There are various tips, tricks and techniques to help you quit smoking weed. Certain things that you can do to make quitting much easier, but first we must need to know what were doing. In this article I’d like to give you some information that will hopefully be an asset to you when you quit smoking pot.

Have a plan

Decide what your going to do, when your going to do it by and don’t skip the details. Be as specific as possible about what you intend to do. Then most importantly, do it. By now I’m sure you have no idea what I’m talking about so heres an example plan.

• Quit smoking weed two weeks from now. (Have a specific day)
• Change associations
• Practice self discipline
• Cut down on smoking weed for the two weeks
• Try to get some weak hash or weak weed for the second week
• Continue to cut down on the weak hash/weed
• Begin new activity or hobby
• Keep busy and stay active
• Eat enough fruit and vegetables to help clear the system
• Stay away from temptations. Like going round friends who smoke weed or being around weed or stress

Just to be clear I want to explain the bullet points in more detail.

Change associations

When do you usually smoking weed? Do you smoke in the morning first thing or as soon as you get home from work? Do you like to smoke whilst you whilst gaming or walking the dog? Whatever you are usually doing when you smoke, it’s time to change it. Why? Because it doesn’t take long for your brain to associate getting home and getting high so that the first thing you think of when you get in is ‘time for a joint.’ The same thing goes for waking up in the morning or any of the other associations you might have. If your like I was then you may wake up in the morning and the first thing you think is ‘weed.’ See, that’s a bad association, associating waking up with getting high. I’m obviously not pointing the finger here, I was this bad at one point. Yet I managed to quit smoking weed and so can you.

Self Discipline

Self discipline begins on the first day when you set your ‘quit smoking weed date’ and gets stronger everyday until you have completely quit. Reading this takes discipline, changing an association takes discipline and cutting down will take discipline. Building up until you quit smoking weed, but it doesn’t stop there because everyday you don’t smoke is a day that you strengthen your will power. (I didn’t want to say discipline again)

Smoke Weak Weed or Weak Hash

Not the most professional advice I have ever given but smoking weak hash or weak weed will help you get used to smoking and not getting as high. That’s a good thing if your trying to quit.

Quit smoking weed Now!

Cutting Down

This is a highly recommended, though not essential by any means. Cutting down before you quit smoking weed will mean that you get used to feeling ‘normal’ instead of feeling high all the time. Don’t forget that although you might only feel buzzed for an hour after smoking, you still have side effects of smoking for hours and often days after your last joint. By cutting down you will get use to feeling ‘normal’ which can be a bit of a shock if you are like I used to be. By smoking less you will also increase your will power and even at this point you will get a taste of the benefits when you start to think clearly and feel more energetic.

Begin a new activity or hobby

It’s important to keep your mind occupied when you quit smoking weed otherwise you might not be able to get it off your mind. Any form of physical activity will help by relieving stress, keeping you busy and getting rid of any cravings you have. It will also help you sleep better at night. Any other activity or hobby you have will also take up some time and keep you distracted whilst you are quitting. Anything to keep your mind off the fact that you want to smoke.

Of course there are techniques to lower your cravings and even some that will make you not want to smoke weed at all. I was a chronic smoker for six years and using these techniques allowed me to quit. What surprised me more was that it wasn’t as difficult as I thought it would be, there were small cravings but it would have been harder to smoke than it was not to smoke.
