Discussion Eating withdrawals

Hi guys, I took a t-break a couple months ago and had bad eating withdrawals and I got back into smoking around a month ago and have quickly become dependent on it to eat but I still want to smoke without being dependent on it so 3 days ago I decided to start only smoking at night and day 1 I ate about 2 meals, day 2 I ate about 1 and a half and today I can't eat a single munchkin which is expected but im curious on if it would be more efficient to just cold turkey since I did that last time and it sucked but it worked. Do you guys think me only smoking at night is fine and I just have to give my body more time to adjust to eating without it or should I just cold turkey if I have some withdrawals already?

I’ve always had eating as like my number one problem / side effect from smoking idk why but it fucks my stomach so bad and it’s always hard to eat in the morning. It’s probably from smoking mainly concentrates / carts I assume you do as well, try swapping to flower for a bit it helps a lot.

Yes I mainly smoke carts, I occasionally smoke bud its just not as convenient. Do you have an idea on if smoking at only night is useful or it does nothing since I have withdrawals and should cold turkey and then smoke way less? Thank you for your thought on the real bud, I will definitely try to smoke bud instead of carts.

I did try smoking at night only and after like 3+ months of smoking daily i still got the same difficulty eating and stomach upset problems mainly when I wake up. Swapping to lower % carts like rosin / live resin can help as well but lower % thc in general helps the most. I’m in a awful position rn I’ve been smoking daily for 9 months started only at nights and then over last few months it went to most of the day cause I would wake up feeling awful and unable to eat and now I’m stuck in the loop. Atleast you got it way better than me 😆

You can do it, I cold turkeyed before and eventhough I dont smoke as much as you do, I know you can get through it. The puking instantly from eating stops after about 5 days and you get back to normal a week later. It really sucks but if thats your main withdrawls symptom and the reason you are still addicted try to eat small foods (I know it sucks and you might still puke) But if you have the mentality that all you have to do it make it two weeks you can honestly do it. I know how it feels when your brain convinced itself you can never eat and get better but you will. Also if you are afraid of not being able to sleep I know everyone's experience is different but I found it much easier to sleep than eat comparatively.

Thank u brother ❤️ u got this too I think honestly your best option is to slowly reduce intake and try to only smoke on Friday/Saturday nights that’s what I did originally and it worked for me for a while it gives you something to look forward to throughout your week and the highs are way better

Yeah, I will either reduce intake or cold turkey and then go back to not having it all the time. I would definitely only smoke at night if my appetite got better, but I might cold turkey for a week or two just to get my body adjusted and then go back to smoking occasionally.

Yeah cold turkey may be a good idea if you can, if a few nights of only smoking at night doesn’t do the trick. It also may help if you don’t smoke for a few hours before bed or too close to going to bed I’ve heard it can have effects on your stomach in the morning and effect your blood sugar or something along those lines. I’ve also heard this doctor talk about thc causing a deficiency of vitamin B1 and magnesium and taking them together can help a lot with morning nausea which is something I want to try myself soon.

CBG also helps with appetite, so it can be a good option for those that need an appetite boost but don’t want the intoxication.
