Hey guys so I started feeling sick Sunday and came back positive Monday. Today I’m already feeling improvement in my symptoms and hoping to be negative by the weekend. I have a lot of plans with friends for Halloween/my bday. Would it be bad if I took some edibles this weekend?

I, 18M, would consider myself a regular smoker (began in July with once a month, gradually evolved to 1-3 times per week), and recently, I’ve taken my cannabis usage a little too far. About two months back, I used about two weeks in a row. I dropped it back to once or twice a week for a short period, but the last two weeks or so, I have smoking every night again. I stopped two days ago, planning to take a much needed week off.

Yesterday I felt totally fine. Today I feel anxious and generally unwell, kind of restless and not like myself. Before this I never felt bad on mornings or afternoons when I wasn't high, so I didn't think I was really dependent.

Is this normal for day 2? How much usage does it typically take to become dependent and experience withdrawals? How long did it take you to start feeling better, and what helped the most? Any tips for getting through the first week would be appreciated.

I've been tapering, not really relying on my use anymore, still using about 2 small bowls in the evening, I'm not really sure if its impacting my motivation, or its because I've been off my adhd meds. I'm having a hard time getting up in the mornings and getting out of my room, to be honest I don't really do anything during the day, my motivation is really low and I don't feel like doing much. When my adhd med works I feel the push to get things done and get my life together, mainly keeping up with school assignments, finding a job and exercise, but I've been off meds as I've been waiting for an insurance authorization. But I thought I'd at least feel better since I've been off concentrates, I thought I'd have some more natural motivation but its at 0. And I'm not sure if its because I'm still recovering from withdrawals, or I've relied on the adhd meds too much and now my body has become reliant on it. When I'm off my meds I have more of a craving to smoke and sometimes use it earlier to be honest. When I'm on meds I don't really have any craving to smoke until it wears off. I'm just still having these motivation issues and it sucks because I've reduced my use from concentrates all day to a small amount of flower and I thought I'd at least have some natural motivation come back and feel a bit better but thats not really the case.

Hello everyone. After about six years of daily use—multiple times a day—I decided to take a break, partly due to building up a tolerance, but also to gain a better understanding of myself.

I hadn’t set a specific duration for this break, and now, three full months have passed. My mood has improved significantly, as has my sleep, though I’m still not as active as I’d like to be when it comes to managing my life and getting things done; I clearly still have some work to do.

When I smoked weed, I also smoked cigarettes, but the latter were never an issue for me.

Over these past few months, however, my cigarette consumption has increased fivefold—especially in the evenings, when I find myself constantly smoking. It feels like I’m using them solely to fill the void left by the cannabis.

My cigarette habit scares me. Back when I smoked weed, I always mixed it with tobacco, using at most 0.5 to 0.6 grams per day. Has anyone here had a similar experience?

I’m considering something that might sound a bit silly: using marijuana in moderation—perhaps just one joint in the evening—with the goal of eventually transitioning to only smoking on weekends, while cutting out cigarettes entirely.

What do you honestly think?
