What has happened so far

  1. 1 day

    Still in your system

    THC lingers for days. Sleep is often the first thing to be disrupted.

    NIDA

  2. 3 days

    The worst of it

    Withdrawal usually peaks between days two and six: irritability, restlessness, appetite loss and very vivid dreams.

    NIDA

What is next

7 days

The edge comes off

Irritability and appetite start settling. Sleep is usually the slowest to come back and can stay broken for several more weeks.

And what it has saved you

At the app's default of £10 a day, 3 days without cannabis is about £30 you did not spend. Put in your own figure — it takes a second.
