Why Inspiration helps to quit weed sooner than you think.

quit weed
It is not a secret that inspiration does help to get rid of a habit. Its is not rocket science that real life scenarios move people in different ways than they didnt know they can think about and thats why I thought I should write a bit about some inspiration on this blog. 

It pays to expose yourself to some real life experiences of others, who have the same problem as you do, and thats why people try to gather with the same kind of people who go through the same things in their life. 
It helps to think outside your daily routine, and what others go through because of their decisions. There is a somewhat witty slogan, it goes as this  "My failures are the pillars of my success, Your failures are also my pillars of success as well. " Thats a long way of telling learn from others mistakes.

Can marijuana smoking lead to lung cancer.

This is probably a question you might want answers for if you are using marijuana. While some people firmly believes marijuana smoking can lead to lung cancer some firmly disagree.

It doesn't matter whether you have smoked weed or not, if weed causes such a problem you would like to know right?

There has been some studies (Not a lot) to see whether there is a link between weed and lung cancer. Somehow, nobody at present has provided with any significant result. However some concerns in this regard might be advised.

Self help hypnosis for relaxing and meditation to quit weed.


Sit down, take your shoes off and listen to this video track from giveupweed.com to help you get over that uneasiness or that craving to have a smoke session. This is the first time I'm sharing a video on this blog and also anything on meditation techniques. I hope it helps you to relax and meditate in order to suppress that craving you are bound face when you quit smoking weed.

If you can do this every time you get the craving to smoke weed, it will help you to get away from that desire deep within.

This is a basic method of relaxation used to supress negative thoughts in the mind and inner brain activity. It may be anger, a craving to have a sweet or smoking, or even a thought to go slap someone right across the face with a chair, twice.

If you get you use this meditation technique for 3-5 mins you can come over it. Guaranteed.

The first few times you might want to listen to the track, until you get the hang of it. After sometime you will get used to it and would be able to just walk to a corner touch a tree or some organic thing, even grass or the soil and do the meditation. When you excel at it, you can look at a wall and do it.

Your mind is where your addiction is. Especially a habitual addiction like smoking weed. If you attack your thought with this method you can easily work your way through it. Good luck..

Keep reading... more posts to come very soon.

Medical use of weed - the myths and truths of addiction.

Lets face the facts, people from all ages, groups, nationalities and cultures consume weed for many reasons.

However, it is disturbing to see a 14 year old or a pregnant lady smoking weed even for a weed addict. Why?
Because they know, that the child or lady don't seem to recognize the implications of smoking weed.

Some of the people I know have started or been introduced to Ganja (weed) when they were Children or a young teen. They thought to try it, because they know their brother or sister ( or their parents) smokes weed or they have seen it on TV or films and thought it was funny and an awesome experience.  Most of the addicts I know have started their abuse due to peer pressure and friends. Lets face it, you wouldn't try something out if you didnt see somebody else using it or a person introducing it to you. Its the same feeling like buying something after seeing and advertisement right?
Weed ( Marijuana, Pot, Ganja, Mary J or Cannabis), we all know is a plant. We also know weed is used for medicines for its bound chemicals. It is widely used for HIV and Cancer patients or people who have met with an accident and have injuries as a painkiller. What people don't know is that its the last straw a doctor decides to prescribe Marijuana when all other pain relievers fail. Doctors also use weed for patients with serious mental disorders. Now what weed users tell you is that marijuana is medically used for its healing powers, and will also tell you that its god given medicine. I have read many comments in my research, people who defend the use is Cannabis, states its the way you take it, you should vaporize it, or eat it or its the cigarette paper that harms the lungs etc etc... What they don't realize is that in medicine Marijuana is used to relieve patients of pain so they gain appetite, relieve nausea of other treatments and as I said kill pain. It doesn't heal or cure any medical condition mentioned above.

Weed is used also to treat glaucoma, Alzheimers, stomach and intestine problems, tremors, seizures and epilepsy etc. and the use of good chemicals in weed are researched in many ways to treat a vast spectrum of illnesses and conditions.
There is no record or proof that primary use of Cannabis has resulted in any deaths.

Why is Marijuana so effective and prescribed by doctors?
Cannabis Plant is used in medicine, because of its chemicals. There are around 500 different compounds in weed. THC or Tetrahydrocannabinol is the most prevalent chemical in the plant.  THC has been found to have antioxidant activity and believed to interact with parts of the brain normally controlled by the endogenous cannabinoid neurotransmitter, anandamide which play a role in pain sensation, memory, and sleep.

