Question

Help answer this question below.

Has anyone quit smoking marijuana? How hard was it, and how many times did you try? Is there any substitute (non-addictive) for when you can't sleep and are going crazy?

    I don't know if you've read Allen Carr's Easy Way to quit smoking, but it is a great book. In it, Carr shows how to quit smoking a drug many times more addictive than pot, nicotine. And he said the same tecnique would probably work for any drug. Carr's bottom line: why do we consume any drugs (legal or not)? Because somewhere in our minds, we have become convinced somwhere down the line that we are incomplete with that drug. We "need" our "crutch" - be it the cigarette, the beer, or the joint (or bong). The minute you realize that you are a fully complete person the way nature created you, without any need to inject drugs, you will be on your way to quitting any drug. I agree with Carr that this line of thinking can help anyone quit pretty much anything.

    Second point: In our brain there is a pharmacy of natural drugs which are unbelievably powerful and can get you high as a kite. Have you ever been jogging for 40 minutes? The feeling after even a light jog is exhilaterating, and can compete with any marijuana high. So do the things that nature has programmed your brain to reward you with - exercise! My theory is that joggers and people who exercise are basically drug addicts - they're hooked on the dopamines that your brain naturally releases. And the results are fantastic! You get stoned minus the lung damage and short term memory loss.

    So replace your pot smoking with any form of regular exercise (build it up over time) and enjoy being stoned. That's my take on it... good luck.
