    here is a long known theory: we do the samethings every day known as a routine, naturally that routine will get broken and that is called a breach and the breach creates a crisis and it fixes itself to go back on routine.

    psychological withdrawl will always happen when your routine is out of place.

    SO fucking true.
    In relation to what you've said, I suppose a psychological addiction arises within a relationship..
    The end of a relationship sees a break in routine and a change in life. It takes time to adjust.
    Smoking the herb continually could form a psychological relationship - a connection - to the feelings and thoughts of being high.

    according to a recent (2004) study conducted by Harvard Medical School affiliate McLean Hospital, the withdrawal effects experienced by chronic marijuana smokers include, but are certainly not limited to, the following symptoms:

    irritability
    anxiety
    physical tension
    decreased mood
    decreased appetite

    it is important to note that 60% of the participants in the abstinence study experienced significant withdrawal symptoms. viruk noted in an above post that many of these symptoms overlap with those seen in major depression disorder.

    Pretty much, but then again your brain can be very tricky. It could even convince you that your legs are numb, no lie...people have had purely psycological meltdowns and their hearts have stopped (for no physical reason)...THE BRAIN IS CRAZY!

    yeah sometimes its all just psychological BUT, believe it or not that psychological problem can manifest itself in physical symptoms!
    either way, numb lugs = something screwy.....

    He said it had been two months since he last smoked, and by this point there's 0 THC running through his veins after 2 months of abstaining.

    I have been off dope for 2 years and I feel psychotic sometimes but I've always felt like that and I actually think that smoking brought more psycho out in me but I'm cool haha.

    Ever since I stopped toking last week, I have been having shitty sleeps, taking long to get to sleep and the most vivid dreams I have ever had.

    I have to agree with Viruk that it's all psychological. However, as yazzer points out, it can easily take physical manifestations. After all the mind is connected to everything else, so what goes up upstairs is bound to affect everything below.

    When I go without weed for a longer period of time, which hasn't been that long for the past year or so for me I smoke fairly regularly, just not in huge amounts, I most definitely get somewhat pessimesitic about the world. I wouldn't call it full-fledged depression or sadness, just one sigh too many. Which affects how I work, behave and feel. But not in any severity. I think those people who experience severe withdraw symptons are simply aggrevating their depression because they can't cope with that damn daily doob!

    All I can say is, live it out of your system. The day will shine brighter one of these days.

    Funny enough, I find it a lot easier not to smoke, both tobacco and weed, if I have sum on me. I think it's the thought that I can satisfy my need anytime that I want that I find calming.

    Haha, try smoking for 4-5 years straight and then stopping! That's just the icing on the cake! But everything's temporary and doesn't last forever.
    In the past, I've quit weed for 6 months purely because I missed having real dreams. It only took about 2/3 days to go to sleep almost straight away (as opposed to lying there thinking about shit). The dreams not only stayed in memory for a long time after waking up, but they started to signify things in my life, things I'd denied through getting stoned for 5 years every day, it was like a personal subconcious revelation; self enlightenment. When you cease smoking, you start thinking in different ways and yes, it does feel like you're constantly learning and growing.

    There are a hell of a lot of benefits to not smoking pot, just as there are by smoking it. It's those first 2 days or so after stopping smoking after a heavy period of time which see your brain just confused.

    All it takes is time :)
