- Quitting weed was the best thing that I have done in my life- I don’t have the urge to smoke weed anymore- The urge to smoke went way down from day 5 to day 7- Now on day 54, there is no urge. I don’t think about getting high. I don’t miss getting high.- If I see someone smoking a joint in a movie or in real life, for the first time in a long time, I don’t want to smoke a joint too- So for the folks that are trying to quit or just starting to quit, the urge to smoke and get high does go away. It does.
