Asthma and weed
I am Amit(40 yrs, asthmatic) , I was addict to alcohol for 15 yrs, In 2016 i left alcohol completely but I started smoking weed. Its been 2 years now and what i observed and felt is that i didn't take my inhaler(Foracart) from 6 months, I think weed somehow helped me in my asthma. But the problem now is that i also want to quit smoking weed. So, I just want to know what is their any medicine available which contains weed or is their any other way to take weed in medicinal form.

Consult a good psychiatrist who can help you in quitting weed and drugs. Since you had an alcohol dependence and now weed smoker- you may need counselling as well. If required by the psychiatrist you will be started on a medication for helping you quit
