Quit nicotine two weeks ago, vaping, cigs, patches, everything, done with it. I’m going nuts if I’m being honest. It was fine the first week, which I guess was weird, but the this last week has been a nightmare, everything I do is difficult and annoying I’m itchy all over, can’t focus on anything, I have cried like seven times since yesterday over the dumbest things. I dropped my chopsticks on the ground, and cried as I was cleaning them because they were dirty I guess?

Nicotine makes my anxiety way worse and I have known for years that I need to stop, but it helped me get off hard drugs so I was partial to it and always made excuses. Finally decided to do it with my partners support. It’s been hard, but I’m gonna do it.

      The amount, you mean? Well, I think it creates a bigger pharmacological dependency although most probably the psychological effect is even harder. If you smoke around two packages a day you basically end up having smoke in your lungs every time you’re awake. I’ve known people who wake up in the middle of the night just to smoke, their brains tell them Smoke, Smoke, while showering, all the time. It gets harder to quit at those levels.

        sounds risky even tho the seeds are easy to get on ebay. i’m sure there are studies proving it can have useful effects but if it’s too dangerous prob not worth it

            tobacco… I’m pretty sure it’s legal. there is also hemp (some strains have little or no THC) but that does have CBD which is pretty useful medicinally
