It’s an American Cancer Society study. It’s well known that the testes have cannabinoid receptors, so I don’t know why it’s so hard to believe.

The “or the English” part was a joke.
I don’t know anything about the American Cancer Society, but if it’s anything like the FDA, AHA, etc, we’ll have to take it with a grain of salt.

While I think this is valid in some cases, I wouldn’t say all.
It’s also a great cure for boredom. And relaxing after a squat workout. And eating a big meal after said squats.
Hmmm…intresting discussion.
I think whilst physical withdrawls are not the norm, I think it’s a bit pretentious to propose that it’s impossible for a minority users to experience SOME types of physical symptoms in reaction to ceasing use.
That being said, I wouldn’t discount the possibility that the the OP is experiencing nicotine withdrawl.
I dont smoke anymore, but when I did I’d experience some short-term memory loss(nothing major, just forgetting where I’d put something down etc) If I smoked anymore than two nights in a row. That was about as inconvenient as it got for me.
OP, just ride it out the best you can. Get out of the house in the evening. Increase physical activity. Avoid stimulants.

Dude, come on. Having smoked weed before, how can you make a blanket statement that it’s for people in a “rut” lifestyle?
Let’s see, since I started smoking weed, I:
Lost 140 pounds.
Finished High School in flying colors.
Got through my first two and a half years of college with great marks.
Managed to write a book that may go into publication fairly soon.
Didn’t Michael Phelps just get a picture taken of him with a bong? That sure is a rut lifestyle, too.
The fact is, is some of the best and brightest I’ve ever known have been pot heads. Yes, it’s holding them back. No, they’re smoking to ‘escape anything,’ suppress emotional issues, cope with hate, or any of the other bullshit spewed off on this thread.
No, they smoke pot because it’s fun. And yeah, eventually it becomes something that carries some mental dependence with it.
But then again, I bet every person on this website is only bodybuilding because they’re insecure about their small dicks and have bigorexia. And you guys only lift weights because you have no friends and nothing better to do.
Hypocrisy is fun!

It’s always different with drugs. Everyone that smokes daily has some kind of major dysfunction. Occasional usage is different, but the people that are literally high ALL the time are all fucked up. No one who genuinely likes their life would want to be high for every second of it.
Getting drunk on the weekends is fun, but have you ever seen a chronic alcoholic(drunk all the time) who wasn’t completely fucked up? It’s the same with weed, or any drug, only that pot users think they’re better than other addicts.
I started smoking weed at the start of my PhD studies and finished them no problem. Made a shitload of publications while high and they were some of my best. Granted I smoked to release creativity but I also had to edit a lot 
An yes at a very reputable institute of technology. So hard science.
I stopped because I didn’t like the “fog” anymore. It was becoming ridiculous. I still smoke from time to time with friends over a good meal and a movie. But I don’t need it to keep cool like I did before. I guess I matured
I did have trouble going to sleep for a period of 3 months but I had that even before starting smoking.
funmetal

… you’re 150 lbs and post in the bodybuilding forum- You suck
I loved my life high and I love my life not. I live with my dream girl drive my dream car and have a family and friends who care about me.
Main reason for quitting is to pass a drug test for a better job.
It’s psychologically addictive. if you suffer from it’s withdrawal, it’ll pass in a week. Like drinking 8-12 espressos per day for a year straight, then quitting, and expecting to be like you never drank them in the first place. Ofcourse you’ll be all screwed up for a few days.

I smoked weed for 7 years and the past 5 years almost every single day. Usually multiple times per day. I never had withdrawals when I quit and that was 3 months ago. You just hate being sober, don’t blame it on the weed. Punk.
Whaaaaaa?! You mean, when you quit “cold turkey” you didn’t start foaming at the mouth, having flashbacks, sweating profusely, hallucinated, got a fever of 104.8, and didn’t go into convulsions? Liar.
Oh, and I’ve done the “cold turkey” challenge (SAID PHRASE DOES NOT EXIST WITH MARIJUANA) and I ate less. Hardest transitional period of my life.
And it’s the strangest thing - I’ve known hundreds of potheads. Not people who smoke once a week, or on occasion. People who everyday… all the time. I’ve never heard of ANYTHING people are talking about on this thread from any of them after quitting. Guess they’re all just ‘lucky’ also.[/quote]
Its not like I knew about the withdrawals, I thought they didn’t exist. Then my girl and I both quit and we were both complaining of the same symptoms. I did some searching on google and found 100’s of posts of from people describing the same exact symptoms we were going through.
I posted 2 studies saying they do exist just trying to shut some of you skeptics up. If you read the studies not 100% of the people experienced withdrawals.
Appetite and sleep are only things really still bothering me, gone from 204-192 in 4-5 days.

Do you dream your dream dreams, as well? If you believed things were as good as you say you do, then you wouldn’t want to be high all the time. Perhaps you’re wanting to fix that now, which is good, but more self-delusion won’t help you.
If you love your life, then no high can compare to what you should experience every day. If you’re trying to cloud your vision, you don’t like what you’re looking at. Endey fuckin storey.

Dude, just because someone smokes everyday doesn’t mean he/she’s high all the time. I don’t smoke during the day. Only at the end of the day, after I’m done with classes, homework, the gym, and anything else that needs to be done.
It’s not like I walk in the door either and am sprinting to my room sweating, shaking, and pale trying to roll up a blunt.

Do you do anything daily that you enjoy doing? Not everyone who smokes daily hates themselves and sits on a couch, some people just enjoy smoking. Your view of twenty people who all hate their lives out of how ever many people you met is a pretty small sample size.
I know twenty people who smoke weed everyday that like themselves. Does that mean everyone who smokes weed daily likes them self? No, just because two variables are correlated, does not mean that one variable causes another.
Marijuana causes uncontrollable munchies, leads to using The Hard Stuff, and will likely make you kill someone’s sister.

Again, if I said anyone who uses any other severely mind-altering drug daily hates themselves, such as alcohol or heroin, I don’t think anyone would honestly disagree with me. Pot smokers think they’re different. This annoys me.
Of course there are things I enjoy doing daily, but these things are not altering my experience of reality to any significant degree. If I said I used crack every day ‘just because I enjoy smoking it’ no one would believe that.
