Your not gonna have much withdrawal issues as far as the weed goes, so I wouldnt worry about that too much. I smoked weed daily for 6+years and never had withdrawals from quitting, atleast compared to opiates.

I noticed your profile says your 17. I also was fairly deep into opiates when I was 17. I started taking hydrocodone 10mg when I was 16, at 17 I was snorting oxycontin and by 19 I was shooting up heroin. I am 21 now and have been clean from opiates for 8.5 months. Take it from me, stop them now before your habit gets any deeper.

As far as dealing with the withdrawals, the best thing I found was to try to stay busy. Take lots of hot showers/baths. Drink lots of gatorade, try to eat when you feel up to it. Light exercise helps too, I found myself taking short walks 3-5 times a day when I was withdrawing, just to get my mind of the withdrawals. The worst thing you can do is sit around doing nothing, just thinking about how bad your withdrawals are and how terrible you feel.

And always remember it will generally (depending on what opiates your taking) will be over in about 1.5-2 weeks. I know that seems like years when your actually withdrawing but it is totally doable, especially for young people like us. Our bodies can deal with and recover from the withdrawals alot faster than older people.
