“In spite of the common belief that there are no physiological or psychological effects of cannabis/marijuana addiction, a large number of recovering MA members experience withdrawal symptoms in some form as they stop using marijuana.”

– About Marijuana Detox, MA pamphlet

Withdrawal symptoms are very real for many marijuana addicts. Withdrawal from marijuana, until recently, was considered non-existent. In talking with other marijuana addicts, I have found a different belief. They shared with me about their experience of having sleepless nights, night sweats, and an array of other symptoms. For me, withdrawal manifested itself in loss of appetite and crazy dreams. Extreme fatigue also reared its pull on me in early recovery. Now that I have detoxed from weed, my mind has cleared up, my thoughts are not so self-centered, and I am finding a new connection to my highest power.

Final thought: Today, I am so grateful I have gotten through my detoxing from marijuana. I am here to share that it does get better, one day at a time.
