Marijuana is not addictive. There are no cell link restructuring side effects as with smoking cigarettes. This is a mental health problem that you can find help for with a therapist. Rehab isn't nessacary and more drugs won't fix the problem. Have someone help you learn to exhibit self control until you can stand on your own. Best of luck to you.

I doubt it, even if the doctor did prescribe you anything, it wouldn't work. You need to have self control & will power. If you really want to quit, you will -on your own without relying on anything else. YOU is the only medicine to stop doing drugs.

I'm a nurse and yes any anxiety medicine will work for you. This will replace the marijuana, see a doctor. Be very proud of yourself some people never quit. Take care

You don't have a pot problem you have an anger and anxiety problem. Put your efforts into dealing with that.

No. You would do best to learn to manage anger and anxiety without drugs. Most anti anxiety medications are addictive. You would be changing one drug for another. Prescription drugs have long range effects too.

I don't know of anything to help you quit, you just got to make up your mind and do it. I did it after smoking heavily for 7 yrs. As for anxiety and anger there are plenty of prescription drugs you can take, but I still believe marijuana was the best stress reliever. And less harmful in my opinion. It didn't cause all theese wierd side effects my medication does.

Synthetic cannibol, I guess. Also, there are may anti-anxiety drugs like Xanax, Klonopin, the list is endless. You do need a doctor to figure out which is right for you. My advice is to get a prescription for medical marijuana, if you can. I understand your issues, and in my opinion grass is a great sleep and stress aid, a much better cure than pills.
