Hahaha - this is my train of thought too! Didn’t smoke for the month of November as an experiment. Started dreaming vividly, but no improvement in my awake state.

I’m assuming a 1-month break probably wasn’t enough for my brain to re-build neural connections… but how long of a break is! Maybe I’ll try again?

How are you ‘figuring this out’?

I've had an almost identical experience, stopped smoking last year for less than a month. Terrible dreams that left me exhausted during the day, and if anything worsened ADHD symptoms. I'm also thinking it wasn't long enough but it sure is a tough experiment.

Figuring it out just meant I'm trying again now.

I needed to give up weed for a while for a hormone test. A month is exactly how long I had to take a break.

It takes 30 days to detox from weed entirely. So a month is the minimum, personally I've found I don't start noticing improvement until I've been sober for about three months, because sleep gets messed up for longer than it takes to detox. You have to go all the way through the withdrawal symptoms until you're sleeping healthily again, then you'll start to notice improvements in life. Small, incremental improvements.
