Hello. This is the end of week 5 and the beginning of week 6. This has been an different week. The plants are doing fine and growing well. The buds are coming along great.
I have had to quite smoking cannabis because of surgery on my throat. I want it to go well, so I quite smoking. Being a pot head I smoke 4 to 5 times a day. I love the buzz, it's so much better than alcohol but smoking so much cannabis does have effects on the body.
My withdraw symptoms are, a strong feeling of meh or blaaah which last for days, my temperature is swinging for warm to cool (annoying), not as hungry or sort of off my food. Not as much mucus in my nose and lungs (which is good) and not needing to pee as much and my bowel movements are more solid. This is because my body isn't trying so hard to get rid of the cannabinoids. My psoriasis isn't as aggressive as when I smoke. I sleep better, it's easier to get to sleep and I can remember more dreams.
I have quite smoking before and the symptoms were worse. They are not as bad this time because, I smoke with a metal pipe with a foot long stem and about a year ago I started using a micro fiber cloth, cut up into small pieces to fit in my mouth piece. I noticed that the buzz wasn't quite as intense as no filter cloth so I needed a few more tokes, but I had less heavy tar in my lungs and I coughed less, my nose wasn't so plugged and and my psoriasis wasn't as bad so I continued to use a micro fiber cloth: Please look on Google for The Perfect Pipe which uses micro fiber cloth in the mouth piece. So I went to the 420 store and they didn't have any pre made micro fiber cloth filters so I looked in the cupboard when I got home and found a Sham Wow cloth and cut that up.
If anybody is looking for a new angle to get into the cannabis market or trade, you might look into mass producing micro fiber cloths filters for sale for all smoking needs. I hardly ever smoke a joint these days., but you could make a joint filter which I think would be very popular to reduce heavy tar in the lungs thus reducing the withdraw symptoms.
I'll start smoking again when I recover from having my swollen tonsil removed. I love growing and smoking. Thanks for your concern.
Good Luck. Chuck.
Sorry to hear that you had to give up smoking cannabis mate, have you tried substituting with vaporizing or edibles
@Chucky324, That's good to hear mate I'm glad that your recovering well, take it easy buddy and keep growing those beautiful looking plants of yours :wink:
@DankLandDownUnder,Hello Friend. Thanks for your concern but once I recover from my surgery I will start smoking again. I guess I had better add that to my last report. I had my tonsil removed yesterday and am doing good. I heard before the operation that it is very painful but it only hurts when I swallow. Best wishes, Chuck.
