cannabis withdrawal

Cannabis withdrawal occurs when someone who has been using cannabis regularly stops or significantly reduces their intake. People may experience various symptoms, such as irritability, anxiety, sleep disturbances, changes in appetite, and cravings for cannabis. These symptoms can vary in intensity and duration, usually peaking within the first week and potentially lasting for several weeks. Withdrawal reflects the body adjusting to the absence of THC, the active compound in cannabis. While not typically life-threatening, it can be uncomfortable and may impact daily functioning, prompting some individuals to seek support for their recovery.
