Introduction

If you've been smoking cannabis and want to cut down or stop, you may be finding it harder than you expected. Plenty of people have found it difficult to change their use.

This booklet is based on their experiences and presents the kinds of things they found most useful. Some of the ideas may work better for you than others, but that's normal, since everyone's different. We hope you find this a useful starting point; you may find solutions we don't even mention here.
