Most regular and heavy cannabis smokers go through a detox period when they first quit weed. The withdrawal timeline tends to last between ten days to a month, and is worst in the beginning. Quitting Cannabis can produce physical and psychological withdrawal symptoms.Regular withdrawal symptoms are discussed in detail below.
Moodiness and Anxiousness!
Anxiety is one of the biggest hurdles in the first couple weeks of quitting. The anxiety that you feel during quitting is typically minor relative to a complete panic attack - but it is constant! You need to get ready to deal with the emotional and mental state you will be in for the first couple of weeks when you stop smoking. I have searched through sofa cushions,and the trash, just to find a crumb or a little nugget to smoke. I describe it as feeling like something is missing, and needing to get back to a stoned state so that you can relax again. You may notice you are holding a lot of tension and not breathing well in the first week. Keeping yourself busy will help some, but it won't make this feeling go away.

Sleepless Nights and Crazy Thoughts
Not Sleeping is a big problem in the first couple days of stopping. I have been unable to sleep for days before. This will pass. If smoking weed makes you relaxed and tired, not smoking can make you stress out and your mind race. It can take a while for your sleeping patterns to get back to normal. Generally within a month you will have more normal sleep patterns and get a good nights sleep. It is important to keep a regular sleep / wake schedule when going through marijuana withdrawal.
Quitting Weed and Wild Dreams
As any pothead knows, marijuana seems to interfere with the dreaming mechanism of consciousness and either keeps you from dreaming, or keeps you from remembering them. When you give your body a break from marijuana, the dreams come back - and sometimes with a vengeance. If you haven't dreamt in a long time, this aspect of marijuana withdrawal is very strange. Memories from years ago may resurface in dream form. I remember having a dream of classmates from high school that I hadn't seen in over 10 years!
Nightmares are normal when you go through withdrawal from marijuana. They can be vivid and involve people and places you know. I have had several dreams where I thought the world was about to end and I have woken up in a sweat before.
Some people dream about marijuana, and some smoke marijuana in their dreams. This is part of the detox process and entirely normal.
No Desire To Eat
One of the most common symptoms of marijuana withdrawal is a lack of appetite. This usually lasts for 3 to 4 days after the last time you smoke. You can almost think of it as the opposite of the munchies. Take Out doesn't taste as good without smoking pot!
It is normal if your appetite shrinks, or that you have no appetite for a couple days. You might lose some weight when you go through detoxification. The lack of [hunger] can be a part of a more general feeling of being sick that has been described as mild flu like symptoms. For the most part, most people don't go through bouts of diarrhea or nausea.
When I quit smoking weed, my eating habits improved. I have experienced the lack of hunger, and even the runs during the first week of quitting.
The Sweats
You may experience this after not smoking weed for a few days. I think it caused from the tension of not smoking weed. From my experience, I do know that the sweats dissapear right away. One trick for dealing with this, is to think of it as cleansing and that your body is boiling out the THC. Your are speeding up your detoxification by sweating it out!
