i stopped sevral times at first too. no effects but I gradually got to
smoking every day and by that time having one was just to make me feel
'normal'. I remained like that for years. I was toatlly shocked at what
happened when I did stop! Within weeks I had a stomach ulcer. as well as all
the other effects I already mentioned. And like evrybody else, I had no idea
what was happening to me and certainly did not put it down to stopping the
dope. I then just happened find the info on the withdrawal effects some
people experince whent hey stop after long term use. It took months fo it
all to stop and in many can take up to 12 mths. A friend whi is a Dr(MD)
confirmed it for me too as she had the gen on it too. She too had been a
heavy pot smoker.
You know, i carried on smoking long after it stopped making me high. Mainly
because whilst I could stop for 1-2 days, by the 3rd I just felt awful. But
of course, like evryone else, I thought it was harmless, non addicting and
no withdrawl. Had I known this wasn't the case, I might have stopped sooner
becasue I would have been expecting the shit to hit the fan and worked
around it. as itwas, Is topped with no grreat effort at all and was sick for
3 months. The reason i stoopped? Whereas like I said the high had lomng gone
and it was juts making me feel 'normal', it then started making me feel
awful as soon as I lit up and took a few puffs. So it was easy to leave it
alone.
