getting better. And watching these videos and other videos of people who have been through weed withdrawals helps me to know that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. 2 weeks ago I thought I was going crazy, but now I feel almost normal.

I'm on Day 3 (Aug 16th, 2021). I haven't made it this far since May 2020 when I was able to make it to day 16. But there were the protests / riots that started a week into my sobriety, stores were closed, cops everywhere, helicopters constantly circling over my neighborhood (I live in L.A.)... along with the pandemic just benign it's 3rd month at that time, it was too much for me to take and I relapsed. It doesn't help that there are roughly 10 dispensaries within a 1 mile radius from me. This time I'm better prepared thanks to your videos. I was miserable on day 1 and I was really on edge & angry yesterday (day 2) due to lack of sleep the night before. Being able to recognize this and this time accept that I won't feel "normal" for at least a month, it will lessen my chances of relapse. Last year, aside from external stressors, I also relapsed because I started thinking "I'm not feeling that much better and not as productive as I was hoping so maybe weed is not the problem..." This time I know better.

Man, im so glad i found this thread... i am a really heavy user for about three years, I'm on day three, and the anxiety attacks are so bad right now. I get up from my bed at night, covered in sweat and pace around the room. I took one hit off my pen to try ease my straight suffering. It did not help at all.. if you're at this point.. please, please be strong dont give up! You got this❤

[@ngallegos6180]

Im 3 weeks sober my first 2 weeks i felt great i felt like it was gonna be easy staying sober. On my third week anxiety and depression hit me hard im having panick attacks very often my mental health is a train wreck. I actually feel like im gonna go crazy ive started to look for physiatrist therapy. Who ever is going through this stay strong and continue your fight ro sobriety. Ive smoke weed and drink alcohol and Cocaine for 12 yrs straight heavy consumption. What im going through right now i never want to do any type of drug.

I'm on day 2 of quitting weed and nicotine after 20+years of daily smoking! I've already cried twice and shouted at my kids yesterday I'm feeling completely erratic. I'm trying so hard to focus on my why but this really does feel almost impossible! Very concerned that I may fail on the 48-72hr peak but all I can do is think of the kids and stay determined! I'm trying to keep busy I have loads to do but I have no motivation to do any of it, I just want to smoke. SO glad I found you to keep me going. Thank you so much!

Have you quit smoking !!

I quit for 7 weeks then caved from boredom 🫤 still really want to quit smoking and just stick to edibles, hopefully this year I will conquer it!

Day 2. Went cold turkey yesterday, 4/22/23 getting off of weed oil cartridges and nicotine vape. I was a heavy abuser for about 4 years now. Used to go through 1gm oil every 2 days and a nicotine vape cart every week. Everything that you have mentioned is true about how it impacts your life. I think for myself the years of lack of REM sleep is caught up to me. Thank you for reminding me that it is our responsibility to take back our lives. Good luck everyone. Will pray for y'all. Maybe if this goes well I can use the money I saved to work more closely in recovery with addiction mindset.

I resonate with EVERYTHING you are saying sir. Been listening to you off and on for the last 6 months. But your testimony is amazing to hear that MJ really can take control of your life if you continue to let it. What rang true to me most was when you said you felt anxirty surrounding the fact that you "couldn't" quit and this fact made you feel even MORE anxious and frozen in your cycle. And the shame, guilt, self-loathing etc. Oh yes. Too too true and sad. It's a neat plant, but I can't do it anymore. I have way too much life to live. Thank you SO MUCH for sharing your story. Really makes me feel less crazy
