How To Deal With Withdrawal Symptoms Of Quitting Pot, Alcohol And Tobacco Products?

Im 19 and have been a pot smoker for about 6 years two of which were every single day. I started developing a swelling feeling in my throat glands and tonsils, a roughness to my throat, paranoia, shakes, and nausea. This would happen every once in a while if i smoked a large amount but not very bad and would go away after a half hour or so. The past month it has become terrible, i had never even considered medical attention for it till now. Iv'e forced myself to quit smoking which is very difficult. I used to assist with sleep and stress, I spent a good amount of last year smoking tobacco products and drinking alcohol but have pretty completely removed both of those from my life. Im at a total loss iv'e never had anything like this, no clue what to do.

My dear friend, you are suffering from cannabis dependence syndrome and you are having strong craving for pot. When you try to quit you get withdrawal symptoms. One solution is to visit a deaddiction centre where you will get some sedatives or anti anxiety drugs which can calm down the withdrawal symptoms and help you to quit easily pot.
