First let me
start off by telling you I am not a doctor or specialist in addictions or
anything. This is my personal system I used when I wanted to learn how to stop
smoking pot. When I was in the 10th grade I began smoking pot daily for 9
years, yes, daily for nine years, until I figured out how to quit marijuana.
First thing you
need to figure out is the reason why you want to learn how to stop smoking pot.
My main two reasons were money and a job. I finally added up all the money I
was spending on nicks, dimes and ounces. This added up to a LOT of WASTED money
plus I had recently landed a temp position and was told that if I worked hard I
would be hired in 3 months and most people tell you it stays in you system for
about a month. I really needed this job so I had 3 months to figure out how to
quit marijuana.
Next thing to do
is research the withdrawal symptoms. I not going to lie to you and tell you it
was easy to learn how to quit marijuana.
The 1st thing I experienced was anxiety. Through years of smoking you've
conditioned your brain into thinking that the only way to relax is to be high
so when you are not high you get nervous and jittery. I also experienced loss
of appetite and insomnia.
Once you are
ready to learn how to stop smoking pot, get rid of ALL your paraphernalia.
Bongs, papers, pipes etc. Having them around will only make you think about
being high even more. Remember to get rid of EVERYTHING. Have you ever tried to
quit only to find yourself looking in the couch for weed crumbs or stringing
together 3 roaches to make a joint?
Next find
activities to replace smoking. Whenever I got the urge to smoke I would
exercise and I've actually gotten in better shape since I quit. What ever you
do, do not replace weed with alcohol as this will bring you down further.
Replacing smoking with other activities is actually the main way I learned how
to stop smoking pot.
The last and
hardest thing for me to do when I figured out how to stop smoking pot was cut
ties with friends for a while. If you are around people that don't want to know
how to quit marijuana then you are going to smoke as well. I had to cutoff
buddies I had known for years because they constantly pressured me into smoking
even though they knew I was trying to quit. If they are you real friends then
they will understand your decision and either help you or not smoke around you.
That's what real friends do. Funny thing is when I learned how to stop smoking
pot two of my buddies did the same. Your life will change for the better when
you learn how to quit marijuana.
