Gotta do without for awhile
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!

Yes, many times.
What happened? How long did the withdrawal last, if it happened at all?
Everything becomes more boring. No physical withdrawal. A drink or two, or focusing on a particular activity, helps alleviate the boring sensation.
Quit smoking both cigarettes and cannabis for 6 weeks after surgery once...no issue with the cannabis, but a huge psychological withdrawal from the cigarettes as I was tapered off the opiates.
Quit smoking cannabis once for 3 months while searching for a job...no issues.
I often quit smoking cannabis for a week or so when visiting my folks...generally no problem, except when a lot of physical activity causes inflammation pain, in which case I substitute anti-inflammatories and/or some alcohol.
