How to get off weed?

[FlyingF]

I know it sounds weird that i am addicted to weed, but when I am just chillin with my friends, one of them says "Yo dude i have some dank ass shit. Y'all KNOW dat shit, muthafucka! Do you wanna smoke some wit me son?" I just can't say no. can you guys give me some advice to get off weed and stop smoking cigs for good?

[mrmee]

simply run out of money.

Weed isn't a terribly addictive substance. It shouldn't be hard.
Just say no to anyone that offers. You don't have to smoke.

[Paladino]

It's not addictive in the way cigarettes are, to get off the weed just don't go to your friends or something for a few days until the cravings aren't really there any more & just don't give in to the temptation I guess, I quit last year for about 6 months but I couldn't stay off it I love it too much haha.

[phuckphace]

you "can't" say no, are you sure about that? it's a willpower thing really - if you find that giving into temptation is too easy it might be time to stop associating with the people who enable your "addiction."

[Melodic]

Weed actually isn't addictive. You just need to not give into peer pressure, even if that means taking a week or so by yourself or with someone you can trust.

While weed isn't physically addictive, you can develop a psychological dependence on it. It's not as hard as you think it will be to stop, you really just have to force yourself at first and after you get past the first few days you should be fine. If your friends aren't helping, and don't respect your desire to stop, then maybe they aren't such great friends and you should consider distancing yourself from them, at least while you're trying to get clean. Good luck, dude. Just believe in yourself -- if you go into it saying "I'm gonna fuck this up" then you probably will -- if you go into it with your head held high and a good attitude it will be a lot easier. Just remember that you're doing good for yourself with stopping.

If you can't quit using on your own, maybe some help from a counselor would be a good thing too.

The biggest problem: The people you hang out with.

It's really easy for a person to avoid smoking, but once you hangout with people that all they do is smoke, it is not nearly as easy.

[Meh Guy]

Well pretty much it's as simple as this: stop. I mean, weed is one of those drugs that, yeah it's a pretty nice high and you can get addicted to that high, but it's an unnecessary habit. You could try smoking a bunch until you get tolerant enough that your addiction to the high goes away. Or run out of money. Or don't stop. These are all fairly simple options

Stop hanging out with people that talk like "Yo dude i have some dank ass shit. Y'all KNOW dat shit, muthafucka! Do you wanna smoke some wit me son?"

[CosmicNoodle]

How about you do like every other motherfucker on the planet, and simply say no, you have to at some point, you don't want to say no to your friends and still quit? Get friends that ain't drug riddled idiots then.

this. just because it isn't a strong physical addiction does not mean there cannot be an addiction. great advice

[JoeDangit]

Rub your ears.

No BS. It actually works.

It's called like Auricular Therapy or something.

[Pulp501]

It's not physically addictive, and isn't terribly hard to stop. Just avoid your friends for a few days, the longer you go the less enticing it will be. If you don't do it for a few weeks you'll probably have no problems turning it down. just gotta have a little will power.

follow a hobby to keep your mind off of it. Try not to give into peer pressure and if they call you a wimp then shrug it off. I've tried weed before and I'm not trying to be hypocritical but I stopped since its really shitty tasting and stinky. Anyways the people u talk to seem like they don't give two sh*ts about reality and u need support to stop because this is a big challenge.
