The First 48, 7 Day THC Purge: Part 2 of 5

The first 48 hours are so crucial. If I chipped and toked, my credibility and the experiment go right down the toilet. Truthfully, I didn’t fear withdrawal, but I feared boredom. No turning back…

Day One

I took my last dab at 7:10pm at night. I missed my good night dab, but got to bed just fine without it. I do remember falling asleep anxious about the coming day though. I had the next day off and there are few things I love more than waking and baking.

As I suspected, the morning of my day off and first dabless day got off to a bored-as-shit start. Obviously, physically I was fine—had I been working I wouldn’t be toking till about 4:20 anyway. However, the morning routine sans errl did suck. Whatever, I’m a big boy—I ate breakfast (no loss of appetite) and started my day.

This isn’t Facebook so I won’t bore you with the details of my day-off errands. Came home exhausted and fell right out. I can’t lie—I really wanted a dab, but I was fine.

Day Two

Day two was a work day and it started off stressfully. Knowing ahead of time that irritability was a possible side effect of THC withdrawal, this was kinda scary. I should note here that I do not EVER toke on the clock. Public safety is a facet of my job and I take it very seriously. Keep that in mind throughout this series. Moving on, even though I don’t burn at work I sure as hell look forward to doing it when I get out—what real toker doesn’t?

This experiment is about honesty as much as it is science. It is worth noting that I was stressed thinking about not being able to dab. I got home, replaced my 420 dab with a brewsky and hit the couch. Football was on, which helped a lot. A single beer and football got me through the first half of day two.

Dinner time brought the first noticeable effect, appetite gone. Dinner was amazing, like so many others. I should have eaten it like I was going to the electric chair but I barely took four bites. Another beer sure sounded good, but booze is such a cop out. Channel surfing was cool for a little bit, but where I normally would’ve stayed up later, without dabs I turned in early.
