It cuts through the folklore surrounding marijuana to reveal the truth about its impact on your health and how to quit for good. The expert author team, based at a specialist cannabis management clinic, provides practical tools on getting free from pot for the long term. You will find real-life case studies of former users who’ve regained control of their life, together with proven strategies for managing withdrawal symptoms. The team also shows how to help a relative or friend come off the drug. If you are serious about quitting cannabis, this is the one book you must read.
