Origins
James Langton
In 2004 James Langton founded Clearhead a unique resource for cannabis users seeking positive change. James has guided hundreds of people to review their relationship with cannabis and quit using the drug. James has a special understanding of how it feels to be dependent on cannabis and tobacco through his own thirty year experience as an addicted user. 2008 saw his seminal book No Need For Weed - Understanding and Breaking Cannabis Dependency published by Hindsight Press.
Praise for No Need For Weed
James Langton's book No Need for Weed gives an honest account of how it really is to break the habit of cannabis dependency. It is punctuated with real life experiences that make sense of the process.
It's an account of how real life is for someone attempting to quit cannabis use. It leads the reader through step by step and explores the thoughts and difficulties experienced by others. When it looks like those experiences will be too hard for a person, it acknowledges those difficulties and offers solutions.
The book and author accept the failings of people and accept that more often than not people will slip back in to dependency but encourages them to battle on to success. I believe it is a book that crosses the boundaries between professionals and users and that both will find it a useful tool, to aid people to break away from cannabis dependency. As both a mother of a now recovering cannabis dependent son and a professional working with young people I shall refer to the book and web site on a regular basis for ideas and support.
