That's a matter of opinion, Monde. I know I'm not the only poster
here for whom pot makes me extremely uncomfortable. Added to
withdrawal, I find it unbearable.

I used to think that it helped, but I came around to the view
that while I liked the idea that it helped, it actually didn't
help at all -- if anything, it made things much worse.

Hey Pete,

You're not alone, Marijuana never worked for me either.  I used to
love it the first two years I was doing drugs, then it seemed that my
chemistry changed in such a way that I got weird on it.  I tried to
use it during withdrawal a few times and it made me want to cop dope
even more.

        I agree somewhat about pot suring withdrawal. The ultimate WORST was
acid during detox, and the second worst was cocaine during withdrawal.

Like an idiot I tried it, knowing full well it was going to shoot my
blood pressure out the window, many times to try and get energy. The
only drug I found helpful (and of course not for everybody) was any
kind of sedative/hypnotic such as halcion or valium. Still then I
would doze for an hour and wake up sweating and screaming. At least it
made one hour pass with out me knowing.
