I've quit pot twice already and was probably the easiest addiction to break, BUT, the symptoms and sensations are very real.

There is this feeling of grouped-up nervous energy in my chest and it always gets worse at night. I'm trying to push thru tho.

I found a link on Reddit of a user jotting down 200 benefits of quitting pot. Have a look.

Thank you for this post and your link... I too struggle with addiction to marijuana and that list reminds me of all the things that I tend to forget when I am indulging my addiction... One thing I am noticing more lately is I think it is effecting my moods with more harm than good.. as I have been a long time smoker... I am noticing more panic attack like symptoms at times...maybe that is somewhat environmental too, or a bad strain, who knows?? ...Anyway ...I do agree with you, it can at times definitley affect moods and make us less motivated...and if you/we have a MI as well or any mood disorders ...I am told it can do more harm than good.... Even if at times if we try to convince ourselves otherwise... I wish you and all of us the best, with the struggle with this internal conflict that we share....
