Here's how to quit.
- Don't light it up.
- Don't breath it in.
Cold turkey is the best way to beat an addiction.

If you want to stop, stop. Grow a pair, or, as the guy on Dark Angel said at the alcoholics anonymous meeting:
I'm, uh, new in town. I have some business here, and I've been coming to this meeting for the last couple weeks. I've listened to a few of you stand up and tell your stories, and tonight I'd like to take my turn.
Drinking damn near destroyed my life. I woke up one morning, took a look around ... I was lying on the floor. I decided never to touch another drop. I've been sober ever since. I hear a lot of you talk about taking things one day at a time.
As far as I'm concerned, that's a cop-out. You make a decision and you take charge of your life. You don't need a higher power to help you. You don't need a sponsor.
What you need is strength of mind, willpower, and character. Alcoholism is not a disease.
It's a failing. You've turned it into a church. You worship at the altar of self-pity.
I come to these rooms for one reason: to remember what I don't want to become ... helpless, impotent, and weak.
Thank you.
As you were.

I take great offense to "felix doc" answer. This might have worked for you but there are millions who are recovering in AA as we speak who work a program and it is not just the stop drinking and drugging that works it is the change of attitude and behavior. Unfortunately you still have the alcoholic "isms" that got you where you were to begin with. To be the judge of such a huge group of people is not only arrogant but self defeating because they are the group of people who you will need to stay sober.
As for the weed issue. Narcotics Anonymous or AA will be a huge start for your recovery. You may have an underlining problem such as depression or something else that makes you want to self medicate. I am a christian but I would not push that on you. To join any program you just have to believe that there is a higer power. That can be the group if you don't believe in God. These programs aren't religious but they are spiritual. Good luck I really hope you find the help you need. My son is in a halfway house right now. He started with pot and everytime he said he would never do something he ended up doing it. Pot is addictive in the mind and we all know the mind is a powerful thing. Plus it puts us in contact with people who do all kinds of drugs not just pot. These people may seem like your friends but many of them want you to get hooked so they get your money. I will pray for you because I do believe in prayer. Good luck and God bless. peace.

Embrace Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. Confess your sins to him---not me, for I cannot save you---and ask for his forgiveness. Ask Jesus for his help. In John 15:5, Jesus says: "....without me ye can do nothing." Give your faith and trust totally to Jesus. Stay away from those places and people that encourage you to do drugs. Find new friends and new activities. Do not be afraid to share your weaknesses with other---good friends will be supportive and help strengthen you. Remember: no man is an island. We do not live alone, but require each other to survive. You must have your own faith, but there are times when you must lean on others for support. We all go through problems with addictions of various sorts and we all need help with them. Do not be overcome with fear, but overcome fear with faith in Jesus Christ. Memorize Psalm 23, the pearl of the Psalms. Recite it whenever you feel weakness coming on and a desire to go back to drugs. Pray for guidance and help every day and every night. If you feel that you need group therapy, then get it. Group therapy is a wonderful thing and it has very positive results. I have worked with group therapy in the past and the one thing that I have noticed is that no one judges you in group. Jesus loves you.

Just stop smoking it. There are no physical addictions to THC. If you feel like you are having withdrawls, it's only because your mind wants to be high. Find something else to do to take your mind off of getting high.

You can do an intensive outpatient program at a drug clinic if your insurance will help cover the cost. There are other programs of varying intensity and length of residence to choose from depending on how difficult it is for you to abstain.

Sounds like "u wanna" give up things in your life that cause adverse effects but you have no intention of a life change that would make you the kind of person that God wants you to be. It "ain't gonna work".
"If you will confess Jesus as Lord.. you will be saved". As long as you remain your own lord, good luck.

The stop doing it.
The people I knew who used to argue for it says it is not addictive and not as harmful as tobacco and nicotine, so just show some self-control and quit.

If you are serious then you may need a detox program and possibly rehab. You could try NA meeting they help some people.

I know where you are coming from - the only thing that worked for me was to move to Asia! A little extreme but well worth it!
