Answer 1

Please listen to this advice:
don't buy any more the next time you run out...just don't call that "dude" on the phone to place another order.
I'm serious...someone near and dear to me was able to do that about four years ago and never started again.
The first few days after quitting cold like that are of course the worst, you've had the habit of rolling one or stuffing the bong bowl and you'll miss the "ritual".

If you must, go ahead and keep smoking up what you have until your stash is all dried up and there's nothing left in your place (otherwise you'll be fighting temptation every minute of every hour knowing a "fix" is within reach...out of sight, out of mind).
Sure, go through those seeds and stems until there's nothing left to smoke then toss them out...just get all traces of pot out of your home for once and for all.

As time goes on and you see you have a nice sum of money in your bank account (just how much does it cost per oz. nowadays?) you'll soon realize you did the best thing you could for yourself.
Guess what? It's a lot easier to do than you might think right now.

btw...you're depression is not so much about when you can't smoke pot but it's because you do...pot is a depressant...a downer...and will take you down with it.
Take charge of your life now, don't be a slave to pot any longer...
YOU CAN DO THIS!
Good luck!

I think maybe you use it as an excuse. Maybe you just have a hard time staying on task, so that is your excuse not to be prompt with your bills. Also you are talking about pot here, it should be a lot easier to quit a chemical that is not classified as addictive, maybe it is your personality to develop chemical depedencies. Look make it a test to yourself just to put it down and realize that you are in control of how you feel at all times. It's your mind. I'm glad you aren't asking about a really highly addictive substance like crack or something, you should be careful and conscious of your choices, you can do anything if you STOP, THINK, (i.e. PUT YOUR MIND TO IT)

Answer 3

You are going to have to bite the bullet and go cold-turkey. You will be depressed for a while, but it is not a permanent condition. Make sure that you stay away from any sort of temptation (dealers, friends that smoke, random marijuana plants growing out of cracks in the sidewalk) while you are in "detox".
You may have to take off of work or school for a few days if you feel too bad. You'll be fine in no time at all.

Answer 4

Pot is a depressant and a mind altering substance. you need to get out of the house. Go to the library, read, take walks, eat welland take a good multivitamin mineral suppliment to keep yourself in order. Drink lots of water. you are withdrawing from the effects of the drug, it causes you to just not care and feel nothing about anything. /so, the feelings that you have been supressing are coming to the surface. If you can afford it or if you have no assets go to mental health for some counceling, it won't hurt, maybe even alanon if you have it where you are. Otherwise just find other things to occupy your mind. get into something creative that you used to do before pot took over your life, you'll feel good about yourself again. you have to fill the time in a positive way. Get in touch with a friend that you lost touch with, family that you have been away from, re connect with people that you liked before this drug took you away from them. they will be happy to see you. I give you credit fot doing this, it takes courage and I know you can do it. Just keep one foot in fron tof the other...one day at a time. You will pay your bills and have money to do other things with. this pot has no hold on your life anymore God is in control and he will help you if you ask him outloud. i agree with you in the asking. Amen.

Answer 5

get busted it is still illegal and there are somethings that u can do like keeping ur mind off of it by doing other things like going for a walk and or being in a public place where u know u cant smoke but just think about what is gunna happen when u get busted and it doesnt matter how carful you are u have to look at the people that u get it from and so forth if one goes down they are gunna take everyone down and they arent gunna care if u are their friends or not so just keep that in minds

Answer 6

You are addicted. I suggest you seek help at a drug 12 step program to kick the habit. You need to stop buying it and hanging around people who smoke it too. Change you life, you will be happier and healthier (and financially better) for it.

Answer 7

you have to go cold turkey but it really helps to have a tranquilizer the first couple of days, just take one at night to help take the edge off, nothing crazy, you certainly don't want to get hooked on those, they're worse, but if used properly you can get off pot a lot easier

Answer 8

Detoix yourself, deal with the mood swings, they will subside within a week or two. Angry is another problem, see a phys about the problem that is really bothering you. Don't go to other drugs please, deal with one drug at a time, all will come in to focus for you.

Answer 9

Since marijuana is non addicting what else are you taking? Should check your marijuana and see what it is lased with.

Of course if this all is true.....Has a ring to it of someone wanting attention.....

Answer 10

It's not addicting - just quit.
