hi
thanks for choosing healthcare magic

Marijuana has been used as an aphrodisiac for thousands of years, yet ironically it has also been used to decrease sexual desire. Chronic use for cannabis leads ti decrease in sexual desire. In your case, if u have left it 2 months ago, still u r not getting desire that means it may be due to depressive symptoms which have occurred after leaving a stimulant like weed.

Thanks
