Anybody here ever quit weed and have some advice? I'm on day 6 and I'm getting horrible nightmares. The wall between reality and dream is cracking because the dreams are so vivid I can't entirely trust external stimuli. I'm also getting tired in the middle of the day. Seems like sleeping doesn't actually rest me. No cravings yet.
i exercise a lot when i have to quit weed for some reasonseems to help
>"Weed doesn't have any negative side effects, brooo"Glad I stopped taking that shit when I greened out over edibles
Its time to grow some balls and face your pysche anon. THC fucks up your REM, when you stop taking it your REM comes back in full force leading to insane dreams. They are just dreams, stop being so afraid and driving yourself insane over them. There is much insight to be gathered from dreams, even from nightmares.>>34552698Its only a negative side effect if you make it one. I like having really intense fucked up dreams when im on a break. It keeps my mind off of work and makes sleep feel longer. I remember I had a dream where I was a child kidnapped by a bunch of chinese organ harvesters and was floating in a pool of blood and organs.
>>34552698I greened out so hard that it was borderline hallucinating and brought back a lot of repressed memories, gave me confidence, and like 1/4 of my life flashed before my eyes over the course of like 3 days, and I think it sent me on a better path but I'm not sure I recommend it.
>>34552734>There is much insight to be gathered from dreams, even from nightmares.Like what? It's just random bullshit with no coherent meaning.
>>34552745You feel ways about it and can analyze those feelings, and those feelings are probably related to something happening in your life, or it helps you run thought experiments and process alternative timelines and relive things to gain ner perspectives. And like other stuff probably.
>>34552745It depends on the dream and your interpretation of them. I dream about mountains and going to vertigo inducing heights a lot. This is a reflection of how i feel like im walking on a precipice in my day to day life and one mistake can cost me everything. However in my dreams when I do fall it doesnt hurt and I dont feel that scared, if anything just looking at the drop down is the worst part. However the most literal message I remember from a dream was when I was dreaming about getting together with my ex. I was cuddling her and felt warm, which even though I dont wanna be with her the feeling of intimacy has grown very distant to me so I enjoyed it. However my good feeling was interrupted by sleep paralysis, my eyes were open and I saw my desk chair as being a shadowy distorted spirit. It circled beyond my peripheral vision while hissing in a garbled voice "shessss nott the one".
>>34552734>>34552773Thanks anons. I will grow some balls. Is there anything I can do to mitigate cravings and avoid relapse? I'm mostly quitting to feel sharper because I'm currently job searching and don't to fail a drug test.
>>34552800When i stopped smoking for a job I played a lot of guitar, read a few books, and worked out a lot. I drank beer when I wanted to chill out, however the urge to smoke was only ever bad when I got really drunk. Just keep yourself busy and do stuff you usually wouldnt do while high, ie stuff that involves alot of concentration.
This is probably terrible advice that I shouldn't give, but the only way I can cold turkey weed if I've been smoking daily for months-years is by drinking.3-4 pints or a half bottle of whisky gives me the same kind of unconscious half dead sleep that I yearn for from cannabis. Gets me over that first week of insomnia. Only advisable if you have a responsible relationship with alcohol and can stop it when you're no longer acclimated to THC
Was going to give advice but realized I misread "cannibas". Id never touch that stuff.
>>34552645THC is stored in fat cells. Doing exercise burns fat which releases a little stored THC and eases withdrawals!I walked 5miles a day when I quit. It felt great. I was slightly high every day
