Q: Showing Symptoms When Quitting Marijuana

Before I started smoking marijuana, I was constantly depressed, hardly ever ate, I passed out frequently because I was so weak during the day. I had severe insomnia.. My sleeping habits were staying up for 2 days then sleeping a little on the third. I was too young to afford myself a doctor (it started when I was 10). So, of course as I got a few years older I got into the habit of smoking marijuana. Besides it being illegal I saw no other downfall. And it helped tremendously. Just smoking before bed I could eat, sleep a full nights rest, wake up refreshed, have tons of energy in the day (and I was a star at work for that), and be happy because I looked forward to it every night. Well it isn't so easy finding a good job nowadays without a ua, but I really needed a step up in life. So I quit smoking... After 6 years of constant repetitive routine. Everything came rolling back, i've lost alot of weight... Too much. I don't even feel like going into work half the time because i'm so tired from trying to sleep the night before. So its making a chain of not going to work, being poor, and not having money to do anything about what's causing it. Any suggestions??

I'd go to the doctor and see what is really wrong. I don't want to tell you to start smoking again because there may be something else wrong deep down or something. I do smoke weed and I don't think it is bad, if you can handle it and go on with your normal life then I think people should be able to smoke it. But go see a doc if you haven't already....this post was kinda old.
