I was a regular dabber for years when I quit cold turkey in anticipation of drug tests during job applications. I was completely sober for 8 months and when I got hired without a drug test I was so mad. I was expecting more drastic changes during sobriety but the only thing I noticed was the return of dreams. I hadn’t really noticed their absence during my decades of cannabis use but while sober they were much more vivid and outlandish than I remember them being. They’ve since disappeared again once I resumed dabbing shortly after starting work.

Sooo vivid. Like too vivid. Like scarringly vivid. Be careful easing off the pot, that’s all I’ll say.

  I was also taking prozac when I was easing off wed. I had a zombie Apocalypse and meth addict dad, they were very vivid and frightening. I asked my psychologist abt it and she added a different med, they didn’t work. I felt less depressed and anxious so I came off Prozac and smoking again. No more dreams, that I can remember.

Same thing happened to me. I quit wake-and-baking about five and a half years ago because I felt it had just taken over too much of my life. Shortly afterward I became a school bus driver, which requires an initial drug screening and then you’re subject to random tests thereafter. I’m a little pissed that I’ve never been selected for the random test, which means I could have been happily puffing away for the last five years.

The dreams are insanely weird and happen every time I sleep, even just a short nap. Most of the dreams are about me messing up driving a school bus and losing my job; one dream was me driving through high school hallways with kids scattering in all directions while thinking I really shouldn’t be doing this. I never dreamed at all when I was smoking.
