Dependence, Tolerance and Withdrawal
For many people who use cannabis, dependence and withdrawal is not an issue. For regular consumers, discontinuation of consumption can lead to a number of symptoms including:
- Anxiety
- Problems sleeping
- Weakness
- Sweating
- Restlessness
- Dysphoria (feeling of general unease)
- Nausea
- Craving for cannabis
- Stomach pain
Regular cannabis users do face the possibility of becoming tolerant to THC. This depends on the dose, frequency of consumption and your own DNA. Taking a break from consuming cannabis for 1-2 weeks can help bring your tolerance back down.
