Gotta do without for awhile

[getoutdoors22]

Hi all, new poster here. I’ve been using weed to medicate my insomnia for a couple years now, usually just a joint of Skywalker an hour before bed, at least six days a week. I’m traveling out of the country for a couple months and plan to do without medication for the duration. I have a background in psychology, been reading lots of research about marijuana withdrawal syndrome. Based on the research it looks like I’m in for a couple weeks of (and I quote) irritability, anxiety, decreased appetite, restlessness, and sleep difficulties (ugh), but after that I should be out of the woods. Have you been in situations like this before, like having to go without medication for an extended period of time? What happened? How long did the withdrawal last, if it happened at all? Thanks in advance!

Most countries CBD oil is legal in now. That might help.

Also I find ginger either fresh or tablets from the chemist helps with the sickness and lack of appetite

I don't find it addictive at all. You should have no problem going without for a couple of *months, especially since you'll be in a different environment. Edited March 29, 2018 by Ford Fairlane

In the UK CBD oil is now sold in health food shop and even in at least 1 big department store. The US as we all know is mostly legal now and so is the majority of Europe.

"............about 9% of those who use cannabis present with characteristic symptoms of dependence according to DSM-IV criteria (Volkow et al. 2014a)."

What's funny is cannabis was not considered illegal when The Big Book was written which is the basic text for all 12 step/ addiction recovery.
