People smoking weed when they want without recrimination? Good. Not being able to stop smoking weed even when you want to? Bad.

This subreddit is for practical discussions about how to stop smoking if you've decided to and support in staying stopped from your fellow leaves. The only requirement for being here is that you have decided it's time to quit for good.

If you're looking for meetings or additional help try Marijuana Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, or SMART Recovery.

Please note: Our first and most important rule is that we be kind, courteous, and supportive with each other. Even (and maybe especially) people that aren't being kind to us. If someone is breaking this rule, please use the report button and we'll sort it out. Remember that you're here to actively inspire people toward success, yourself included.

Keep it About You: This group is pot-positive and we have no problems with weed other than the fact that it isn't right for us, so we keep this a selfish place. If your problem is with other people, other smokers, or cannabis in general then keep it about how that affect you.

You're welcome to talk about bad experiences, but they have to be yours, not other people's, society's, or general anti-smoking opinion. If your post doesn't have "I" or "me" in it you should question whether you're describing your own experience or just talking about others.

Also, this is a politics-free zone. There are lots of thoughts on legalization and plenty of places to debate them, but they are a distraction from the mission of this subreddit which is to help people stop smoking.

Badges: We get occasional requests for badges -- please see this post: http://bit.ly/K0Y6Hg

Other things that will be removed:

Posts regarding strategies, wait times, products or anything related to drug testing or "detoxing."

Posts in which the sole subject is tolerance breaks or moderation management. This subreddit is for people who have decided to quit for good, not for people who will resume or continue.

Posts discussing or advocating weed substitutes, CBD, or any remedies other than mutual support and the sharing of our experience. There are medications that can help mitigate the effects of quitting or conditions that might have contributed to addiction, but you should get those from a doctor, not an Internet chat group.

We only allow text posts, and recommendations of resources outside the group will most likely be removed. Outside resources can be informative or inspiring, but it's better to talk about your personal experience and inspiration in your own words.

The only thing we want to hear about is you, and on that topic you're the world's foremost expert.

This include your own quitting or vlog videos. I'm afraid we just don't have time to review them as part of the modding process.
