About Please Quit Weed
To be the friend you needed when you were trying to quit weed — honest, informed, and on your side.
This site exists because when I was trying to quit weed, I couldn't find a single resource that actually spoke to me.
I smoked every day for over six years. Started as a college thing, turned into a "wake and bake" thing, turned into a thing I was doing before meetings, during movies, in my car at lunch, and in the shower. I tried to quit — honestly tried — probably a dozen times. I'd make it three days, feel like my brain was liquefying, and go right back.
Every resource I could find fell into one of two categories. The first was government health pages written in a tone so clinical and judgmental that reading them made me feel like a criminal rather than someone with a genuine problem. The second was rehab marketing dressed up as advice — pages designed to funnel you into a $45,000 treatment program for a habit that, for most of us, does not need a treatment program.
Neither of those is what I needed. What I needed was a friend who had been through it. Someone who could tell me, at hour 60 of withdrawal, that yes the sweats are real, yes the dreams will come back violently around night five, yes your appetite will return, yes this will not be forever.
I built this site to be that friend for other people.
The "Please" In the Name
The "please" is not me pleading with you to quit. I am not here to convince you. Recreational use is fine. Plenty of people smoke weed and live happy, functional lives. This site is not for them.
The "please" is the voice in your own head — the one that says please, when you wake up and realize you are already reaching for the grinder. The one that says please, when you have promised yourself "just tonight" for the hundredth time. The one that says please, because you already know.
If that voice is in your head, this site is for you.

What We Are Not
We are not anti-weed. We are not a rehab facility. We are not the DEA. We are not trying to sell you a $300 CBT program or a miracle supplement. We are just a small team who has been through this ourselves and thinks you deserve better resources than we had.
