No, I agree it is a pretty ridiculous exaggeration. There are no real 'toxins' to get rid of. A few miniscule metabolites in your fat cells to burn off maybe. I see how it could feel like a detox to someone though, it's a mind altering substance, and the mind is a funny thing. Life just sucks worse without pot, thats all.
We all know weed is a pretty good general analgesic, anti-inflammatory, immune booster, mood elevator/enhancer to name but a few of the positive benefits of indulging in the reefer. so it does stand to reason that being absent those beneficial effects could bring about a "re-adjustment period" that is going to effect different people to differing degrees. I got mine done to the day Day 1 of no weed: not too bad, still residual THC is the system though do have the craving Day2: worse craving and moodiness starts in Day 3: I'm a bastard Day 4: I get hit with overwhelming out of this world anxiety and "stay in bed with the covers over my head" kinda moods. Day 5: Energy level rebounds, dreams rebound. sleep deeper and overall better, not as grouchy, mood returns to normal day 6: I could smoke a bowl or not smoke for another 6 months, no biggie. But I also cringe at the use of "de-tox" and "withdrawal" when used regarding weed. And as the wise wolf mentioned, no real toxins to flush out of the system. Even with heroin, opium, or morphine addiction the bitch isn't because your flushing toxins out of your system, it's because your body stopped producing all the natural endorphins and shit that the opiates mimic. Withdrawal is the time lag between you stopping using the drug and your body beginning production of the natural chemicals again. That's why it hurts so fucking bad, you have NO pain killers in your system, natural or otherwise.
I'm with ya all the way to about the last part of day 5 lol Shit I'm a crazy fuckin' blues musician, man I ain't never had a 'normal mood'. Ever hear that song "Can't be satisfied" by Muddy Waters? Thats how I get after while when I don't get my 'medications' as they say...
This is the best explanation of opiate withdrawal ever. lol You don't know how many times I have had to explain... nay... BEAT this into my lil bros mind not to mention pretty much everyone IRL that finds out I had/have an addiction. They fucking question me like I am some alien or someshit.
yes,, but need a certain level to be pain free. or forgetting that Im in pain. it does not cure the pain, it distracts me so I can do other things and not focus on it. if im rolling a doobie. Im not thinking about my arm on fire. Its (pain)only recently been coming back full . so Ill probably get back on some hormone therapy since it works the last time.. my Testosterone levels are to high. and my estrogen levels are low. maybe cannabis mimics estrogen, so Im not feeling pain while using it. but it does not remain constant.
alright, dont they sell that fake weed shit whereever you guyz are at? here it is called k2, and the brands are like, wtf,scooby snacks,cloud nine etc. i personally dont like the stuff, but a lot of ppl smoke it here cuz well bud is illegal, and you can just sit and smoke it in front of a cop. not to mention just buy it at the store.
I get all kinds of synthetics. fake cannabis isnt one of them... If I ever run out of cannabis. I have an ounce or two of Datura..
dont know what datura is, but im with you on the k2 crap. either real or no deal lol k2 is evil stuff
pretty sure there is a legal buds/spice thread somewhere. and NO in GA it is illegal everywhere to sell/ possess. but many places do still sell it but under teh table.
smoke a fake weed to get high, is like taking nbome to trip.. you better know what your playing with.. thats for my buddy pork. cause he hasnt said it yet. but Im sure he knows Im irresponsible with the nbome.
