What to Expect From Cannabis Withdrawal

I’m not here to tell you not to use drugs or have a bias against drugs when I literally use drugs. I would wager to say that any drug I’ve posted about I have used and, in some cases, still use.⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣I understand that cannabis advocates/users are very sensitive. People believe that acknowledging any negative aspects of a drug will keep them from becoming more accepted/utilized. I literally don’t care about your feelings. My mission is not to appease people, I’m trying to educate. It’s pretty irresponsible, to say the least, to make exaggerated claims or only pump up the good parts about drugs and not any other potential negative side effects.⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣Verywell is a site put together by friends and peers of mine, all of whom believe in harm reduction, drug policy reform, and the many benefits of drug use—even when it’s recreational.⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣Here are a few snippets from articles summarizing research that has been done on Cannabis and withdrawals. If you don’t believe that exists, maybe ask some of your friends who were heavy smokers and then stopped.⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣If you think that withdrawal is only withdrawal when it’s bad enough to kill you or make you feel like you have the flu for weeks, you’re being misleading. Drug withdrawal in the broadest sense is defined as the group of symptoms that occur upon the abrupt discontinuation or decrease in intake of medications or [recreational] drugs.⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣You don’t get to pick and choose when withdrawal is not withdrawal without spreading harmfully inaccurate information.⁣ ⁣
