Stop Smoking Marijuana Now: Understanding The Problems That Block Your Path

If you are trying to stop smoking marijuana and not seeing much success

, you need to be aware that there are a number of unseen road blocks that can hinder your success. Becoming aware of these obstacles is the key to your efforts to stop smoking marijuana. Once you are aware of these road blocks and how to deal with them, quitting marijuana can be relatively easy.

The first thing that may hurt your efforts to stop smoking marijuana is your attitude towards the drug, especially if you have smoked for a long time. Are you quitting because YOU want to, or are you trying to please your parents, spouse, or employer? If you are not 100% committed to quitting, you will struggle to stop smoking marijuana.

What does it mean to be un-committed? Do you lie and tell yourself that you will quit as soon as your current baggie is empty? Have you held on yo all your one hitters, bongs pipes and other smoking paraphernalia? Are you still hanging out with friends that smoke dope?

These are all examples of not being 100% committed and will hinder your efforts to stop smoking marijuana. But don't beat yourself up over it. It took months or years to shape your view of the drug and you cannot undo years of conditioning overnight. But just being aware of your outlook when it comes to smoking dope will help you to stop smoking marijuana.

You need to have the view that marijuana is a dangerous drug that is having a negative influence on your life and well being. If you continue to hold popular culture's view of it as the happy go lucky, non-addictive consequence free drug, you will not successfully stop smoking marijuana.

The chemical nature of the drug itself is another thing that may cause problems when you try to stop smoking marijuana. It is the only major recreational drug whose active components build up in fat tissue. THC and its metabolites build up in your system over time and create the well known aside effects of marijuana use. This also creates cravings to smoke more weed and a tolerance to the drug that causes you to smoke more pot more frequently. Finally after you stop smoking marijuana you may experience uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms that drive you back to smoking.

Using a program to stop smoking marijuana that also inlcudes a detox program to remove THC from your system will greatly improve your chances of success. Surprisingly, none of the well known or more conventional systems to stop smoking marijuana include such a detox program. The intensity of the withdrawal may make you start to smoke again.
