You haven’t seen enough.

Yeah I know someone who is having real trouble stopping, he can cold-turkey for a few days but always starts up again. I think he has poor impulse control, which maybe GLP-1s could help, as some studies seem to indicate they help with cravings/impulsive behavior generally. I don't know if any MD would prescribe it for that, he's not obese so could not get it on that basis.
He looks like he’s really addicted to sports betting to me!

Worth trying a tiny dose, from what I understand.

Exploring what he’s self-medicating (and if it can actually be addressed otherwise), is worthwhile, too.

Brain and body/physiology are careful balancing acts!

yes there are no side effects. i have cold turkeyed twice (once when actually in turkey). and nothing bad happened. even AI was telling nothing bad wud happen. but im usually a light user. say 4 joints a day with 4 grains of # in each.
It really depends on your physiology.

People quit cigarettes without incident, too!
