Hello,
Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.
I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.
It simply means that you are dependent on cannabis and nicotine. Both of them can cause withdrawal symptoms and will require soome therapy. For nicotine you may try nico gums to suppliment nicotine for the period you are off it.For cannabis you may start on some benzodiazepines to reduce the accompanying anxiety.
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
