Shes gonna have mood swings for a while, of course the intensity and duration will depend on the length of time shes been smoking and how much. I would seriously suggest if she quits, to quit cold turkey. For one marijuana does not really have too much in the way of physical withdrawal and she will be more likely to relapse if she continues to smoke even once and a while. She needs to quit and find something constuctive to do instead. Also her friends will probably play a big role, if she is a social smoker. Coming from an ex "pothead" friends that smoke are pretty much the biggest obstacle in quittting, since marijuana isnt a hard drug and often a small relapse doesnt seem like a big deal, but it continues the pyschological dependance.

I used to be a heavy marijuana smoker and I know that the reason my habit became so bad was because of the people I was around. I didn't even like smoking it, as a matter of fact, I hated the taste, and it made me sick. But I still did it 4-5 times a day because all of my friends did it. Yes it's ridiculous I know. My mother (bless her heart) finally got so tired of my friends bringing me down, it seemed that her only option was to move me to another city where I could make new friends. I hated the idea, we actually had a huge argument about it. But we moved anyway. She didn't move me to a city, she actually moved me to a town that had approximately 500 people living there. What a culture shock. This sacrifice that my mother made for me, saved my life. I began hanging around with people that didn't use drugs and actually cared about school. I haven't touched marijuana since. The friends that your daughter hangs around with have a huge part in the decisions that she makes. I am speaking from personal experience. I really started to go down a bad path and my mother saw that and did something about it. At the time I was really upset about the relocation, but now that I am older, I am so thankful that she did what she did. So as a parent, you need to look at other things just besides the drug use, is your child hanging out with "bad" kids, is the marijuana use effecting school? I'm not telling you to move to another city or anything, I was telling you what my mother did to save my life when it seemed that nothing else would help. Good luck.

Wow, davi my situation was really similar. I didn't move away from my friends tho... But I smoked a lot because of the people I was around, even tho I hated it. I never realized I hated it tho... I would just get quiet and awkward when high and I hated being around people. I still kept doing it though... Because my friends did it all the time. When I got to university I smoked even more.. Until one of my best friends who means a lot to me, and who doesn't smoke, called me a stoner. I probably was, but it hurt coming from her, and from that moment on I cut it out cold turkey. It's worked for me too.. Since then i've felt a lot better about myself and I laugh a lot more (go figure lol). I've also managed to snag a girlfriend. I guess my point is, that I would recommend cutting it out cold turkey.

Hi there! I am sorry to hear of your problems! Being an epileptic and having a chemical dependency problem such as hash can be a double problem because she does need some medications for her epilepsy. My suggestion would be to talk to the dr even though I am not a dr if she continues to keep the hash in her system, she is going to have problems and getting off of it cold turkey might make her epilepsy worse but it does sound to me like she does need some better friends as the others have suggested. It does sound like she wants to get off of it but it does sound like she is scared and needs help and like I said, maybe her dr can give her this help that she really needs, if they are that close as it does sound like she might need some professional guidance along with a type of a friend guidance and her mother guidance.
Good luck to the both of you! We are here for you both!
Keep us posted.
