   Just stop, Marijuana is not a phyically dependance producting drug. It is only physological, and even then, it is a weak addiction,as its not terribly euphoric and does not have a come down like say, Cocaine.

   It should be no big deal, and even if you relapse now adn then, no big deal again. It is in of it self non toxic (yes that is right, it is not toxic, it does not cause cellular death, that being the definition of toxic!) and the harm comes from the inhaled smoke, which of course is bad for your lungs….but if you did it only on the rare time, this harm is minimal.

   Get into a smoking cessation group. You will have some the same withdrawl issues as people who smoke cigarettes. The American Heart and Lung Assn. may have some resources. Narcotics anonymous may be helpful as well.

   I do know that when you are withdrawing from cigs or weed there is alot of electrolyte imbalances that can occur. You may notice that you sweat more/pee more etc. The thing to remember is to stay VERY hydrated, take a good multivitamin, drink sports drinks if you are not a water person (water is best). This will help you flush out a lot of residue/toxins in your body.

   Clean you house from top to bottom. Throw a lot of crap away. This will help getting rid of the smell but also, it is good psychologically too. If you had a special area where you toked up, change it. Take any reminder of those warm fuzzy feeling out of your sight. You don’t need any reminders of that.

   Make a list of people who you can count on and those that you NEED TO AVOID. Schedule yourself around those people you know will make it hard for you to stay clean. Start hanging out with people who you know will not tempt you.

   If you see anyone toking up–leave. No questions asked.

   Thank you for making a positive change in your life. Take Care!

   Completely leave your old friends you hung out with smoking weed. You shouldn’t talk to, see, or be with them at all. As much as they say they will support you or that it doesn’t matter if you don’t smoke weed with them, it’s a lie. Never hang out with them again. Move if you have to.

   Build a support network. Join an AA group for marijuana. Talk to a counselor. Try rehab, if you need to. Get new friends and talk to your family about your problem.

   Addiction is a hard road, and you can beat it.
