I am a graduate student who was convinced that once school started this year I would quit. Well every deadline seems to be pushed back, and change according to my moods. If I am stressed out, annoyed, or pissed, I smoke. If I am happy I don't need it but I still will smoke if it's a social thing.
So now I am in my second semester and I have got to stop the insanity, NOW.
Here is a list of reasons why I need to stop smoking pot:mad: :
Short attention span, munchies, smoke and watch T.V. is my avoidant ritual when it is time for homework, especially when I should be writing a paper, bad smokers cough, limited lung capacity, slow reflexes, and last but not least I fell as if I am living a double life at times.
( I can't list cost $$ becuase its free for me :D )
My current solution- I have made four appointments for acupuncture detox.
Wish me luck!!!

I wish everyone good results who's trying to quit and make a positive change in their lives.

I don't have personal experience with it, aside from having seen some people mess their lives up a bit from indulging.

There are so many factor afffecting it. As you the addiction grows it becomes more stronger then ever. to quit I think you should have the will (strong or not does't matter) and commitment to yourself. Because if you are not commited to yourself then I think you are in the most pathetic state one can ever be.

I found this form today(9-17-07). It is my hope to find insight, soultions, and better understandings of the cannibis cure(or cannibis addiction).

As one of the people who find relief of depression/anxiety thru the use of cannibis, I can tell you it is more than just a high. It is an effective treatment of a serious problem. I went thru a 12 step program in the past that was some what conforting from the aspect of daily human interaction, but totally ineffective as a way to solve my peticular cannibis addiction/cure.

For me it became a choice between anxiety, depression, and unshakeable thoughts of suicide. The medical establishment offered Paxel, Zoloft. and a parade of other zombie drugs that cannot be used long term without permanent brain/liver dammage. While cannabis effectivly controls all these symtoms with out the dramatic brain/liver damage that medical accepted treatments inflict.

I live a happy productive life because of cannabis and I don't apprieciate in the least that the government wants to make me a criminal just because I find relief from this controlled substance. I will admit that my dependance on cannabis is a weakness that I would love to be rid of, but not in exchange for liver/brain damage...not by taking government approved drugs that make you a zombie.

About will power! After a serious leagal problem(growing herb) I was able to stop using for six weeks. For me it was minute by minute agony...constant depression that escalated to panic attacks. Suicide seemed like my only option; then I took one little puff of marajauana and I was happy...depression gone...no thoughts of suicide. The "war on drugs" should be called the "pharmacological inquestion". A witch hunt to benifit only the big drug companies.

Still I would like to be free of the need for cannibis.

I invite any speculation, solutions, insights, discussion...ect.

Sincerly Frodo