THC if taken in large quantity, will get dumped around the Dopamine receptor which basically controls the rewards system of the brain. Nearly all drugs, directly or indirectly, target the brain's reward system by flooding the circuit with dopamine. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter (or communication agent) present in regions of the brain that control movement, emotion, motivation, and feelings of pleasure. The over-stimulation of this system, which normally responds to natural behaviors that are linked to survival (eating, spending time with loved ones, etc.), produces euphoric effects in response to the drugs. This is the time that users feel relaxed and happy and this reaction sets in motion a pattern that "teaches" people to repeat the behavior of abusing drugs.

As a person continues to abuse drugs, the brain adapts to the overwhelming surges in dopamine by producing less dopamine or by reducing the number of dopamine receptors in the reward circuit. As a result, dopamine's impact on the reward circuit is lessened, reducing the abuser's ability to enjoy the drugs and the things that previously brought pleasure. This decrease compels those addicted to drugs to keep abusing drugs in order to attempt to bring their dopamine function back to normal. And, they may now require larger amounts of the drug than they first did to achieve the dopamine high-an effect known as tolerance.

Long-term abuse causes changes in other brain chemical systems and circuits as well. Glutamate is a neurotransmitter that influences the reward circuit and the ability to learn. When the optimal concentration of glutamate is altered by drug abuse, the brain attempts to compensate, which can impair cognitive function. Drugs of abuse facilitate non-conscious learning, which leads the user to experience uncontrollable cravings when they see a place or person they associate with the drug experience, even when the drug itself is not available. Brain imaging studies of drug-addicted individuals show changes in areas of the brain that are critical to judgment, decision making, learning and memory, and behavior control. Together, these changes can drive an abuser to seek out and take drugs compulsively despite adverse consequences-in other words, to become addicted to drugs. This is where you will do anything to find the money to purchase weed.
 
Therefore, it is possible for a person to be seen as normal even under the influence, provided he/she is not a long-term user due to the time it takes for the effects of marijuana to show externally. Plus, the sensations of the use weed also will vary from person to person. If you want to see a full list of signs a person is smoking pot read here.

Cannabis overdose also can cause paranoia and psychosis, produce sharp personality changes, Lung Damage, chronic bronchitis, lowering of testosterone, acute anxiety attacks, chronic reduction of attention span and possible birth defects, still births and infant death.

So when you say its not addictive, please realize its not the physical addiction but the mental addiction that will bring you down.


According to my experience, with drug abusers.
1 joint a day for 4 weeks will give you symptoms of overdose, and effect you internal organs permanently.
3 joints a week for 6 months will also give you the same.
1 joint a week is okay for some people who have a healthy life, but some people with respiratory issues tend to develop complications even so.

Once in a while of everything is always fine. But addiction is something that is always bad.

Quit Smoking Weed for your own good, and for those who love you the most. Remember, with the pollution levels going high, everyday you don't have to smoke anything to get lung cancer. however remember you using weed will not only harm you, your brothers sisters and your kids will observe you, and you might have a better resistance to the pollution now, and the new generation might not be so lucky.

So you quitting now, will not only help you, but others around you too...

Take action, don't get kicked around by people addicted to the same thing they are defending. take the decision and never go back..

As always if you need to quit smoking weed, you should plan it.
I would recommend always to follow a tried and tested program if you can enroll into one. or read my blog as I build it and make your own program.

The below programs give more details and methods you can use in your journey.

How to get weed out of your system - Detoxification

Detox




This is the most important thing when it comes to Quitting Weed.

Detoxification for weed means removing the toxins in your system. You take in toxins into your system every time you smoke weed, the main toxin you should be worried about is Tetrahydrocannabinol or THC in short.

THC get stored in your body fat, hair and skin. So its a difficult thing to take out, but don't worry its not that hard if you put you 100% for it.

Here is what you need.

1) A Lot of Drinking Water - You should drink in as much as you can and urinate as much as you can.

2) Vinegar - Mix about 50-50 if you can drink with water, or start 30-70 and increase gradually.

3) Fruit Juice - Citrus ( Lemon,Lime ) , Cranberry, Bananas, Cantaloupe, Grapes, Apricots and berries
                       apples, grapefruits, kiwi, oranges and tangerines anything with Electrolytes.

4) Sauna, Steam Bath or a hot car under the sun. You need to make yourself sweat like crazy.

