Manage Marijuana Detox
In the past, the words ‘marijuana’ and ‘addiction’ were seldom heard in the same sentence, but that shouldn’t be particularly surprising. Keep in mind, it wasn’t that long ago that alcohol and tobacco products were thought to be completely harmless as well.
Fortunately, there is now no doubt about alcohol, smoking and the addictive properties of each, just as there should be no questions about marijuana’s ability to render its users completely dependent.
Marijuana is a powerful drug that can cause a number of short and long-term effects. In addition, those who smoke or ingest marijuana on a consistent basis will develop a tolerance to the drug, and will need more and more of it to produce the same effects. I’m sure you can relate to that, right?

Coming off of marijuana is no different than any other drug. You will likely experience unpleasant marijuana detoxification symptoms. Try to remind yourself that if you can overcome the initial withdrawal symptoms, it will get easier after that. Here is some additional information.
The feeling of being high is something you will crave strongly, as well as the smell of the cannabis. This is a natural process of marijuana withdrawal and can become overwhelming. This is why so many people find themselves right back in the same position, smoking more, even after they have made a commitment to quit. You may even go a through a few days without it before you can’t take it anymore and start back. I get so frustrated when people do this because they were so close to getting past the hard part and then they have to start all over. But I do understand – quitting is hard.
Cravings don’t always begin immediately, but are especially intense for the first 5 days or so of marijuana detoxification. Don’t think long term. Just focus all of your energy on getting through each day, one day at a time. If your goal is to get through a week, you may get overwhelmed and give up. So just take it step by step and you will find that it is much easier to accomplish your goals.
