1. Understand your addiction

The first thing you must
do is realize what your addiction actually is. You see, unlike
cigarettes which contain nicotine which causes a chemical addiction in
your body that gives you physical cravings for a smoke pot has no such
chemicals. The addiction most pot smokers have is what is labeled a
mental addiction. This means that there is no chemical or physical need
to go an smoke some Marijuana, it is instead simply something you have
come to believe you need because it is comfortable and the high you get
feels good and you do not want to let it go; this is a psychological
need;

2. Understand your psychological need

Once you
can accept that your addiction stems from a psychological need you can
move to understand that need. Is smoking an escape from a harsh
reality? Is it simply a symptom of boredom? Is it because all your
friends use pot too? The reasons we develop addictions are many and
varied but understanding the core of it can allow you to set yourself
free.

3. Find something to replace your addiction

This
does not mean find another drug! It does however mean that while you
try to quit pot you need to develop some coping mechanisms when you
feel the need to use pot again. Finding something creative and
fulfilling to fill that void can often lead to great things.

4. Develop your will to quit

As
was said, Marijuana is not chemically addictive so quitting comes down
to willpower. Now this does not mean that if you feel the need to use
pot again you have weak willpower as psychological addiction can be
very strong in people especially those who have used weed for many
years. It does however mean that it will come down to what you do and
the support the people around you offer, there are no pot "patches".
