I am dealing with the same problem dude, been spoking it everyday for 3 years and its kind of made me feel alien to the world and it does you no good in the long run. With all drugs there are the fun learning stage until it becomes all you assossiate it with, like doing something without weed is not worth doing, thats when you realise what a scumbag and greedy human you are being, look at the good stuff from being sober and sort your life out in these early days and try and settle for high aspirations or anything to keep your life steady then smoke the herb occasionly and life will be lush. Also try and find a girl to spend time on (preferbly one not too into marijuana) and prioritise your life to them may be a good way of escapism. Idk dude, i know its hard but you'll pull through man.

Good luck getting through your addiction man, just try to keep your mind off of it and occupied at all times. Really hope you pull through!

So alot of you are probably going to react like "wtf you cant get addicted to weed blah blah blah" however I am truly mentally addicted. Sure I have quit for months on end but for the last 5 years or so everyday I have smoked weed. I use to enjoy weed but lately I have this bad attitude towards it and I feel like it is holding me back from making any real accomplishments in my life. I use to be creative when I was high but now I just get lazy/slow mentally, I have defiantly noticed my short term memory has gone to shit. I am now always forgetting where I just set something down, what I was previously talking about ect. My biggest issue when it comes to quitting is that I have fallen into routine where I get high certain times of the day and when it comes to be that time of day I get extremely anxious and panic unless I take a hit. The reason I started smoking weed daily was mainly because of stress, I like to come home kick my feet up toke up and relax. However now that I have that bad attitude towards weed whenever I toke up I get put on this strange edge of being stressed yet relaxed at the same time, its hard to explain. I tried quitting last week but ended up breaking open my stash and toking up before bed anyway, one of my favorite ways to fall asleep.

 

I know quitting marijuana is not a difficult journey however I have never really been good at dealing with stress or stressful situations so any tips are welcome. 

Weed psychosis my friend, I have been smoking it non-stop last 5 years, hell I even deal and doing a 3 pot grow atm :P It is hard to stop, but you got to push yourself through, I have recently given up, only 5 days now, but its starting to get better, didn't eat properly for the first 4, broke down on the 3rd at like 3am, just everything from my past, even stuff irrelevant at like age 5 to present, just all hit me at once, you do feel shit for days because you have been numbing your emotions over the past few years with weed and they are finally bursting out. But trust me, after the first 4/5 days, it does get better, no is a very powerful word, and if you can say it with confidence you will succeed, it is difficult, but it can be done. I too suffer with being very stressful, also I do have an outstanding anger problem, and do you know what I find helps me? Hobby. Do something creative like model building, painting etc. Also when I get angry, I got for a walk and carry on the argument outside whilst I'm walking, but with myself, because what ever you say isn't going to hurt anyone and your releasing it into the wind and its blow away, and about 5 minutes later, I have gotten everything I need out and I'm, really, back to normal before I got angry. But this is how I deal with it, everyones different, but I do suggest a hobby, because majority the time, without even thinking, your smoking because your bored, fill up that time and the days fly by, I wish you all the luck my friend, you can do it. 

 

I understand. I was a daily smoker until about 2 months ago. I wasn't addicted to weed, but I was addicted to being high, and it was out of hand. I've done amphetamines, DXM, diphenydramine, smoked daily, mushrooms... Name a category of drug, and I've tried it. The worst part about stoner culture is that most stoners are so blind and ignorant to the reality of drug use. They'll do anything to justify their use and reverently preach that "you can never be addicted, there's nothing negative about persistent marijuana use/psychedelic use/etc." They're fucking idiots. There's a such thing as responsible drug use, and there's irresponsible drug use. With EVERY SINGLE DRUG UNDER THE SUN. MUSHROOMS, LSD, MARIJUANA... I don't want to hear your bullshit about "low physical addiction potential and limited long-term side effects." You're getting high, and being high can get in the way of your life. I fell into the pathetic stoner culture that tells you that weed and similar drugs were all positive, no negative, and it's beyond retarded. It makes me angry to even think that there are actually fools in this world who try and convince everybody that there is nothing wrong with prioritizing marijuana over living your life like a useful human being.

 

I'm 2 months sober and it hasn't gotten any easier. Trust me man, going from daily drug use to nothing is hard as hell. But it's a beautiful thing. My relationship is a million times stronger (I don't know how she put up with me 2 years, but I sure do love her for it), I feel more mentally clear, I'm 200% more productive, and I'm finally getting my priorities straight. I think about the high every day, and I still get that urge to feel high, but every day I'm more in control.

 

It'll get better man, you just need to find a personal reason to persist in staying away from weed for awhile. Maybe someday, when you're in a healthier mental state, you can use responsibly again. I don't think there's anything wrong with use, but there's a hell of a lot wrong with condoning over-use. If you use "recreationally" more than twice a week, there's probably a problem (not counting legitimate medical usage of course).

 

Goodluck man. I feel for you and I honestly wish you the very best.

don't just quit! wait till you hit rockbottom.

only weak ppl quit

Hmm have you been smoking bong everyday for the past 5 years  ??

god i know that feeling of emptiness inside when quitting weed, it's honestly just like your missing something or that your without.

just take it easy, dont put too much stress on quitting and just act like you have already have quit it and when you get an erge to smoke just find some activity to put your mind on too thats very interactive such as a video game (something that grabs your full attention). after about a month the cravings will start to be meaningless and you'll no longer feel attached to it

I think it all depends on where you want to be in your life, a lot of the stoners i know are just comfortable where they are at and don't want much more. it doesn't effect them in a negative way from what i see. And i don't think i've ever heard anyone say that weed or drugs are a positive influence, i just know that they really don't care what people think about it

Hmm have you been smoking bong everyday for the past 5 years  ??

I find the need to smoke a shotty, because joints are not worth it and are a waste, plus more harmful with the paper. I miss pulling the shotty and hearing her pop :P

Good luck with quitting, it's always a good thing to consider when you're addicted to something that harms your body.

only kids get addicted to weed

That's not the best thing to say on a post where someone is revealing to you their addiction to weed, and quite frankly its not even a valid statement.

no simply you are the fool, the fool that cannot handle getting high and handling life, you are what they call the typical dum stoner that loses all motivation and passion when he smokes. not all stoners are like that, some enjoy playing sports, working going to school. so you need to chill. I absolutely hate junkies that start smoking bud, then become drug addits and try every drug and then root  the problem to marujauna.

do yoga and drink tea.
