I've been smoking weed for over 30 years, not large quantities but high frequency, less these last few years, but still at least a couple of hits of very strong bud at night, and certainly not uncommon to take a toke during the day. I've tried to quit a million times unsuccessfully. I get all the classic symptoms - anxiety, despair, anger, cravings, headaches, flu symptoms - starting about day 3. In this recent attempt, after a few days, I've broken down and gone to the dispensary and purchased just a small amount, just enough to get high that night, and make sure there are no crumbs around for the next day. Doing this a couple times a week has cut down on my smoking by 90%, but still seems to leave me on an emotional roller-coaster. Wondering if some kind of tapering-off method like this has worked for anyone, not worked, or am I just resetting the clock every time and dragging out the discomforts?
