Now before you read... PLEASE read everything because i took my time to write this, and you will get MUCH out of this!
CHANGE FRIENDS, for starters, hang around with your family as much as you can, find a friend that have been in the EXACT same position as you are in, and talk to him about how to stop, indeed he will answer, "Just stop" and thats the best answer! But you need to have hope in Allah that he will guide you away from it, and when you decide not to do it again, EMEDIATELY REPENT, repent to Allah(Aza wa Djall) and ask him to give you streangth and have hope in him, because he forgives all sinns as long as you repent!
Important: CHANGE FRIENDS, do not hang around with them, not even talk to them, because they will make you want to do it again, shaytan is playing with them and he wants you to join. if needed, run away from them, after a while, they will notice that you want to start a new fresh life without Haram, if they are not muslims, then just say.. i have become really religious and i dont want any bad deeds!
My dear brother, this isnt hard belive me, not at all, because weed isnt like smoking, you can stop smoking weed after a day! You will only feel a desire for the first week, then after that, your body will feel much more fresher and that will be as a New "high" for you!
While in fact its reality.. Turn to Allah Akhi, make senciere tawbah and have hope.. ALLWAYS remind yourself about death, where ever you go where ever you are what ever you think when ever... REMEMBER DEATH because remembering death is a joy destroyer.. When ever you get the urge to smoke, just say "Audhubillah imine shaytan irajeem" and turn away.. Keep yourself busy watching lectures by Dr Zakir Naik and /or Ahmed Deedat at youtube.com.. start to read books because thats like brain food, in the begining it will be hard to read, but after a week or two, you will love it, but read books about Reality (I.e Islam).. begin with Qur'an... then buy books about Qur'an.. then Buy books like "Signs of the last hour" .. and "Qur'an miracle of miracles" etc.. Go to your local masjid and ask for help.. (quick note: I know that im giving alots of advices but take your time and do one think at a time and not everything in one day) He He! Join a Muslim Chat, and talk to them get to know them for example "www.stickam.com and then chose Islam talk" or "Paltalk" and look for something about Islam! When you read books.. write down interesting things and show your NEW friends what you found!
Change your entire life:
Change the clothing, change the "Slummer" speach, change the attitude, stop listening to rap, rock, etc.. in other words dont listen to music but listen to the Qur'an and Nasheeds(Muslim songs)
What to do alot:
Good deeds, for example make Dhikr(If you dont know what dhikr is its remembrance of Allah in your heart and mind), help others, read Qur'an, start making Dawah.. ETC!
What to think about the most:
Death, and how much good you will get out of stoping (I.e firstand foremost Allahs pleasure and second saving money and health)
When a friend calls and says "What up bro wanna smoke":
Reply, no, not at all i stoped yesterday and i want to start a new life bro my health cant take this, i will be away for some time because i have become religious!
When to stop:
NOW!..... Yeah, NOW not "InshAllah tomorrow" or "When Allah wills"
If Shaytan makes you fall again:
FIRST and foremost DONT LET HIM, but if..... IF.. NOTE THE KEYWORD: I F he makes you smoke again, then REPENT as fast as you can, REPENT and never go back!
To my conclusion:
PRAY PRAY PRAY PRAY PRAY PRAY / FAST FAST FAST FAST FAST !
Pray the 5 daylie.. and fast the first days after you stoped.. and DO NOT break your fast! EVER!
Pray and make Du3a that Allah will guide you!
May Allah guide you away from this evil, this weapon of Shaytan, may he(Allah(swt)) make you strong and may he make you realise how great life is without that poison, and may Allah(swt) protect you, may he increase our iman and guide us All into Jannah! Ameen
Yes. It is a drug, affects the way your body works, and if you take too much it can kill you, and Allah (swt) has commanded that we do not kill ourselves.
...And do not kill yourselves (nor kill one another). Surely, Allah is Most Merciful to you.
{Qur'an; 4:29}
How to stop:
Do your friends smoke weed aswell? If so, you must find new friends, bro', or you'll just do whatever they do as you class them as friends.
Make Du'a, asking Allah (swt) to help you stop.
Try not to think about it too much, and instead do something else in your spare time. This is important as if you do not do that, you will keep questioning yourself "Shall I just do it just for the sake of killing time?"
And most importantly, in your heart you must have full ambitions to quit.
Keep us updated on how you're doing, bro', please .
Should I seek a source of law other than God, when it is He Who has sent down unto you the Book (Qur'an) fully explained? And those whom We have given them the Book know that it has been sent down from the Lord with truth, so be not of those in doubt.
I used to smoke weed, i stole money from family to buy it and sold my possessions to buy it. That says it all right there. Weed will mess with your brain to make you do things u wouldn't usually do. When i was smoking it and i didn't have any i became angry and moody, when i did have some i smoked it got high and went to sleep. I think we should keep ourselves pure for Allah, keep our minds intact and not let our decisions be influenced.

