Why am I struggling to eat after quitting weed?
Hello, I am 22, female, I’m struggling to eat food, I feel sick and full after a few bites, my mouth takes forever to chew and break down food, I am on holiday, and have taken 3 days off from smoking weed, I only had 1 or 2 a night anyway and would eat sober in the day, I’m worried that I will lose weight or start feeling extremely weak, I don’t know what to do as it does stay down but I can only have a few bites of everything, I’m underweight as it is anyway so this is a concern, cannot be pregnancy

I see that you’re having a hard time eating and you feel nauseous, especially after only eating a little bit. This could be why you’re experiencing these symptoms while taking a break from smoking marijuana. Common factors may be withdrawal from weed or even just feeling anxious. It is important to keep yourself hydrated and try having small frequent meals. You might want to talk to a gastroenterologist for more help with your situation.
