![]() We only allow text posts, and recommendations of resources outside the group will most likely be removed. There are medications that can help mitigate the effects of quitting or conditions that might have contributed to addiction, but you should get those from a doctor, not an Internet chat group. Posts discussing or advocating weed substitutes, CBD, or any remedies other than mutual support and the sharing of our experience. This subreddit is for people who have decided to quit for good, not for people who will resume or continue. Posts in which the sole subject is tolerance breaks or moderation management. Posts regarding strategies, wait times, products or anything related to drug testing or "detoxing." There are lots of thoughts on legalization and plenty of places to debate them, but they are a distraction from the mission of this subreddit which is to help people stop smoking.īadges: We get occasional requests for badges - please see this post: If your post doesn't have "I" or "me" in it you should question whether you're describing your own experience or just talking about others.Īlso, this is a politics-free zone. You're welcome to talk about bad experiences, but they have to be yours, not other people's, society's, or general anti-smoking opinion. If your problem is with other people, other smokers, or cannabis in general then keep it about how that affect you. Keep it About You: This group is pot-positive and we have no problems with weed other than the fact that it isn't right for us, so we keep this a selfish place. Remember that you're here to actively inspire people toward success, yourself included. If someone is breaking this rule, please use the report button and we'll sort it out. Even (and maybe especially) people that aren't being kind to us. Please note: Our first and most important rule is that we be kind, courteous, and supportive with each other. If you're looking for meetings or additional help try Marijuana Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, or SMART Recovery. The only requirement for being here is that you have decided it's time to quit for good.

Not being able to stop smoking weed even when you want to? Bad. What was the thing about your life with marijuana that you wanted to change in the first place?

Take some time to think about what you were really like when you smoked. Instead of seeing the world through a window blurred by marijuana, imagine being able to take in the beauty of the world with no filters, and no disguises. It may sound impossible now, but depression, as with all other symptoms of withdrawal, will eventually go away. Hence why you can’t muster the energy to do even the simplest of tasks. Hence your perceptions that the world is bleak, uninviting, and empty. During withdrawal, the removal of the exogenous stimulus (THC) pushes those receptors and their pleasure-producing pathways into a state of hypoactivity. With chronic or heavy marijuana use, CB1 receptors located in areas of the brain that regulate reward become dulled over time.

This is your brain, fighting to regain control of the circuits that control happiness, pleasure, and reward. ![]() It can be hard to even think about tomorrow when you are struggling with the emotions of today.
