Hi Edgar, yea he has had problems in the past, I know his dad was abusive and he didn't really have a good time at school. I actually don't think it's the weed he's addicted to, it's just that he cant handle bieng sober.

Breaking down and crying on your shoulder?
Cannabis is addictive to a degree. I akin it to caffeine addiction. Mild. But it can be heavily relied on when there are other emotional issues making it appear to be a much more addictive substance than it is. So are there any other issues at hand not mentioned by the person?
What you are seeing is really the unconscious mind and it finding a way to keep the seratonin reward through the conscious mind and that is the (not wanting to let it go feeling), (cant live without it feeling), In a sense the mind is tricking itself. So be aware of that.
Best way to treat any kind of addiction whether that be caffeine, nicotine, meth, alcoholism, herion, pot etc. is to replace that with 12 grams of ascorbic acid powder, (vitamin c) disolved in a full glass of water or mixed with cran-grape juice, divided into 4 doses equally spaced thoughout the day, 3 grams x 4 doses =12grams/day, ( 24hrs). This is roughly 3/4 of a teaspoon, (3grams). Or to convert milligrams to grams just move the decimal point to the left three places. Example 1200milligrams= 1.2 grams.
Ascorbic acid serum levels are important to maintain as the body doesnt store it nor does it manufacture it like other mammals do in the liver in response to stress or illness. Do not take it in pill form it will be to hard on the stomach. Use powder form that readily disolves in fluid.
Humans, Primates, Guinea pigs and the fruit eating bat are the only mammals that cannot manufacture their own ascobic acid from the liver due to an evolved loss of one of three enzymes in the liver. It is essential for the immune system and the stress response by its regulation through the adrenal cortex.
Stress and smoking, (anything), depletes ascorbic acid levels to marginal or below depleted levels along with the modern high glycemic and processed diet and this causes a wide variety of disease and illness of the body and mind which we are all familiar with yet these diseases have been sub-catagorized into seperate diseases when most all fall into the same realm of pre-scruvy or lack of adequate ascorbic acid.
Ascorbic acid is responsible for 30 critical functions in the body. Ascorbic acid is water soluble and is excreted in the urine within hours. This is why serum levels must be maintained every 4 hours.
Do this everyday. The daily dose and spaced dosages can safely be increased, better yet is to push the threshold to the point of diarea, which may be up to 200 grams in 24hrs., 20-25 doses, then drop back down from just that point which diarea doesnt occur and maintain that dose for several days. After that between 6-12 grams a day for life, equally spaced. Added health benefits are too numerous to list from this method.
Dont consume ascorbic acid at the same time as eating food with sodium in it such as baking soda, or soda drinks as this will quickly neutralize the acid before it has time to work. Fortunately it is quickly absorbed in the intestines.
Ascorbic acid is the only substance which can convert two other naturally existant molecules in the brain to seratonin.
This will stimulate natural seratonin production in the brain and give the replacement feeling of well being and this will in turn reduce the need for the substance. Give this 2 to 4 weeks and the cravings will gradually diminish. You should see early results in 72 hrs. Sleep will also be improved.
Stay occupied. Weight lifting is excellent as it will remove thc residue by 2000% through fat metabolism, nothing else works as well for elimination. The oxidation from the fat metabolism will be neutralized by the ascorbic acid in turn as it carries a spare electon which also neutralizes free radicals generated from smoking and excersize. In other words, in larger amounts it acts as a reducing agent but has many different roles as well.
The body and mind will be fatigued if these massive amounts of free radicals cannot be neutralized. So there are several other benefits of this method also.

200 grams in 24hrs.
I don't think it's healthy for it to take you over that make.
I think you need to quit, man.
I'm sure we'd all much rather beat you over the head with a large metal rod. Look man, I don't see how you can just come on these forums (you have 38 posts, so you're still new) and act like you own the fucking place. Someone is trying to get help for their friend and instead of trying to help their situation, you try and start shit and make it worse. Get a fucking life man, you're pathetic. If you don't have anything helpful to say, shut the fuck up and mind your own business. I don't really give a shit about you man, cause it's only a matter of time before a mod sees your avatar and bans your ass (for your info, nudity is prohibited on this site). Keep your asshole comments to yourself man.Quote:

I think will power is a main issue here.... the best thing i can suggest is going to the gym and doing other activities to take his mind off of it. While Marijuana isn't a physically addicting drug, it can be mentally addicting. The need to feel the pleasure of being high can make you quite addicted to it. If he's in college that does not leave the option of going elsewhere for a month or two, so all I can say is that the best chance of him quitting is doing other activities to make him think about other things. Whatever happens, I hope it all works out for you man :). Now I'm going to feed my mental addiction and smoke a bowl... I wish your friend the best of luck :).
Hey guys, thanks for all the help, I appreciate it so much. Ganjasaurusrex, I'm going to print your post and have him try that out.
