I thought quiting whould be pretty hard, b/c i had to not b/c i wanted to *Military*. I had been smokeing since i was 13 pretty much every day. All my freinds are 100% stoners. The only anoying part was when friends are smokeing passing it around they always want to pass it to you then say..."HAHA sorry dude i forgot!" But when i had to i did, i started feeling better more outgoing, felt like i had more time during the day. And got to love the money you can save to spend on yourself or others!

Excederine PM helps me sleep, if I can't, I won't take a prescription drug, or drug to do so. Good luck!!!

another thing that's been driving me crazy lately is the fact that I am having a lot of trouble remembering people's/place's names.

I quit all the time! Sounds funny but it's true. I have smoked for over twenty years and the only problem I see with it are the employment drug tests. In my job I am HEAVILY drug tested for the eight months I work every year. During the summer I pretty much just disappear for 3-4 months and have no problem smoking for the first 2-3 months of my time off. When I begin my time off usually the 1st thing I do is take a trip to amsterdam. You have to understand the problem with weed isn't that it is dangerous or addictive it is that people test for it. Back to the quitting. Stay clear of it to begin with. for the 1st week or two it will be too tempting to decide to burn one and start all over. Keep yourself occupied and clean your living environment of pipes, bongs, papers, roaches etc. As for the insomnia I really can't help you there cuz i have suffered from insomnia my whole life, I can't just go to sleep i have to fall asleep watching tv or reading a book. You are going to have to deal with the oral fixation too. That is the worst part for me but I also smoke cigarettes so in the beginning I smoke alot more cigarettes and a few cigars, way worse for you then the weed but you do what you have to do. You always need to have a bunch of snack food around because appetite or not you are trying to substitute an oral fixation so I try to get healthy choices like grapes or berries anything other then potato chips. As far as night sweats go I just keep my place cold all the time but when im quitting i spend more time on top of the covers. Have plenty of things to keep you occupied like books movies, or mess around online like im doing now cuz its time to kick again for the fall. As for the dopamine and adrenaline I am a motocross junkie and I spend alot of time out riding especially when it's time to quit. I like to spend the first few days in the woods cuz it keeps me away from the temptation and after having an adrenaline rush all day I feel something more incredible then a weed high at the end of the day. not sure what else to tell you other then to keep in mind you are mainly dealing with an oral fixation and keep that in mind. Maybe try smoking shisha from a hooka or smoking a pipe. After the 1st week or two you are golden though. Hope something I said helps.

I have discovered...well not really discovered...but Tylonol PM for sleeping.
It's not addictive
not habit forming...(almost)
and in 30 minutes...Out like a light.

Quitting has been a lot harder than I thought. But that's b/c all of my friends are smokers...that makes a huge difference!

Good luck with the good fight!

dude, its easy to quit weed since its not addictive like cigz....

i quit for a week every once in a while.. im actually on my 2nd day right now.. its not hard at all.. if u smoke... smokin is a good substitute.. but yea its not hard cuz its not addicting.

I have. I used for 11 years, non stop and it was hard. I went throught the lack of sleep thing, loss of appetite, and even profuse sweating. You just have to hang in there, it will get better, I promise you that!

Once you do quit you will notice, better and more sound sleep, a heartier appetite, clearer thought processing, and handling of your emotions and life a little bit better. You have to remember that when you started using, a certain part of your brain slowed in its devlopment. That part is the part that handles your rational thought process, handling your emotions better, and an overall maturing process. It has taken me a while to see the difference but there is one and its way better....good luck and Godbless.

That can't sleep stuff is in your head. Take Valerian root, two capsules before bedtime. Stop trying to make excuses to burn one. it's easy to quit. just stop, and wait three days for the attitude adjustment and two weeks for the mental adjustment.

This is for Anonymous (comment number 10). They said they smoked only for 2 months and are still paranoid and suffering from anxiety. I'm bipolar and weed can set off the symptoms. Maybe check to find out if you have a mood disorder.
