How Long Does Withdrawal Last?

Despite what the public believes about marijuana, you can suffer from marijuana “weed” “MJ” withdrawal symptoms, however, if you only use occasionally, it is unlikely that you will experience withdrawal symptoms. If you are feeling weed withdrawal symptoms, how long they last depends on different factors.

Unlike other drugs such as heroin, benzodiazepines, or alcohol, marijuana is not as physically addictive. However, the most difficult substance use disorder to overcome is the one you are suffering from. The good news is heavy pot smoker withdrawal is safe and temporary.

What is Marijuana Withdrawal?

Marijuana withdrawal is the emergence of symptoms after you stop using marijuana. If you are going through weed withdrawal symptoms, how long it lasts depends on the type and amount that you use.

You will begin to experience some negative symptoms within a week of abstinence. These typically happen if you are a heavy pot smoker. Withdrawal can include feelings of increased anxiety and hostility.

You may feel restlessness or a feeling of all-around discomfort. Anytime your body goes through a disruption you are likely to feel this condition of malaise. Disturbances in sleep are likely to affect you if you are a heavy pot smoker.

Withdrawal is not a fun process, but it is the first step you need to regaining control over your life. Many people have trouble dealing with the negative impact of withdrawal.

Effects and Abuse of Marijuana

When marijuana is smoked or consumed, THC passes into the bloodstream. Once in the body, the psychoactive ingredients are quickly transported to the brain. The experience is vastly different for people.

You may experience a period of euphoria. Nevertheless, you can also suffer from paranoia, panic, and in extreme case hallucinations. Often in chronic users, the risk of developing mental health disorders is higher.

Marijuana abuse is a pattern of use that cause you significant harm to your mental and physical health. If you are having a difficult time functioning at home or work, you may be suffering from a substance abuse disorder.

Mental Illness and Marijuana

Chronic smokers report different experiences. Marijuana affects the brain in different ways. Several studies have linked long term marijuana use to psychiatric conditions. This is especially true if you suffer from schizophrenia.

If you are a heavy pot smoker withdrawal can be difficult to navigate. These negative associations can detour you from committing to stopping. If you are experiencing marijuana withdrawal symptoms you most likely suffer from some dependence. There is hope and treatment available if you are struggling to stop or limit your reliance on marijuana.

Marijuana Use Disorder

If you are wondering if you are suffering from a marijuana abuse disorder, you need to ask yourself a few questions.

• Are you are trying to control your marijuana use and cannot fight the urge?
• Are you a heavy pot smoker going through withdrawal?
• Do you feel unable to cope with marijuanawithdrawal symptoms?
• Do you want more information about how you can decrease or stop using marijuana?

If you answered yes to any of these questions you are most likely suffering from a use disorder. Do not let the stigma of society stigma dictate what you feel is a problem. Addiction is a cycle where you have lost control over your life and responsibilities.
