   Ok then, as a longer user, I do not recommend that you just double up on   
   cannabis to fight CHS/withdrawal.  It will get pretty bad.  I'm going   
   the opposite way and reducing use to a fraction, like 1/8th or so of   
   what I was using when I first discovered CHS.   
      
   Just kidding I don't smoke at all and if I did I would quit immediately.
