i was a heavy cannabis smoker, i had an extremely difficult coming off it, took years to overcome fully cannabis stuffed up my social well being, it made me a petty crim just to score after score. Lucky it wasnt 'white' - far more dangerous and far more expesive - meaning thieving far more.
Psychologically cannabis is more potent than people realise it saps motivation, saps imagination (ironically stoned as would have you believeing you're very creative) ....subtle dependence made it very Very difficult go go without it. Its not eh cranky bit like coffee withdrawl its more a fight of depression to stay stoned....'stoned' would have you relaxed.......so tolerance to anything slightly edgy was extremely low, made my life miserable for a damn long time.
But I recoverd....ffrom cannabis addiction for well over 15 years now...
i never looked back
so there I've raised a hand to say " i was one, and i recovered got lots of stories but rather not spill it all out' but happy to share a few....when time's right but otherwise id keep it to myself OK
cheers
