While Marijuana is not a hard drug like heroin, cocaine or ice and has not been linked to cancer and heart disease like cigarette smoking the overuse of pot has ruined or inhibited many lives. Whatever your reason for wanting to know how to quit weed forever these tips for quitting pot may help you live the life you want to.

1. Understand your addiction
The first thing you must do is realise what your addiction actually is. You see, unlike cigarettes which contain nicotine which causes a chemical addictioin in your body that gives you physical cravings for a smoke pot has no such chemicals. The addiction most pot smokers have is what is labled a mental addiction. This means that there is no chemical or physical need to go an smoke some Marijuana, it is instead simply something you have come to believe you need because it is comfortable and the high you get feels good and you do not want to let it go; this is a psycological need;

2. Understand your psycological need
Once you can accept that your addiction stems from a psycological need you can move to understand that need. Is smokign an escape from a harsh reality? Is it simply a symptom of boredom? Is it because all your friends use pot too? The reasons we develop addictions are many and varied but understandiong the core of it can allow you to set yourself free.

3. Find something to replace your addiction
This does not mean find another drug! It does however mean that while you try to quit pot you need to develop some coping mechanisms when you feel the need to use pot again. Findign something creative and fulfilling to fill that void can often lead to great things.

4. Develop your will to quit
As was said, Marijuana is not chemically addictive so quitting comes down to willpower. Now this does not mean that if you feel the need to use pot again you have weak willpower as psycological addiction can be very strong in people asspecially those who have used weed for many years. It does however mean that it will come down to what you do and the support the people around you offer, there are no pot "patches".

How to quit smoking pot is much easier said than done but it is very possible to quit weed forever if you understand your addiction and take steps to remedy this core problem along with some willpower and a drive to succeed you can do this!