5) Exercise


First you need to start walking or jogging, biking or hit the gym. Now due to other health conditions, don't go over do it in the first go.. start slow and gradually increase your time and length of exercise. Never suddenly exercise yourself to the brim after a few years without exercise, it will strain your body and can lead to many complications. so take it slow.

The idea is burn your fat, sweat a lot and get the stored THC out.
You will need to drink alot of water and urinate (piss) and get the THC stored in fat out of your body.
Take a Bath after a good sweat session in a hot car and don't let the THC work its way back in to your skin.
Have a short hair cut, if you want THC in your hair out.  Make it nice


It will take a full week or two, if you are a heavy smoker to get the THC out. The second day is the worst so plan a holiday on the second and third day. Plan for a long weekend or apply for a holiday from work to get this thing done once and for all.

Now is the time a good program will be very helpful. Go here to get a tried full program if you need it or follow the above in your own time.

I would recommend always to follow a tried and tested program if you can enroll into one.
The below programs give more details and methods you can use in your journey.

Quit Smoking Weed - The Next Steps

If you are reading this then you should have already read my first article here.

Now that you know why you want to quit and what you will get lets go to the actual quitting.

Let me tell you that quitting smoking weed is a hard thing to do. A lot of people addicted to it, try to stop smoking weed only to go back in a few months time. That's because they don't do it right.

First of all, you need to realize there are plenty of people out there who have been addicted to weed worse than you and have now come out of it successfully and living a good life. People normally don't discuss these things after, therefore you will find more addicts in light than quitters. So don't worry it has been done before plenty of times.

You cant make a time frame to it either, different people with different motivation, culture, and society background will take shorter or longer time to completely stop smoking weed.

And now its time for you.


STOP WEED USE


The first thing you should do is, dump everything that reminds you about weed, the posters, music, things that are on your table, in the car, and office EVERYTHING!

That's it.. round everything up, dump them away, I don't mean in a cupboard or drawer put them in the dustbin and even see it taken away from home. Tell your mind that's it, I'm on my way for a weed free life.

Next is people, that is the hard part of the early stage. Now you might be having a lot of friends close to you who smoke with you. You are used to the lifestyle of meeting these people all the time. You need to make a decision and tell them you don't smoke anymore if you cant do this right now, tell them you are really really busy and avoid them.

Now everybody you know don't smoke weed right? Tell whoever you can trust and close to you, that you are trying to quit smoking weed. Get their support, associate with them more than others. Now, if you have had a bad patch before in your relationship, this change in you might strike that person in surprise. Don't give up, don't push it either just hope they will support you. Give them a extra call, ask a question, ask how they are and make conversation.

Next big step is making yourself busy during the normal times you smoke weed. Start a project, a hobby, clean your room, order your files, work on your car, write a novel, read a book, exercise, get your self enrolled in a study program a diploma or some course on something you always wanted to do. Anything that will keep your hands and mind busy. 


The best way to make yourself busy, I know that works is exercise. It gives you the same kind of rush any drug will do but in a healthy manner if you enjoy doing it. A dance class is another favorite of mine. It doesn't have to be ballroom it can be Salsa or Rumba which is always better. Gardening is also something that works miracles plus your lawn will look better and you will have your own  home grown vegetables. Think of ways you can help at your home.
Some also believe in going to church more often. whatever works do it.


This will help you to drastically reduce your weed consumption early.

But you should not be in a hurry, With all this its natural for you to smoke once in a while, but not as much as you were supposed to be that's the key.
The reason for this is THC and other chemicals you have taken in before, while smoking weed. These Chemicals stay in your system for a long time, and if you quit weed all at once the body will react to it and give you the urges to smoke again plus many more side effects you wont like. Discuss this with the people around you and seek support from them.

You need to make the decision firm and stick with it, reduce your weed intake. You can make a schedule for one month or even more.. if you take in 5 pot sessions daily reduce it to 2 a day, in a week. Next week GO once a day, then every other day, then only on Fridays with your friends. and thats it..

Congratulations you have basically got off you addiction to it.

But still your body will ask for weed, this is where detox come in..plus if you can detox from early stages it helps you to get rid of your habit more easily.

I will write on detoxifying your body for weed in a separate post and link it here.

Remember to keep your priorities straight, your health comes first of everything, your family , Job, Friends come later. because if you are sick nothing really matters now does it?!

So Take Action now..

And as in all my posts here, I firmly believe if you buy something you will use it.
You will need help in organizing your program.
The below programs give more details and methods you can use in your journey.
