I use CBD infrequently for pain.

Chronic high CBD usage will result in withdrawal upon cessation.

The 5HT1A agonism aspect of CBD makes for a particularly bleak and anxiety ridden withdrawal.

Not sure if it's CBD or THC, but coming off pot makes you realise how madly your REM sleep was disturbed (or basically non existent).

Part of smoking pot I enjoy initially is amazingly deep sleep, but that can't be good in the long term.

Actually, you don't get REM when you smoke. That's why you don't dream and it's why it comes back full-swing when you stop. I occasionally smoke and drink (alcohol also disturbs REM quite a bit), but I try and do it early in the day so I can get quality sleep.
