Hi, I'm 22M and for the past 2 weeks I have been trying to quit cannabis. I began smoking early 20, which has currently ramped to daily chronic smoking.
I began quitting around 2 weeks ago when I first stopped smoking after developing a smoker's cough, which I'm glad to say is recovering very nicely at this point. The first week I would still hit a cannabis vape, but not anywhere near as much as what was typical for my usage, that being smoking once daily and vaping multiple times daily. I would also have a cigarette occasionally, but that was more socially and it has been nice also not touching cigarettes (never touched nicotine vapes; incredibly thankful for that). The real trouble would come after the first week when I stopped vaping cannabis
All things considered quitting is moderately difficult, but not for any of the reasons I thought. I haven't had any trouble sleeping, no increased irritability or anxiety, no brainfog, and no cravings or urges. The one symptom I am having trouble to no end with however, is having absolutely no appetite.
I've never had any issues with eating or appetite in the past and I normally eat multiple meals a day (2-3), but now I'm having trouble eating anything substantial. Last night I took an edible and it was the first time I ate a full meal in the past week and it still took an hour of me slowly eating to finish. The 3 days previous that I ate a small macaroni cup day 1, half a chicken sandwich day 2, and a mini pizza day 3. I just tried eating again today an hour ago, ramen and eggs. I got halfway through and after 30 minutes I vomited (not the first time I've vomited this past week either).
I would honestly say that quitting would be easy for me, minus the fact of literally not being able to eat. The edible is the only thing that gave me an appetite, but that's not a long term solution. If there's anything that can help give me an appetite, whether it's medication, supplements, or physical activity I will try it, I am desperate.
Thank you for reading and thank you for your future responses.
