    Its more of a habit than an addiction. Try and change your usual routine slowly everyday, and try to avoid thinking of it. Do small things to keep yourself busy. Good luck with your goal.

    LEGALIZE IT!

    Ahh my friend, but why do you want to quit? its a way of relaxing every night. theres so much worse you could be doing to yourself. we live longer than 80 years if were lucky, why not just keep going for it? you must enjoy it if you keep buying bags and your not hurting anyone.

    Smoke Weed Every Day Home boy!

    It's normal, it's pretty addictive stuff. I'm sort of addicted to it myself too. One thing i noticed is that when you stop going to places where you smoke it you dont get cravings for it that much. In 3-5 days most of it is out your system. Then it's just a mindgame, you don't need the weed to feel good! Just think of that. Stress and other stong feelings can cause you to crave again, this is hard. But you can do it!

    Weed isnt addictive at all! Its just you do it so often that ur use to the movements of putting the joint to ur moth or just the simple flick of the lighter

    It is addictive (although not very addictive). Also how addictive something is can change from person to person. I would advise trying hard to quit because it can potentially be very dangerous.

      It's not dangerous -.- how many people have died from
      Marijuana... How many people have died from tobacco... Tobacco kills-marijuana makes people happy

    Man, i feel your pain. I'm in the exact same situation. I've been smoking every day for a while now, and whenever I don't have any I start fiending. I have a hard time sleeping without having a little spliff first. But I'm, once again, giving quitting another try. '

    I'm not entirely sure why, I just feel like it's what I'm supposed to do. I can't be high all the fucking time, right? I mean, I've had a steady relationship for the past 2 years, I'm in the top of my class at uni (i'm 23), and as far as i can tell i'm healthy.

    But there are downsides, naturally. I feel like my circle of friends just gets smaller and smaller, my memory is shot to shit, can't fucking remember what I did last week, let alone last year.

    So, yeah, how do we quit? I can't remember what it was like not being a pothead. But, hey! I haven't smoked for like 3 days!

    Its a psychological addiction. The best way to break a strong habit like this is to to make another dramatic change in your life: get a new job, start hanging out with a different group of people, move to a new place, etc. Just work on changing your routine - eg, if you always smoke around certain people, don't hang out with them; if you always get stoned and go to the movies on the weekends, try going somewhere else entirely that you don't have that association with.

    I was addicted. The first time I quit (I've "quit" many times), I couldn't eat for three days and was nauseous, anxious, and shaky. Some people are more prone to addictions than others, like caffeine. If I have coffee two days in a row, and none on the third, I'll get a horrible headache.

    I quit regularly smoking a couple years ago but I still fiend for it. You probably always will. I love smoking pot, I love everything about it, but I can't be high for the rest of my life. I know if I buy a bag I won't smoke in moderation so I just don't buy it. I want it, but I know I can't have it. You just have to find the will. You know it's ruining your life, and the first few months will be hell, but once you start feeling like yourself again it will be much easier. I've started to get my old sharp wit and sense of humor back, but I've still got the social anxieties that were only worsened by pot. Anyways, best of luck to you, and the only thing you can do is be strong.

    • Yeah, I understand what you mean. I feel the same way about being sober but I am more of a "square" so I'm called and I have never tried living in that frame of mind before. Like I have stated before, my parents are addicts so I tend to focus on the good in life and not toward escapes like drugs or other crap of that sort.

      If you can control it and have a good life, by all means but I like life, even the screwed up times and I wouldn't trade it for anything. I just feel like if I got high, I would be losing what matters most to me about myself, a sense of who I am.

    My friend's husband is the same way. He says he's not addicted, but we know he is. Good luck!

  • Start smoking less and less every time, and take comfort in knowing that marijuana isn't physically addictive like tobacco is. Your mind wants it.

    It may not be normal, but I'm going through the EXACT same thing. It's become a second nature habit for me every night.

    I have a story to tell you guys/girls, Im not trying to be religous here or anything but its a true story. My friend didnt live in a very good neighborhood and when he turned 5 he made some very bad friends much older than him. His "friends" made him do marijauna and 1 day he did it so much he passed out and never woke up. He is gone now and I miss him dearly he was my best friend the only friend I had. Guess what?.... The people that made him do that have to live with that for the rest of there life. They have to live always thinking about what they did to a 5 year old boy who had too much life to live to die at that age. My advice is that you can join the 12 step program. Or use anything that can possibly keep your mind off of it. I dont know you people but everybody makes mistakes and nobody deserves to die from something like this. I encourage you to do anything you can think of to help you. I know this isnt much advice but it is telling you what can happen if you guys are doing this, and even though I dont know you I dont want you to die from something like this. Nobobdy deserves to die like this!!:(

      Lol you nut. It definitely wasn't weed your friend was smoking. Maybe he was sniffing glue with it as well. Marijuana itself isn't addictive, its when you tell yourself you can't live without it when addiction sets in. Like how people are addicted to chocolates, food, pain, porn ect. People blame everything but themselves, geez.

      IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO HAVE A FATAL OVERDOSE OF THC!!!!!!!! If you smoke to much then 1 of two things will happen. Either you will throw up or pass out.