Just for the sake of bro ashareef's knowledge:
Do you feel better after quitting smoking weed?
Do you feel it was a waste of time and money?
Would you recommend that everybody stayed away from it completely?

Yeah, i feel better now that im not on it. It wasted too much time and money.
I failed my school exams because of it, I almost failed my college course because of it, I've been mugged on the way to buy it. Its just overall a bad thing to get into. It made me paranoid and for nearly two years i was really terrified of eating solid foods so i survived on liquids and soft foods like mashed potatoes.
Cannabis was one of the worse things to ever happen to me.
What people don't realize is that it does do you damage. People think "Oh it wont happen to me" but it does, it effects everyone physically, psychologically and emotionally.
The best thing to do is to see how terrible it is before you've become too far into it.
I quit smoking it many times but due to the people i hung around with (other stoners), i soon fell back into my old ways so it is good to change the people you hang around with because they can influence you heavily.
ohh tablets
i hate taking tablets. u might not believe this but i've never took tablets only like three times.
and thats because my mum forced me too lol
Three simple rules in life:
1) If you do not go after what you want, you will never have it
2) If you don't ask, the answer will always be no.
3) If you do not step forward, you'll always be in the same place
There is no doubt that taking drugs is haraam, including hashish, opium, cocaine, morphine, and so on. That is for many reasons, including the following:
1 – It dulls the senses and befogs the mind, and whatever does that is haraam, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Every intoxicant is khamr, and every intoxicant is haraam. Whoever drinks khamr in this world and dies persisting in that and without having repented, will not drink it in the Hereafter.” Narrated by Muslim, 2003.
Course its haram Brav, enyfin' that harms your body is. Like why pay some next minor waisemans to breath in smoke. If you wan get high, burn a fire in yo' backyard & smoke that Blaaad. Sorry, I just feel very strongly about it. Like why mess up your life? Dun't go that way, thats for wasie brehs. Just find other means of enjoying life. That crap messes you up like. Take it ez & Good Luck
Any substance that makes you dependent on it is Haram. You need to change the inlfuences around you that make it easy for you to smoke weed. This my be your friends, your job, or even how busy you are.
I was talking somone about this the other day and the sister was saying to me weed is haram as it changes your state of mind. At the same time doesnt love change people state of mind etc etc ?
Its natural at the end of the day. If you have the pure stuff its haram ? o well dont bother me, i dont smoke that crap
Haha this is such a common questions. When I tell my friends its haram they throw hundreds of excuses at me. Theyre like "weed doesnt get me hi" or weed isnt addicting or weed helps me focus and do better in school and they even say "weed helps me to become a better muslim" One of them is so passionate about it he wrote an essay for school about the benefits of weed and how the govt falsely makes weed look bad. He actually almost had me convinced. lol, he was like the Zakir Naik of weed. But, the fact remains that weed IS an intoxicant. Why do u think its illegal to drive with marijuana. And because it is Khamr(intoxicant) it is automatically haram. It says in Surah Al-Baqarah and I think Surah Al-Maidah. It says khamr is an ithmun kabeerun. Big Sin.
Surah Baqarah verse 219: "They ask you about intoxicants and games of chance. Say: In both of them there is a great sin and means of profit for men, and their sin is greater than their profit. And they ask you as to what they should spend. Say: What you can spare. Thus does Allah make clear to you the communications, that you may ponder" (2:219)
Evenif it were halal that would not remove it from the list of stupid,juvenile and wasteful things in life.
There are many more less costy and less painful was to damage your brain.
Yes,it does cause permanent brain damage syptoms that are very simlar to alzheimer's syndome.
I dont smoke it, never did, but - Are you sure it causes permanent brain damage? Its sometimes used in the UK to help patients who are ill. Saying that it has gone up from a Class C drug to a Class B drug in the UK.

Salam, yes I see your point but thats not just your freinds. I'm sure alot of people who cant follow Islam or look for a excuse say things like that.
