Many people have problems with the weed addiction, but won’t recognize it as such. Once you admit to yourself you’ve got a problem you need to solve it – but how to quit smoking pot?

Here’s a first-hand experience: our protagonist used to smoke weed every day for over 12 months. He is 16, started smoking weed at the age of 13, and got used to everyday “dose” at the age of 15. Of course, the reason to start smoking weed was that all his friends had been doing it!

Soon enough, he was entangled in a magic circle – where to find weed, where to consume it….. and whom to smoke with.

Nevertheless, it stopped being fun – there was no joy in it and several side-effects started appearing – paranoia, for example. Luckily, he started realizing it led nowhere and naturally, he tried to quit.

There are some hints to help dealing with such habits: avoid all possible situations where you expect to come across weeds! Inform your friends you’re trying to discipline yourself. Find a supporter, who will always be there for you. Get rid of your equipment – sell it or cast it away!

Don’t be too hard on yourself – it’s okay to have a smoke occasionally (then try to gradually increase the periods). Well, if you succeed you surely will be feeling better soon enough – after all, there are so many positive things around that one day you’ll remember there was no need to wrap yourself in smoking weed in the first place!

The biggest problem, however, is that people usually won’t admit they have a problem. I have seen and heard many such cases and I still know some people regularly smoking marijuana. They are still into the good old story – it’s less dangerous than nicotine. They might be right, but yet, I’ve never seen nicotine smokers unable to remember what they had for breakfast.

That (and similar effects) are known as pothead effects. These are usual with weed smokers and after a while they tend to make more and more so-called “black holes” in the brain. These will never go away afterward, and every weed smoker should know it…

As for those who admit to themselves they have a problem, they have already partially succeeded. It is well known that weed addiction (at least in the beginning) is physical. The solution, as always, is to try persuading yourself you are strong enough to survive reality without smoking weed.

Inside yourself, you know it is so, but again you should convince yourself it is true. This mental struggle is always most important when fighting addiction, and in cases of weed (which never creates high-level addiction unlike, e.g., heroin) you’ll have to admit – it’s all in your head.

The only battle that remains from that spot onward (though the most important one) is that with yourself. Fighting your own demons is the highest task whatever the cause, and in cases of addiction – you may find yourself embracing the worst of the inner demons.

So say goodbye and stop smoking weed today! You can do it!
