The side effects of quitting cannabis depends on several factors including those listed below:

  1. The medical condition you are using it to help cope with
  2. The type of cannabis product you have been using

Chronic cannabis users can and do experience withdrawal if they have a long history of heavy use. Even heavy users for moderate periods of time can exhibit withdrawal symptoms. Some withdrawal symptoms include sleep disturbance, poor appetite, and anxiety. It is advisable to slowly discontinue cannabis use if your underlying medical issue has resolved or improved.
