Does your attitude change after you quit smoking weed?
September 13th, 2011
My boyfriend and I have quit smoking weed for a "tolerance break" which it doesn’t matter to me weather or not we smoke, but lately he’s been moodier than usual and very grumpy and says a lot of abusive stuff that he didn’t say before when he did smoke. So I was just wondering if this was just due to a lack of smoking or what. (No trolls and only people who are going to give medical or very descriptive reasoning to this question.) Thank you.

I’m sorry he’s being such a d*ck.
Yes, after smoking pot heavily for a while, quitting can be very draining. When you’re high, you don’t realize what you’ve been putting your body through. This is just from my experience of course — but whenever I’ve quit after a long pot binge — physically I usually feel like sh*t. And psychologically — I usually feel depressed and even angry/very irritable. I think this is because it takes me a while to find something I enjoy as much as getting high.
It’s hard to argue with the fact that getting high can be amazing. And so the things I used to enjoy seem so boring and lifeless in comparison. Especially if I used to enjoy doing these activities while stoned.
However, these feelings always go away after a couple of weeks and I then start to enjoy life again sober. It just takes time.
However, in the meantime, I know that I can be an absolute @sshole to be around. And so if your bf is anything like me — please don’t take his behaviour personally. He might be just lashing out because he feels so rotten physically/emotionally.
You, I suspect, might also be feeling pretty crappy yourself. And it sounds like you must have a very kind heart to be putting up with your bf’s bullcrap right now. Please make sure to take care of your own needs and fill your spare time with things that make you happy. If you can, maybe try to ignore him and he’ll probably come around in a few days. But, don’t cater to him — because it doesn’t sound like he appreciating what a great girl he has.
If he turns physically abusive or he becomes intolerable to live with — than please get out asap! As much as you want to help your bf, your most important priority should be you!
I hope this helps a little!
I promise in a few weeks …. you guys will feel so much better. (and you’ll have saved so much money)
Probably. Some people are like that when they stop smoking weed. Just like any other drug, cigarettes, etc.
No, Not at all. If you are full determined to leave then it never happens. If you unwillingly try to leave then only it happens.
your attitude changed when YOU started to smoke weed!
addict!
It can happen, but its only temporary. Unless he’s just always been an *sshole, and weed makes him less of one.
