How To Stop Smoking Cannabis - Weed Is A Real Addiction

[Cherubi]

That's why I said "I think it can be" and not "It's a hard-core addictive drug" because years ago I smoked tobacco for over a decade and I've had some bad times before quitting opioids as well. They're not my kind of drug at all but health related issues, past and present make them a requirement to life but I guess that's a story I'd rather not dive into

Better times with better measures, cannabis being "a better meisure".

Yikes!
Well, the drug industry has to come up with a name for the condition for which they've developed a cure. That helps get the drug approved, so insurance companies will cover the cost.

This is why alcohol became an addiction, so white collar rehab would be covered by insurance. (Please don't infer from this that I believe alcohol use is without its problems)

I was on speed MDMA and ket and had all sorts of therapy and mental health services for 20 years and could never stop. I seen the best psychiatrist near me and got referred to all these places and told I have all these conditions "A B C HNDC MMRA XMT ADHD RDHD" then put on all these medications and none of it worked.......

Then a few years ago I met up with my cousin who is a minsiter and runs a Christ centered approach to beating addiction (sin) in its many forms. Ever since then I just smoked weed and now vap it as you all know and off all the mental health medications. All I do now is attend 2 group meetings a week and church every Sunday and read the bible and always looking to Jesus.

Sorry guys I know this is about weed and sorry to bring my love for Jesus here but this is how i stopped being a total waster and user to being someone who helps other addicts and contributes and helping my community

I am happy that you were able to get where you are today. I've had my own mental health struggles.

Stopping smoking wasnt really a problem once i smoke all the stash and not reup. The problem was occupying that time i spent smoking with other activities. I recommend taking NAC and Agmatine supplements to diminish habit seeking behaviors.

So making new habits with nootropics and supplements instead of vaping ?

No, they reduce cravings and addiction seeking behavior.

I think a lot of addiction lies in personality, habits and also environment. It’s not necessarily the substance itself imho.

That classic thing of a kid being sent to rehab for pot and being sat opposite a life long heroine addict.

I will say though some substances are inherently more addictive than others, and harder to stop due to the dangers of sudden withdrawals. Weed however is certainly low on the list imho.

I have just taken a break due to taking up flying lessons! I went for cold turkey straight of the bat and the 1st week was terrible in terms of cravings, after being a non stop user for over 30 years! I am in my 3rd week now and things are getting better by the day, dreams have started to come back really intensly. Although my neck seems to be very stiff since stopping not sure why.

CBD!!!...
Mix cbd flower with your reg flower for a few weeks, then slowly transition to mostly all cbd flower eventually ending up vaping just cbd.
Go cold turkey from here. and take up a new hobby.
It's hard though, because weed is addictive. But dont feel bad, so is caffeine, alcohol, sugar, sex, and so on. You can DO IT!
