Do you feel you’re losing focus and concentration? Is weed taking a toll on your relationships? Is it taking over your life? The longer you have used marijuana, the harder it is to quit. Maybe, like many others, you have experienced anxiety, sleeplessness, and strong cravings when you’ve tried coming off it. This ground-breaking guide is based on the experience of hundreds of users. It cuts through the folklore surrounding marijuana to reveal the truth about its impact on your health and how to quit for good. The expert author team, based at a specialist cannabis management clinic, provides practical tools on getting free from pot for the long term. You will find real-life case studies of former users who’ve regained control of their life, together with proven strategies for managing withdrawal symptoms. The team also shows how to help a relative or friend come off the drug. If you are serious about quitting cannabis, this is the one book you must read.
One part in the beginning of the book warns that that chapter reads like a textbook, but I though most of the book read like a textbook. I did find the descriptions of cannabis addiction and withdrawal helpful and poignant, as most people wrongly believe that cannabis is not addictive and therefore think there is no withdrawal associated with stopping its use, which is just flat-out wrong. I won't be using many of the resources provided in the book, as I've managed to successfully quit already using variations of methods I've learned previously, but I do see that they could be very useful and helpful to some. The suggestions for how to deal with withdrawal and lifestyle change associated with quitting are very helpful.
