I'm smoking weeds since 10 years. how can i stop smoking? is it more dangerous than classic tobacco cigarette?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If you stop: Withdrawal symptoms resolve in 2-3 weeks Gabapentin and N acetyl cysteine (1200 twice daily) have published success. I may add high dose naltrexone with less consistent benefit. Clonidine can help. Valium will also he helpful and a sedative is essential in the worst cases but carries its own risk of dependence.
