Loading ...About the Marijuana Addict
This blog was created as a tool to help in me explore and overcome my addiction to marijuana. Prior to starting this site, I had tried to quit on my own many, many times. I have been smoking for 10 years, 7 of those years has been a heavy, chronic addiction.
The desire to quit had been building in me for a last couple of years. It is clearly time to take action and invest some serious mental and emotional effort. I will quit smoking pot - and share everything I learn along the way. You can view my Daily Journal to see my current progress.
I have also created a Marijuana Addiction Forum on this site so that you can post your own journals, questions and comments about marijuana rehabilitation.
I have started the process by documenting “Why I want to quit smoking weed“. This is a very personal, difficult task to do - and I highly recommend it. You can click on the link above to view my results of this exercise.
If you are struggling with a marijuana addiction, you are not alone. There are a lot of people in the world that are experiencing the same love / hate relationship with cannabis that you are.
This website is a work in progress, and has been online since mid-November. Please bear with me as I go through growing pains over the next couple months….I know the categories are a mess right now.
If you are interested in writing an article or journal article about your experience with addiction to marijuana, please Contact me here.
I have been smoking marijuana for about nine years I started when I was 13 and I am 23 now I have recently been trying to quit smoking. It is the hardest thing I have ever done in my life. Its sometimes hard to remember but I believe I started smoking pot to enhance my life style, but at this point smoking pot just defines my life.When people think of me they think, Cameron the pot head, Because honestly right now thats all I really am. How sad is that, I wake up and smoke weed, then I smoke weed before I go to work, and after that I smoke weed when I get to work, and I smoke weed throughout the entire day until I clockout and then I smoke weed on the way home, I smoke when I get home, and I smoke until I fall asleep. The thought of quiting is so far beyond me I dont even know where to start. What the hell should I do?

You can start by smoking a little less. Wait an extra 10 minutes before you smoke, grab a glass of water, go for a walk. Show yourself gradually that you have will power over weed, then increase the will power until you are ready to take the plunge and go sober. If you always buy a quarter ounce, try to make it last an extra day or two.
November 26th, 2007 at 8:46 pmNot really sure what to say but really feel the need to say something to someone… i’m 29 and have been smoking weed for 13 years i feel that particularly over the last 4 it has stolen my fizzy bubbly bottle of pop life and turned it into not so sparkling tap water!! I used to be able to go for a few weeks without a reef but now-a-days i cant make it to 10am. I gave up smoking fags in January and by April I hated them i want to feel the same about weed but it’s just so hard all my friends smoke it the ones that didnt got left behind whilst i’ve been in my weed cloud. I want to stop but dont want to be alone.
