In 2 months time I'll be quitting Weed & Cigarettes.

Starting the gym back up, a dieting plan and a healthier lifestyle overall.

Has anyone else experienced quitting, if so how did it go?

Quit weed when I got caught. I'd only been doing it for 5-ish months so quitting was a non problem but after a while I started missing it. I play a lot of sports so I found after quitting that I had some issues breathing when running but that is compounded on childhood asthma so that might be an entirely different circumstance. Good luck my friend, I wish you the best in your endeavor. Weed should be easy, but cigarettes are an entirely different monster of their own.

I always wonder why people quit after they get caught. I also have the same problem, I used to be able to run long distances (competitive) and now when I run up the fucking street I puff out, it scares me. I feel like I'll want weed more then ciggies.

I had to quit because I didn't really have an option. Mother is very anti-weed. Once it becomes legal in Canada and legal for me to smoke and grow, I'll probably pick it back up again.

I hear quitting weed is easier than cigarettes, although I'm more inclined to disagree. If health is your only concern, perhaps consider swapping to vaporizers. Inhaling burning plant smoke over time will no doubt harm your lungs.

I have been smoking since I was nine, really nasty habit to break but it is worth it. Weed has a thicker tar and is slightly addictive, quitting both at the same time is going to be hell, you are going to be angry, short fused, and impatient, so hitting the gym will help. I have quit smoking numerous times, but somehow I always mange to fuck up and start back then takes me a few more year to break it again.

I know it's going to be hell, I've started limiting my usage on ciggies and weed prior to quitting so it becomes easier.

I quit weed just because I could not control my eating. For a guy like me who gains weight easily and works my ass off for my aesthetics, it was not worth it. Best of luck, you're making a smart decision if you have the same issue as me. If not... you can get away with smoking weed and being lean af lol.

I have quit weed multiple times, cigarettes as well.

In my opinion there are 2 things you can do:

1) Quit immediately, with 1 or both substances. Though this might be too hard for your body (talking about the cigarettes) to process.
Weed is easier to quit since an addiction can only be mentally, because weed is not physically addictive, while cigarettes are.
For some people this is better, but sometimes it occurs that they need it so bad they just think "fuck it, I'm starting again"

2) Decrease your "dosage" each day (with 1 or both substances) . If you smoke a pack a day you start with smoking half a pack a day etc...
Sometimes this is better since there is more time for the body and mind to accept you're quitting and getting used to that you don't need the substance.
Though sometimes it may occur that you realize that you actually don't want to quit and continue.

~ I quitted cigarettes some time ago as well, but I didn't quit weed, since I just think if you don't overuse it, it can have a lot of "benefits" and I just like to do it, so I wouldn't see why I want to quit.
Of course this would be different if I got health issues or a kid or something or I'd buy a house, basically big events I'd defintely have the strength and commitment to stop.

You're certainly taking a step In the right direction.

I used to be a very heavy smoker (cigarettes), and made every "excuse" to quit- ranging from New Year's resolutions to doing It on my birthday, Christmas and so forth. Of course, they were simply excuses and nothing more. The day finally arrived when I just had enough, took the packet of cigarettes and threw It In the waste basket. I haven't had a puff since, and that was nearly 10 years ago.

The moral to this story Is, you need to be "mentally" ready. The mind Is a very powerful tool and If It's not used accordingly, It simply overrides all Intentions and expectations.
