Hi guys,

Didn't really know where to post this but need some advice. Sorry if this isn't the correct place to ask.

I'm trying to quit smoking weed after having smoked it for the past 15 years however I am finding it very difficult to do. My main problem is that I am used to smoking to relieve myself of stress. I work a very stressful job and I Rely on marijuana after a long day in order to relax and more importantly to sleep. I find it impossible to sleep without being high anymore.

So does anyone have any tips on how to quit the herb cold turkey? My main reasons for quitting are: A. Money; money is a main concern as marijuana gets more expensive so does living costs and I'm finding myself struggling to pay for both food and marijuana daumy and B. Quality; because I live in a country where weed still illegal (UK) the quality of the bud can Be a big concern. Bud grown using harmful chemicals like PGR's, bud that isn't but flushed or cured properly and just poor quality shitty weed.

Any tips would Be appreciated :)

Cheers guys sorry again if this isn't the place to post this.

Have a small closet? If so grow your own.

If you have an addictive personality like me then you will find something else

Thanks for your reply mate.

Yes growing my own would be the ideal solution, however because I rent and have regular inspections it just wouldn't be viable ATM. Plus electric bills would cost a bomb too as UK energy price atm are INSANE.

And yeah really don't wanna be substituting it with hard drugs lol done that before and don't wanna go back

Are there Narcotics Anonymous meetings in your area? If not, you can try Alcoholics Anonymous. They're free in that they run on donations from within the community. The knowledge and stories there may be beneficial. A lot of the meetings are "open" so you can sit off to the side and not share/participate.

You can also look into growing your own. That's what a lot here do. Personally, I grow, don't smoke, and attend AA meetings.

Go for a walk in the evnings an if you can maybe do some exercises. Drink a lot of water. An try reading before you go to sleep while in your bed. Will be difficult for the first week but if you can get through that you should be fine. The things iv suggested will help.

I quit drinking at the start of this year, cold turkey. I quit coffee a couple months ago, also cold turkey. It wasn't that hard, and I have an addictive personality.

It can be done.

I quit drinking and smoking weed several times a year for at least a month at a time. I just get tired of smoking weed and drinking. So I stop.

I got the addictive personality thing too. I spent years battling addiction (still do, never-ending) and would just replace one thing with another.

I'm not trying to be cutthroat but if someone wants to quit smoking weed then just stop smoking it.

I get ya, I just think ease and simplicity are relative.

I'd buy some cbd hemp flower and just start vaping that instead at the same rate you used to smoke. I quit when I was young after many years of daily use and I found it to be vastly easier than quitting cigarettes' or alcohol. It mostly just messed up my sleep cycle-I felt a little "dry" and grumpy for a week or two, then back to normal. Sleep cycle messed up for about 6 months after-but that's because I started smoking back then for insomnia, so your mileage may vary. Vaping the hemp flower will really reduce the psychological component, which is, imo, the only real addictive aspect of cannabis. I don't believe it is physically addicting in the slightest, although you do get used to how it makes you feel and miss it when it's gone. Maybe you also realize how many aches and pains you actually have too.

Cool man, I hope it's beneficial to you! It sure was for me! As another with an addictive personality, cold turkey is the only way I can do it. I quit booze, tobacco and shitty food. Think of how healthy I'd be if I'd have learned this 40 years ago!!!
