How Long Will It Take To Cure The Withdrawal Symptoms Of Cannabis?

Hi, i am 22 years old and have been smoking cannabis from 17 - 22. I quit late june this year - making it 6 months. However, since i quit i feel hazy, fogged, bad memory, social anxiety, short attention span and lack of motivation. when will this go away? when will i improve and return to normality? - i know people that have taken anti-depressents to help the process, but i am firmly against it, and just want to know how long it will take to feel normal and function with stability

Dear User,

Thanks for using health care magic.

It generally takes from one to four weeks. In most of the cases where withdrawal last longer than four weeks it indicates there is some other disorder which was medicated with help of cannabis.
I respect your opposition to antideprassants but there are other options which will smooth down your recovery from cannabis.
