I've been reading a lot on these yahoo answers about weed and possible mental addiction.I have been smoking heavily, weed, on a daily basis for the past month and a half. At the highest point of the"high"i feel great and careless but all the other time know i should stop. it is getting in the way of my college studying, job and exercise. i have gained 11lbs.What can i do to stop smoking weed besides simply stopping?Any hotlines or any sort of help i can get? thanks so much.Also, if someone could list the pros and cons of smoking weed.

ok i dont really have any like places u can get help.. but i mean... i definitely know its not good for you at all.. just google what happens to you when you smoke weed.. and click on images.. i got one of my friends to stop by showing them what could happen.. it totally grossed him out and he was like ok im done with that crap.. so i guess you could say seeing what its actually doing to you.. it kinda scares you and so yeah he stopped... also my dad used to smoke and now he has cancer.. and that might be one of the reasons... so if you want my opinion please stop..

I've smoked weed for 30 years and now only every now and then.. Your addiction is all in your head.. If you don't like the effects, then why are you smoking? I loved the effects for years that's why I smoked.. I slowed down when I didn't like being high all the time.. YOu answered your own question about he con's.. Your getting fat and your studies are suffering.Instead of quitting completely.. Why don't you just wait to the weekend or after your studies are done to light up?You don't need hotlines or any of that stuff.. Its a choice..., not a physical addiction silly. You can make the choice just by thinking of how your going to be when you smoke it..
