Ways of quitting cannabis

Status
Not open for further replies.
Think about the loss of productivity worldwide if everyone if the workforce was constantly stoned.

Now think about why the Government may have interests in at least some form of Cannabis prevention, especially in troubled financial times like these...
 
I hate to be the guy whos gonna say this but to me cannabis IS addictive. Its the ONE drug i cant help myself but to indulge in everyday. Obviously quitting doesnt send me into withdrawsls its a mental thing. Like i really cant imagine not getting stoned everyday. quitting is hard because i feel like part of my life has been removed. Im jsut trying to get people to be more open to the fact that some people do have issues with cannabis.
 
Someone who asks how you quit smoking "Cannabis" doesn't deserve the slightest inch of respect. That's like letting a Neo-Nazi into a synagogue preaching that the Holocaust was a lie and never happened...

Well, that illuminates something for me. Cheers...
 
I was always able to quit by first.
Not going around locations where i know people are smoking for a couple days
substitute it with something else
this is fucking absurd
why don't you try smoking it yourself.
MORE beneficial than negative
only mentally addictive
i am not smoking due to urine test
HEY why don't you get on probation and see if you can quit then!

Wow. You guys are really being pricks here, besides a few levelheaded types. This is simply a gentle request for information, and TheWinners first post is a fuck you? Why be so hostile? BLUELIGHT IS ABOUT HARM PREVENTION YOU IDIOTS!!! There is very little difference between an organisation that looks into harm prevention and a website. And if you don't think cannabis CAN be harmful and hard to quit, then your wrong. It is known to have addictive qualities for SOME people and known to cause harm to SOME people. Its a drug; every drug has positive and negative effects. As to adiciton; do some reseacrh and you'll find that cannabis withdrawal is considered to be real and is indeed in the DSM IV.

As to it being about your personality; okay- so everyone who has trouble quitting pot, as I have at times, has something wrong with them? How incredibly open-minded and caring your all being.Truth is- a lot of people find weed hard to quit; most don't. Its naive to thnk its utterly benign....

Its pretty ironic that a bunch of potheads are so aggressive. Or maybe just ignorant. The latter makes more sense. Do some reading.

The person is trying to prevent cannabis use without infromation.. That's much more ignorant than I will ever be. I said before hand my fuck you, that I know it may sound immature, but I feel it's completely justified. Preventing cannabis use which is part of my circle of friends and we get downed on for smoking weed by misinformed idiots without information, I offered information in which I would be glad to give, but as I said- real information isn't going to prevent cannabis. Maybe if they get a bunch of information, and learn about a few negatives such as, bed sweats and bad nightmares. They are most likely going to go ahead and say "if you smoke weed your going to wake up at night from terrifying nightmares and sweating tremendously."

I'm not about to support something like that. As far as I'm concerned stopping smoking weed should be no trouble if your a responsible user in the first place, and if somebody isn't they shouldn't have access to this plant.
 
I smoked a lot while I was at school and when summer time came I knew I needed to get a real job that could possibly drug test me so I just stopped smoking. Its that simple. If I remember correctly it was only the first two nights where I had a bit of trouble getting to sleep, because I smoked just about every day, usually started a few hours before I wanted to go to bed, and the weed helped me get to sleep a decent hour and sleep through the night uninterrupted.

That's pretty hypocritical, man. Judging all pot heads based off a few comments?

In either case, I could see why they would assume this was some sort of BS. We constantly see threads like these that basically have people arguing about how bad weed is for everyone... Harm reduction and information go hand and hand, so both sides are naturally going to weigh in.

National Cannabis Prevention and Information Centre (NCPIC) sounds a lot like a propaganda group. I am assuming most of the "research" will only take into account negative polls or attempt to skew data in a way.
 
^I said a bunch of potheads. Not judging all- I'm one myself. Sheesh.

Maybe yur assuming incorrectly? Either way, your making and ass out of u and me. HA :D
 
Dont be friends with the ones that smoke weed.. bam.

thats how it is with me atleast.

You constantly make an ass out of everybody, you judge incorrectly yourself alot, and I see you acting without thinking then you find yourself dumbfounded, not all the time, not saying I have, but I've seen it happen quite alot in threads.

To everyone, I'm not trying to start an arguement and I don't find myself as being hostile in any way in this thread, saying fuck you isn't really hostile. It's not like I was sitting there insulting repetetivly, I offered help with information, but I DO NOT support propaganda, and the one who posted above swilow saying it sounds like a propaganda group- obviously. Why else do you guys think I said fuck you to the person?
 
Now, to that chick who first posted, to quit smoking, willpower, deny weed, and don't let people influence you. So basicly

STOP SMOKING IF YOU WANT TO STOP SMOKING... Big Stroonz said it before

You know, I'm sad that your post had to be the first one. You're representing bluelight (albeit not entirely) when you type that first post out.

Often times you'll better represent yourself if you have a positive and helpful tone to the things you write. You're never going to convince the 'opposition' of your views by being rude.

I dunno about you, but if someone said 'fuck you' when they were trying to convince me of something, I'd only be more stubborn and more prone to hate that particular view.
 
i find relocating to a different environment and working full time is the only way to quit weed (at least temporary)

Well I'm not going to argue as I said before, what's done is done and my position stands the way it is. I'm against government funded facilities to spread propaganda and/or only the negatives.

I'm done, not going to explain the reasons why I said what I said over and over in people to pm and on this thread, cya.

But by the way, I only represent myself, if somebody thinks just because I'm a pothead, sterotyping and saying all stoners are completely peaceful and have not one smidgen of hostility then your wrong
 
^ Don't care if you're a stoner or not. Your first post just gives a first impression of all of bluelight to this person, and I don't think it was a good one.

But whatever. I don't think it'll make any difference in the grand scheme of things.
 
From the first 20'ish posts I hadn't seen one strategy to quit smoking, other than several "fuck you its not addictive".

Quiting anything (especially when you've formed an addiction to it) is difficult. If you're not addicted to it -- I really don't think this organization is looking for your strategies. It's looking for strategies for people who have an addiction towards weed.

If I was to quit smoking again, for good, I would probably try a couple of things. One thing is workout. Working out isn't really fun especially at the beginning, but after a while it's not too bad. It will also take up some of that time you used to use for smoking. Along with working out, find a new hobby, or continue one you already have (get more into it). Buy a book (if you're into reading) and sit down and read a little bit, you might like it. Just spend more time doing other things. Try to get your smoking buddies to do stuff with ya, too, that way stuff isn't so boring doing it by yourself. Try to do better at your work or job. Sign up for some classes at a near community college. You can pretty much DO ANYTHING, for that matter. Just anything that will take your time away from smoking.

Being forced to not being able to smoke is a good one too. Either by being put on probation, drug tests, school, work, family, etc.

Oh yeah, buy lots of gum, it's so great to chew when you're quitting. :P

And I think National Cannabis Prevention and Information Centre Has to do with addiction and quitting, not necessarily preventing use (as I may be wrong but that's how it came off to me as.) Don't try to kick the NCPIC, it's trying to do good for this world.
 
Has anyone seen The Union: the business behind getting high? Aparently there is and was so many kids that got caught with weed, and their only choice was rehab or jail, though they had no addiction, the statistic of kids that were in rehab from that bullshit, was used to show that weed is bad and addictive.
 
not smoking weed is extremely easy compared to other drugs, you just need the mindset to do it
you won't be curled up in the fetal position on your couch 30 mins from your last hit
