Marijuana Withdrawal

If you have chosen to quit your addictive behaviors and the use of marijuana, you will find that the marijuana withdrawal you are going to experience is one of the, if not the, strongest ones. Since the drug is probably the most addictive, and you get addicted quite easily, those who are long term users and are quitting will notice that the marijuana withdrawal they experience is very strong. So, even if you have only used the drug for a short period of time, the addictive nature, and the fact that you have taken it out of your system so abruptly, are going to factor in to the strong marijuana withdrawal symptoms you are going to be experiencing early on in the phases of detox. The more you used the drug, and the more of an addiction you had, the more powerful you can expect the symptoms to feel.

It does not matter what marijuana withdrawal you experience, from the sweats to chills, or anxiety or other symptoms, they are going to be quite strong, especially during the first few days of having removed the drug from your system. As with any other withdrawal, by taking something away from the body, it is going to look for something else to attach itself to; so, it is going to be looking for other drugs, alcohol, or any other substance, to make up for the lack of the drug in the system. Therefore, when the body does not find these things in the system, it is going to start releasing the toxins, which is what you most feel when you do get the chills and sweats. So, being aware of these drastic, and sometimes very severe symptoms that are going to be experienced when you choose to quit, will help you cope with the earlier days of the detox.

If you want to detox, you will find that dealing with the marijuana withdrawal symptoms in an inpatient facility is much easier than trying to do it on your own. Since you have trained staff on hand they can help you fight these emotions; and, with a support system there to help you get through these early marijuana withdrawal symptoms, you will find that it is going to be much easier to quit, and to get through the toughest periods of quitting, and detoxing the body when you do choose to eliminate the drug from your day to day life.

No matter how long you have used, or to what extent you were addicted, there are certain marijuana withdrawal symptoms all users will experience. By knowing what they are, knowing when to expect them, and having the support system set up and in place, you will find it much easier to quit. So, keeping these things in mind, and considering the support you need, these are going to be the most important things if you want to get through the toughest days when you are trying to quit.
