Marijuana is NOT a CHEMICALLY addictive herb.
It's all in the mind.
Sex is just as addictive as Marijuana.
Giving up Marijuana is as hard as giving up sex.
you just have to train youirself, if you really want to quit.

I've quit several times... it's no big deal.
Craving marijuana is no different than craving PIZZA. I can give up pizza just as easily as I can give up marijuana... but I like Pizza.... and I like Marijuana..

i smoked 5-10 times a day for months, and finally decided it wasn't worth the risk in kansas. so i quit on instantaneous notice, haven't lit up since, haven't even been tempted. i've been around it countless times, i believe wholly in the freedoms that we DON'T have, but its not worth falling on my sword over when colorado is only one state away, and i can be a much more open objector to the illegal aspects of it there. it just takes desire and drive to quit. also, i had been smoking a pack of cigarettes a day for about six months when i had the vision of moving to colo, and with nothing more that a very VIVID goal for the money i'd be saving, i quit that too, both cold turkey within 24 hours of each other. my dad said it couldn't be done. who's laughing now?

I think people that think they can not get hooked on pot are in denial. I know alot of people that have smoked for years and when they have tried to quit it WAS NOT A PRETTY PICTURE!! They were really grouchy and down right nasty and mean. They could not sleep and noticed their sense of smell and taste were also diminished. Now I read where they are finding evidence that it damages sinus membranes. Maybe that is an explanation for the smell and taste part of it. All I have to say is I wish anyone that is living with someone that tries to quit good luck because it is like seeing someone you do not know. It gets like Dr. Jykle and Mr.Hyde- not a pleasant experience at all!! So PLEASE do not tell me pot is not addictive. This is just wishful thinking from all the smokers out there!! Good Luck to all, quitting or not- It is your choice,your life, your money "up in smoke!" I just say NOT IN MY HOME-PLEASE!!!

Hey,
I stopped a couple of days ago and I am confused about the reactions that my body is going through. The night after I hadn't smoked for the first time in 6 months.(I was smoking 6 times a day on average) I had terrible dreams of dying and I perspired through my sheets and my clothes. I dont even know if this is normal and I cannot find any information about it. This is my second serious try and the only substitute that I have found is working out and running. I sleep better after but it really is kinda hard for me. Maybe I have an addictive personality if that exists. Keep fighting the good fight and I hope that this helps even a little.

I'm quiting!

There are variables to everyones addiction. Like how long have you smoked? How much you smoke? and what were the under lining reasons for starting and/or continuing?
I did smoke marijuana for 13-14 years. everyday for the last 8-9 years, which set me back about $300 a month. add it up that's more than an electrical toy from best buy. that's a vehicle contract with a bank.
I started in grade nine, some call it a pepsi habit or ice cream habit. (once in awhile) I had a step father that pushed my buttons and i believe i used marijuana like some obese people use food to hide there emotions.
When i hear people say they just stopped with no problems, either they are lying or they are the wrong people to listen to.
i'm de-toxing right now, it's not fun. I feel irritable, not motivated, depressed, i can't sleep, and very impatient, and head-aches. But everyday is better than the day before. It feels good not having to worry about having enough weed to last the week, not having to take cash out on my credit card for my habit.
hang in there. it's up to you how bad you want it. Will power.

dont ever quit, foo..
