LOGAN PAUL has revealed that he has been suffering withdrawal symptoms after giving up smoking weed.
The YouTuber-turned-boxer announced that ‘boxing redemption’ was among his New Year ambitions as he searches for his first win in the ring.
That has led to him ditching marijuana – but he claims that led to the ‘worst week’ of 2021.
Paul, 26, posted: “Super fun New Year’s story. I quit smoking weed on December 24, been having some pretty nasty withdrawals (loss of appetite, insomnia, extreme irritability) — by far the hardest week of 2021 for me.
“Then yesterday on NYE, I got food poisoning (which was odd because all I had was a tiny croissant and a latte in the morning).
“I threw up 40+ times and spent the evening sweating in bed… AND all the pharmacies were closed so I couldn’t get any medicine.
“I was so dehydrated that I begged the only emergency ambulance in the city to hook me up to an IV so I could replenish and go out with my friends.
“They said it wasn’t possible unless they took me to the hospital. Obviously f*** that.

“In an attempt to initiate the rally of the century, I managed to put on my suit and go to the party for 10 minutes before I realised my fate was sealed.
“As I walked back home up the cold icy hill defeated and disappointed, I threw up another five times in the street. Didn’t miss a stride.”
Paul continued: “Coincidentally, this is the third New Year’s in a row where I’ve been deathly ill, so I theorised: perhaps life has made the beginning of the past few years a nightmare for me so I appreciate the remaining 364 days. I consider it an involuntary ‘reset.’
“Having been physically and mentally humbled (again), it’s only up from here.
“I’m feeling much better today, and I know this year is going to be astronomical for me.
“I hope you all grab 2022 by the f***ing horns and accomplish everything you want.”
Logan started his boxing career with a white collar draw against fellow YouTuber KSI in 2018.
The pair fought again professionally in a rematch a year later, a bout that was won by KSI.
Logan, who returned to the ring with an exhibition fight against Floyd Mayweather last summer, and KSI have now been teasing a mystery announcement for January 4.
