I hope the weed you were addicted too wasn’t laced. That was happening to me for awhile. I recommend Tylenol lots of water and replace caffeine instead. Oh and a lot of rest.

Should take about 2 weeks
Water?
Dehydration can cause cramps and/or headaches.
Put some electrolytes in it, or a little salt if you have none - for better absorbtion.
Its also quicker absorbed if its body temp, not cold.

Im not sure if this is up your alley but....amino acids.

Its not a main stream, well known thing, but on videos on health recovery, some stuff came up about overcoming addiction and how some vitamins and aminos have been shown to increase addiction reversal on some pretty serious drugs.

I think you can get them in capsules and powder forms. Powder tastes 'yeaugh' - i take it like a "shot" for muscle recovery.
But i imagine itd be worth a try.


Also - vitamin D. Vit D effects ALL bodily systems and is a kinda super healer. We all lack it.
So get some sun - 20 min a day - it's free, and studies are showing it speeds up all sorts of recovery.

Good luck 💪👍

@OogieBoogie ohhh ok I will try that

Yeah, get some exercise and eat some chocolate and stay hydrated

Weed isn't especially addictive, but serotonin and dopamine are, and it causes both to be released

Have raw cacao powder instead.
OceanicLilly · 22-25, F
@GeistInTheMachine oh really wow I will try how do you take it
GeistInTheMachine · 31-35, M
@OceanicLilly I just start with a spoonful or two and see how I feel.

You can make hot chocolate or bake with it, too. It has natural compounds and amino acids in it that affect dopamine and serotonin.

It's okay in moderation, as long as you don't have Phenylketonuria (PKU) (or hyperphenylalaninemia), a rare inherited metabolic disorder where your body can't properly break down the amino acid phenylalanine.

Just make sure it's 100 percent unprocessed raw cacao.

You don't want Dutch or pre-processed cocoa powder. That's different, as the active compounds are diminished. It's easy to get confused between cacao and cocoa.

I wouldn't take it with MAOI medications either, to be safe. Just how you shouldn't smoke weed if you take strong medicines like antidepressants, so you don't get serotonin syndrome.

@GeistInTheMachine that's smart, should get enough serotonin and dopamine to avoid withdrawal

Have a glass of wine.
OceanicLilly · 22-25, F
@Sapio I can't drink
Sapio · 51-55, M
@OceanicLilly ween yourself slowly off marijuana then. Don't just quit cold turkey.
OceanicLilly · 22-25, F
@Sapio ok I will do that

I've reached a point where I can go on or off of weed at will. Prior to starting smoking it again in 12/2023, I was off weed for 11 years. I was also off weed for the last 3 months of 2025 and am off now, last having smoked at the beginning of August 2026. I'll probably start again later this year.
OceanicLilly · 22-25, F
@ElyssTTTrucks thanks - any tips?
ElyssTTTrucks · 100+, M
@OceanicLilly Going cold turkey would be better than trying to gradually whittle it down. The latter just reinforces the addiction. Maybe try going without for at least a few weeks, maybe even a few months. The idea is to reach a point where you control the weed consumption, and not where it controls you.
@ElyssTTTrucks thats not necessarily true🤷‍♀

There are so many factors involved with drug addiction and choice of treatment;
- Lifestyle
- Length of use
- Severity of use
- Body chemistry
- money
- time
- commitments
- support system if any
....and ones personal nature towards drugs.

I get cold turkey worked for you, and thats great l, but it's been proven not to work for everyone.

In fact, in some cases, (either way, ie cold turkey or weaning, it can be dangerous to do the wrong one).
plankter979 · 51-55, M
Ive been there. Go cold turkey in a new context ideally. A weekend trip even. Then ease back to a bowl once in a while with classic hippie weed, not genetically engineered corporate junk that f's you up.
OceanicLilly · 22-25, F
@plankter979 thanks I'll try that
OceanicLilly · 22-25, F
@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout mwahhahahaaha that's entirely the reason why I dont' do coke.
AthrillatheHunt · 56-60, M
Convivial · 26-30, F
Maybe taper off rather than cold turkey?
OceanicLilly · 22-25, F
@Convivial I can't really I'm an all or nothing person when it comes to pleasure lol
Convivial · 26-30, F
@OceanicLilly that does make it difficult...
BB8377 · 41-45, M
Well that's the outcome , when we don't have self control on things .
OceanicLilly · 22-25, F
@BB8377 yeah obviously
