False, you can develop psychological and physiological withdrawal from anything that you repeatedly do as a habit over time that induces feelings or sensation:

According to many addiction specialists, potential addictions can include, but are not limited to, exercise addiction, food addiction, drug addiction, computer addiction, sex addiction and gambling addiction. Currently, only substance addictions and gambling addiction are recognized by the DSM-5. ΔFosB, a gene transcription factor, is now known to be a critical component and common factor in the development of virtually all forms of behavioral and drug addictions.[8][9][10] Classic hallmarks of addiction include impaired control over substances or behavior, preoccupation with substance or behavior, continued use despite consequences, and denial.[11] Habits and patterns associated with addiction are typically characterized by immediate gratification (short-term reward), coupled with delayed deleterious effects (long-term costs).[12]

Physiological dependence occurs when the body has to adjust to the substance by incorporating the substance into its "normal" functioning.[13] This state creates the conditions of tolerance and withdrawal. Tolerance is the process by which the body continually adapts to the substance and requires increasingly larger amounts to achieve the original effects. Withdrawal refers to physical and psychological symptoms experienced when reducing or discontinuing a substance that the body has become dependent on. Symptoms of withdrawal generally include but are not limited to anxiety, irritability, intense cravings for the substance, nausea, hallucinations, headaches, cold sweats, and tremors.

Very cool, well not for the person, but wasn't aware of this!

I'd suggest frequent and vigorous exercise. I quit smoking pot must be over 10 years ago now. Just one morning we sat down for a morning toke and I was like 'oh yeah I'm quitting' and just never really smoked again, besides maybe 5 times since then.

Felt a bit lousy but took up running, exercise generates the good brain chemicals. I know it doesn't sound like something you'd want to try when you'd rather be smoking, but it works.

You're right, aerobic exercise is about the only way to rebuild dopamine receptors, which are basically "depleted" or "deformed" during any addiction.

Find a nice clean drug free woman, easiest way to quit imo. Smoked my way from middle to high school and stopped cold turkey (if that is such a thing for weed) first day I took my now wife out on a date.

Also a great way to get in shape if said woman eats right and exercises, unless you drag her down into the darkness >.>

is that the only reason you are looking to cut back?

how are you blazing these days? Do you dab, vaporize, bong?

Listen for those who don't know any better, we learned in school that marijuana causes cancer, brain damage, pre mature death, and unwanted violence. It has been banned and illegal for almost a Century under Federal Law for a REASON. And did you know since January 2014, there has been reports of 80% increase in 'drugged' driving in the states of Washington and Colorado which leads to more evidence that traffic fatalities are on the rise due to being stoned? (Source: DMV Statistics report Washington and Colorado)

My whole point here is that we already have alcohol, tobacco, and prescription pills to deal with, why should we add another drug to our already chaotic and uncertain world? And no, I don't drink, I don't smoke, I don't take pills, you don't need that kind of junk for a successful and happy life.

Lastly, if you think inhaling smoke into your healthy lungs is considered 'medicine', then I am not the one who is out of touch. Doctors are even prescribing this stuff to children for Heaven's sake. What's next? Cocaine for restless-leg syndrome? Gimmie a break.. enough, tired of arguing and all you need to be happy is Everquest and The Bible thank you~
