I was a chronic mj user for many years stopped cold turkey for two months i have had anxiety i used again and symptoms stoped how can i quit mj?

Dr. John Munshower answered

Specializes in Family Medicine

Self medicating: You were apparently self medicating with the mj. You can see a dr. And tell them your history, get an evaluation, and they may be able to rx a medication to help you with your underlying anxiety, where you would not need the mj, and may eventually be weaned off the medications if at all possible. Best wishes.
